Tom Morello Returns with a New Tour and a Revolving Stage

Rock and roll’s number one rule breaker is back in the saddle. Tom Morello, the legendary guitarist from Rage Against the Machine, has announced a new tour that will take him across North America this fall. The “Tom Morello & Friends Electric Full Band Show Tour” promises to bring his signature style of rebellion and musical innovation to venues ranging from arts centers and theaters to music halls, plazas, and casinos.

The tour kicks off with a series of high-energy performances in New York and New Jersey. The first stop is Brooklyn’s Warsaw on Tuesday, November 18. Following that, Morello will headline at Irving Plaza in New York on Wednesday, November 19, and then take the stage at the Borgata Casino Music Box in Atlantic City on Friday, November 21.

In a humorous post on Instagram, Morello teased the tour by saying, “Coming at you this fall! The last Big Event before they throw us all in jail!” This lighthearted tone reflects his long-standing reputation as a performer who isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo.

Before heading to the U.S., Morello will make appearances at the Rocklahoma Festival in Oklahoma on August 30. After that, he will embark on a Canadian tour, which he has described as “a night of stories and music.” Over the past few weeks, Morello has been performing in Canada, and fans have reported that his shows typically feature over 20 tracks. His most recent concert at Toronto’s Danforth Hall was a 21-song set that included hits from Rage Against the Machine, solo material, and Nightwatchman favorites, along with surprise covers of artists like Ozzy Osbourne, Woody Guthrie, Audioslave, Bruce Springsteen, and John Lennon.

One of the highlights of the Toronto show was when Morello shared the stage with Alex Lifeson of Rush for a blistering rendition of “Limelight,” followed by a powerful performance of MC5’s “Kick Out the Jams.” According to Soundcheck Entertainment, the show was “a rallying cry, a family celebration, and a musical gut-punch all rolled into one.”

Fans interested in attending these shows can purchase tickets through platforms like Vivid Seats. The official on-sale date for the “Tom Morello & Friends Electric Full Band Show Tour” is Friday, July 25. It's worth noting that Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, so prices may vary depending on demand.
