Rage, Crowded House reunite
They may come from opposite sides of the musical landscape but a reunited Rage Against the Machine and Crowded House are set to appear at the Coachella music festival.
The annual event, now in its eighth year, has previously showcased reunions of major acts like the Stooges and the Pixies.
The political, left-wing thrashers, who haven't played together since 2000, are headlining the festival alongside American funk-rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers and Icelandic chanteuse Bjork.
This year's Coachella is to take place on 27 to 29 April at Indio's Empire Polo Field, some 200km outside Los Angeles, and is to feature other acts like British sensations Arctic Monkeys, critically acclaimed Canadians Arcade Fire, Travis, Interpol, Sonic Youth, Kaiser Chiefs, Lily Allen, Willie Nelson - and, also joining the reunion bandwagon, regrouped Happy Mondays and Jesus and Mary Chain.
The Rage reunion is expected to be a once-off, according to Billboard.com. The band, which in 1999 headlined the first Coachella alongside Tool, broke up in 2000 after internal friction caused singer Zack de la Rocha to quit. ... Source: iAfrica
