Gogol Bordello are amongst the support bands for Rage's gig
Gogol Bordello, Roots Manuva and Gallows have joined the bill for Rage Against The Machine's free RageFactor 'celebration party' in London in June.
The gig, being held by the Los Angeles rockers to celebrate beating X Factor's Joe McElderry to Christmas number one last year, takes place on Sunday 6 June.
In December 2009, the rockers reached the Christmas number one spot following a Facebook campaign by Jon and Tracy Morter.
All tickets have been allocated after organisers revealed that 122,215 applied for free tickets to the 40,000 capacity event in February.
Speaking about the announcement of the gig earlier this year Rage Against The Machine's guitarist Tom Morello said: "We were very happy that our song was a vehicle for what was truly a grassroots people's revolution.
"It was not so much the band as the people who toppled the X Factor giant - frankly it was a shock wave around the world."
