The Evil Empire Tour is a concert tour by Rage Against the Machine to support their second studio album Evil Empire. The tour started on January 12, 1996 and finished on September 21, 1997. After completing the tour, the band went back into the studio for most of 1998 to write and record their third studio album The Battle of Los Angeles.
