Rage Against The Machine will soon release their Live At Finsbury Park concert film. You can see footage of the gig below.

Taking place on June 6, 2010, the gig was a result of a successful Facebook campaign forged by Jon Morter and his ex-wife Tracy to get the band’s 1992 track ‘Killing In The Name’ to Christmas No.1.

This successfully stopped Simon Cowell’s X-Factor single from taking the obligatory No.1 spot.

Only previously available as an extra in the Rage Against The Machine Deluxe Box Set, the twelve track concert film also includes ‘Behind the scenes at Finsbury Park’ footage, as well as an interview with campaigners, the Morters.

Check out some footage from the concert below: 

Beating X-Factor'sJoe McElderry to the 2009 Christmas number one spot, Rage Against The Machine celebrated the victory in London’s Finsbury Park on 6 June, 2010, with a free concert titled 'The Rage Factor.'

With support from Gallows, Roots Manuva and Gogol Bordello the band played to a crowd of almost 40,000 people.

'Rage Against The Machine - Live At Finsbury Park' is released by Eagle Rock Entertainment and will be available for pre-order on iTunes on 11 September. 

Those who wee lucky enough to attend the event may never get to see them play live again, as drummer Brad Wilk announced last year that the band won't be playing together again.
