Californian hip-hop collective Cypress Hill are likely to be supporting Rage Against The Machine at their victory gig in Finsbury Park this June. efestivals.co.uk lists the platinum-selling Latino rap act as "to be confirmed" on their lineup page for the Rage Factor event.

Rage against the Rage: Cypress Hill prefer a more laid-back approach to music.

Cypress Hill, famous for their psychadelic loops and 1994 hit "Insane in the Brain" will soon be celebrating the release of their eighth studio album. "Rise Up" features contributions from RATM guitarist and Los Angeles neighbour Tom Morello, suggesting live collaborations may also be a possibility this summer.

RATM will also be performing at Dublin's O2 arena on June 8, supported by Gallows; and at the Download Festival at Donnington Park. "Due to the insane demand for tickets for the free Rage show in

Finsbury Park, we have decided to jump on this year's Download Festival

as well and spread The Rage Factor around the country a bit," said Morello.

Tickets for the free gig on June 6 have now all been allocated.

Have they booked the London Symphony Orchestra as support again?
