Rage Against The Machine To Announce Huge UK Concert?

Who would have thought it a few weeks ago that a 90's underground rock act would be competing for the UK 2009 Christmas Number One single? Thanks to an Internet campaign on social networking site facebook, which has snowballed in recent weeks to capture the imagination of the nation, it could soon be a reality.
What's more the band have now announced there will be a huge FREE concert to take place next year in the UK to celebrate if they claim victory over the X-Factor winners song. 'Killing In The Name' is currently just 5,000 sales ahead of the X-Factor winners track, with Saturday sales being crucial on the busiest shopping day of the year.
If the unprecedented grassroots movement to topple the X-Factor monopoly is successful in making RATM number one this Sunday, the band will return to UK shores sometime in 2010 for a massive "thank you" gig and Rage Against The Machine have vowed to invite the X-Factor empressario Simon Cowell, to MC the show!
Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello had this to say:
"Attention Freedom Fighters! RAGE VS. X-FACTOR WILL BE DECIDED BY SATURDAY'S SALES. Spread the word! Knock on doors! Host downloading parties! Knock over ladies buying X-Factor! The clock is ticking. And if "Killing in the Name" is number one WE ARE COMING. And it will be the victory party to end all victory parties."
You can download the single now to count towards the UK Christmas singles charts, but be quick - you have until midnight tonight for it to count towards tomorrow's Christmas chart countdown.
