Rage Against The Machine appeared in interrogation hoods and orange overalls as they headlined the opening day of the Reading Festival tonight (August 22nd).
The band wore the attire, which echoed that worn by prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention centre, for the entirety of their opening song ‘Bombtrack’.
As expected, the group played a politically motivated set, which saw frontman Zach De La Rocha call for Tony Blair and George Bush to be tried as war criminals.
The singer made a similar statement when the band performed at the T in the Park festival in Scotland in July.
Other notable highlights from the bands performance included ‘Wake Up’, ‘Ashes In The Fall’ and set closer ‘Killing In The Name’.
The Reading Festival continues tomorrow with a headlining performance from The Killers.
