Zack de la Rocha and co. were initially due to hit the road between March and May 2020, with RTJ appearing as their support act. However, the tour became one of the first to be shelved as a result of the coronavirus crisis in March 2020 – and in May was rescheduled for summer 2021.

It was then confirmed that the ‘Public Service Announcement’ tour would begin this spring, kicking off in El Paso, Texas on March 31, 2022.
