Rage Against The Machine Announce Free London Gig

Register now to attend the show on 6th June

12 February 2010

Rage Against The Machine's much anticipated free London gig has now been announced as taking place in Finsbury Park on Sunday 6th June.

Rage Factor, in Finsbury Park, will celebrate the band’s successful Christmas number one bid last year.

Fans need to register for a chance to gain tickets to the event via theragefactor.co.uk.

Registration is open now until midnight on Sunday (February 14). Fans will then be able to apply for their tickets on Wednesday 17th February at 9am, with their registration number.

The gig is open to all ages but those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Rage Against The Machine agreed to stage the gig after a Facebook campaign catapulted them to Christmas number one last year.

The group’s early 90s hit ‘Killing In the Name’ sold 502,000 copies, denying X Factor winner Joe McElderry the top spot.

Guitarist Tom Morello described the feat as “historic” and said the group had “toppled the X Factor giant”.

Referring to the free gig, he added: “Well...here we come. June 6, Finsbury Park, the celebration/party/revolution is ON!!"

The band has invited X Factor boss Simon Cowell to compere the event. Stay posted for more info, including details of support acts.

Rage Against The Machine are also expected to be confirmed on Monday as one of the two remaining headliners joining AC/DC at this year's Download Festival.
