Sources are reporting that Rage Against the Machine will reunite in 2020 for a handful of music festivals, including Coachella

A major Rage Against the Machine reunion is reportedly in the works. Today (Nov. 11), an unverified Rage Against the Machine Instagram page was published, and the page listed a handful of of tour dates, including Coachella 2020. The post, which can be viewed below, features the same photo that Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello posted on his official Instagram page earlier this week.

Now, Forbes reports that it’s confirmed that a reunion is pending, sourcing Wayne Kamemoto, a “longtime associate” of Rage Against the Machine.

“The band’s social media is accurate,” Kamemoto reportedly said, via Forbes.

The last time Rage Against the Machine performed together was back in 2011. Over the past few years, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk have formed the band Prophets of Rage with hip-hop artists Chuck D and B-Real. Morello also released a new solo album last year called “The Atlas Underground.”

For singer Zack de la Rocha, this upcoming reunion would be one of the first big moves he has made in the music world. He has kept mainly out of the spotlight, except for releasing a solo single, “Digging for Windows,” in 2016, and appearing on a few tracks from rap duo Run the Jewels.

Here are the Rage Against the Machine reunion dates, as posted on Instagram:

3/26 — El Paso, TX
3/28 — Las Cruces, NM
3/30 — Phoenix, AZ
4/10 — Indio, CA
4/17 — Indio, CA
