Prophets of Rage are expected to drop a new single in the coming days, so let’s look back on one of the band’s biggest shows.

Prophets of Rage were joined by Tenacious D, Vic Mensa, Everlast, Jackson Browne and Chris Cornell for their “Anti- Inaugural Ball” that took place on January 20, 2017 at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles.  

The evening has since become extra poignant since it was the last time Cornell performed alongside his former Audioslave bandmates before his tragic passing on May 18, 2017.
