Tom Morello

Tom Morello brings his shape-shifting guitar language to Electric Brixton in London on 15 June 2026. From Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave to Prophets of Rage and his folk alter ego The Nightwatchman, he’s built a catalog that moves between hard-edged riffs and protest songs. Live, that history folds into a set where turntable-like scratches come from a Strat, harmonics snap like percussion, and the whammy pedal bends riffs into sirens. Expect material drawn from across his bands and his Atlas Underground projects, reworked with drum-heavy grooves, dense effects and sudden drops into acoustic storytelling. Between talkbox squeals, killswitch rhythms and raw, sing-along choruses, Morello balances songs and technique with a direct, physical charge.

Special guests James and the Cold Gun bring lean, riff-first rock with a punk bite. Their twin-guitar energy and straight-ahead hooks set the tone for the night, warming the room with speed, fuzz and shout-along refrains before Morello takes the stage.
