Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello has changed his spring tour schedule in order to return to the road with Bruce Springsteen. The two outspoken musicians have been friends for years, and this new run of shows comes shortly after they shared the stage at an anti-ICE protest concert Morello organized in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last month.
Morello wrote on social media on February 24 about the updated tour plans:
“After Bruce joined me last month in Minneapolis for our ‘Defend Minnesota‘ charity concert, I was reminded how important our platform is, and how crucial the resistance work is that our music can do together at this dangerous historical juncture. Together, Bruce, the E Street Band, and I are going to turn a spotlight on the current threats to democracy and human rights happening all around us the in the spirit of freedom, justice, and rock n roll. This will necessitate postponing a few of my solo shows in May. I have a deep love and respect for all my friends, fans & comrades and I promise that we will find a way to be together for these shows, in these towns, very soon.”
Because he will be joining Springsteen on the upcoming “Land Of Hope & Dreams American Tour,” Morello has called off several previously scheduled solo shows. The canceled dates are:
- May 8 – Daytona, FL – Welcome to Rockville
- May 16 – Columbus, OH – Sonic Temple
- May 24 – Napa Valley, CA – BottleRock Napa Valley
A number of other headline performances will be moved to later dates, with all purchased tickets remaining valid:
