Rage Against the Machine packed Raleigh, N.C.’s PNC Arena for their “Public Service Announcement Tour” concert with Run the Jewels, Sunday night, July 31, 2022.
Although the usually hyper-kinetic Zack de la Rocha was seated for the show due to a leg injury, the band still brought forth their fiery energy, barely contained by the stage.
