Since the band split in 2000, it reformed in 2007 for its first reunion tour and then again in 2019 after announcing several reunion shows and headlining slots at the Coachella Music Festival in California.
Rolling Stone reported that the “Public Service Announcement” tour is to be supported by American hip hop duo Run the Jewels and is to kick off in El Paso, Texas on March 26. All proceeds of the first three shows are to go directly to immigrant rights organizations.
RATM is to play in the United States and Europe over the seven-month tour, with stops that include California, Chicago, New York, Leeds, Paris, Berlin and Prague. The tour is to finish on Sept. 10 in Krakow, Poland.
