Rage Against the Machine have been confirmed as the headliners at next year’s Pinkpop Festival.
While the one-off announcement may immediately excite around 0.7% of the Dutch population, it’s the surely relatively imminent revelation of more dates that will excite others, abroad.
Others already confirmed – Big Day Out in Australia and New Zealand at the start of 2008.
Foo Fighters will also appear at the event, which will run from the 30th of May to the 1st of June in Landgraaf, Holland.

Oh god
They are totally going to headline Reading this year and coupled with the absence of Carling it is going to be uber-rad. Yes, that's right, UBER-RAD!
RATM
are rumoured to headline leeds pretty much every year.
I'll believe it when i see it.
Yeah but
this time they've properly reformed. And the world NEEDS them, remember?

so what we need to do is start some more wars
then if we are at war, Rage will bring the war to us agian right?
i saw them at coachella
and they were sooooooooo good.
i want to go coachella again.
For a second, I thought it would be Roskilde
then I remembered that's Danish.
I was disappointed :(
I saw them at Glastonbury 1994
...back when Glastonbury was still good.
Does anyone remember that big spat at Reading 1996 when Rage went on before Prodigy despite the fact that they were billed as the headliners?
I seem to recall popular dissent from the assembled hordes.
with the fans though
not the bands.
the Bush, Terrorvision, Metallica and Marilyn Manson thing the following year was SOooo funny!
they were all bitching at each other saying "we are better we should be above you!!!" ended up being:
Met
MM
Bush
Terrorvision
that around Downlaod festival time
or Rock Am Ring
...
They're already confirmed for Rock am Ring too.
hmmmm
i didnt see that when i looked on the rock am ring website a few hours ago, maybe i cant follow the german site links
