Blabbermouth.net reports: According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE will give a rare performance at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota on September 3 — the same week as the Republican National Convention in St. Paul. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. for $60.

RAGE guitarist Tom Morello has also committed to perform with country-rocker Steve Earle at a union rally September 1 at St. Paul's Harriet Island, the first day of the convention.

Anytime RATM gets together is a good day. And if Morello and STEVE EARLE are teaming up for a show. . . sweetness.

Maybe they will tell the Republicians what they think about them that would be cool. Hope RATM stays together put out some new stuff and tour.
