Rage Against the Machine to Perform at Festival d’Été de Québec in 2022!

Quebec City, April 8, 2021 - Good news for festival-goers. Rage Against the Machine has confirmed their presence for the 2022 edition of Festival d’été de Québec! The legendary band will hit the Bell Stage on the Plains of Abraham on Saturday July 16, two years after their 2020 show was cancelled. This extremely rare visit to the province of Quebec, where they have not set foot in over 25 years, will mark their very first appearance in Québec City. This historic stop will be the only one in the province on this tour.

The band's reunion in 2019 created a buzz among fans and the rumour mill predicted that Zack de la Rocha and company would come to Quebec City. It is now confirmed: the FEQ is on RATM's 2022 festival circuit!

“This is excellent and very timely news for music fans. Following the challenges our industry has faced since 2020, this very first RATM stopover on the Plains will definitely be a great moment, both in the history of the FEQ and for the revival of our industry” underscored Louis Bellavance, director of programming for Festival d'été de Québec.

About Rage Against the Machine Formed in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, Rage Against the Machine experienced a meteoric rise in 1992 following the release of their first eponymous album, featuring mega hits Killing in the Name and Bombtrack. RATM is an emblematic figure of engaged rap metal. The riffs of guitarist Tom Morello and signature phrasing of Zack de la Rocha has forged the band’s distinctive sound.
