After an 11-year hiatus, the powerhouse known as Rage Against the Machine brought their highly anticipated “Public Service Announcement” Tour to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio!
As the lights dimmed and singer Zack was helped out to the front of the stage (following an earlier tour injury), the crowd erupted in excitement as the band that helped mold their generation returned to the stage in Cleveland for the first time in over a decade! That injury didn’t slow down any level of energy coming from the stage as the band surged right into Bombtrack and kept a consistent flow of energy-driven performances of songs that spanned their career, including Born of a Broken Man which hadn’t been performed live since September 3rd, 2008. Bulls on Parade graced the top 3 of the evening’s setlist and the night also included some covers. One that even featured the rap duo ‘Run the Jewels” on stage with them. The unforgettable night wrapped up with the band’s fan favorite Killing In The Name and left the crown with a night to remember for the rest of their lives!
