Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello has pushed back against some of the criticism leveled at the band online for headlining this year's Coachella festival, for which tickets start at $500.
One fan wrote, "Rage. Just FYI Coachella tix start at around $500 and sky rocket from there. There will be no revolution at this festival, this is a festival for people that can afford it."
The fan added, "Way to play to your values! I mean I'm for you guys reuniting, but please dont try to make it out to be some sort of cause, its not. It's for people to take pictures and videos of being at a 'nostalgic' RATM Reunion."
Another person wrote on Morello's social channels, "Zack De La Rocha previously: Burnin Mansions from Dallas to Malibu, check my resume your residence is residue. Zach de la Rocha now: we're headlining Coachella."
But Morello pointed out that the band had already headlined the event twice in the past, writing, "Previously: Rage headlined Coachella 1999. Previously: Rage headlined Coachella in 2007. #YaLateOnYaHate."
Coachella will take place over the weekends of April 10th through the 12th and April 17th through the 19th at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
