Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello to join Bruce Springsteen on tour

Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello is to join Bruce Springsteen on his Australian tour.

The guitarist will fill in for Steve Van Zandt on the Australian leg of the Wrecking Ball tour while he finishes filming Norwegian-American TV series Lillyhammer.

Van Zandt, who is best known in television for playing Silvio Dante in hit drama The Sopranos, is expected to re-join Springsteen on April 29 when the band play Oslo in Norway, reports Rolling Stone.

Tom Morello is no stranger to appearing on stage with Springsteen after he joined the legendary New Jersey singer at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California in December last year (2012).

The Rage Against The Machine guitarist – who played on the Wrecking Ball album – joined The Boss onstage for ‘Death to My Hometown’, ‘This Depression’, ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’, ‘Badlands’ and ‘Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out’.

Bruce Springsteen is set to play a number of UK and Ireland dates this summer as part of his European tour. He will play London’s Wembley Stadium on June 15 2013, Glasgow Hampden Park on June 18 and Coventry Ricoh Arena on June 20.

The Boss will then visit mainland Europe before travelling to Ireland to play Limerick Thomond Park on July 16, Cork Páirc Uí Chaoimh on July 18 and Belfast King’s Hall on July 20.
