Show Preview: LA Rising Featuring – Rage Against The Machine – Muse – Rise Against – at the LA Coliseum in Los Angeles, CA – July 30, 2011

Once again the good people over at Goldenvoice are responsible for assembling together some of the hugest names in rock for one hell of a concert gathering. The success of both Coachella and The Big 4 this spring has sparked a need for a closer to home summer festival, thus the centrally located and appropriately titled LA Rising.

Headlining LA Rising will be none other than hometown revolutionary rockers Rage Against The Machine, making this their first LA appearance since their intimate show at the Hollywood Palladium last July.

Joining in on the bill will be UK rockers Muse who are fresh off the road in support of their chart smashing album The Resistance. Muse have in the last few years risen up in the rock world and have become one of the hugest live bands on the road, known for selling out stadiums and arenas world wide, this will be their largest show in LA to date. Also on the lineup are Chicago’s punk heroes Rise Against, who are still on tour in support of their newly released album Endgame. They too have risen up and started headlining arenas and  amphitheaters around the US; this too will be the largest show they’ve played in LA


If 3 headlining bands joining forces for one night wasn’t enough, Ms Lauryn Hill, Immortal Technique, and El Gran Silencio are slated to kick off the day with their hip hop and rock en Espanol flavors.

The significance of this show is enormous! Not only is it taking place at LA’s largest concert venue, but it is the biggest hometown show to be headlined by Rage Against The Machine who have in many ways become much like a modern era Black Flag; targets of an unjust LAPD. Expect this very extravagant lineup to draw tens of thousands of rockers and hip hop fanatics from all over California, you’ll want to get to this show early for there is something for everyone at LA Rising.
