This joining of forces was too powerful now to tour the U.S.
After two high-profile gigs in Los Angeles and a show in Brooklyn, Prophets Of Rage have announced a 35-date tour that will kick off July 19th in Cleveland.
Hmmmm…isn’t the 2016 Republican National Convention taking place this year in Cleveland from July 18-21? What a coincidence!
In case you’ve been living under a rock that past few weeks, Prophets Of Rage is made up former Rage Against The Machine members Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, Public Enemy’s Chuck D, Cypress Hill’s B-Real and DJ Lord.
Tickets will be going on sale June 10th at LiveNation.com, with a portion of proceeds from every show aiding a local homeless charity.
