A friend was looking at Rage Against The Machine's bio on wikipedia and clicked the section titled future. it listed some rage show and then said this:

On December 13th 2007, it was also announced that Rage Against The Machine will be headlining the Optimus Alive!08 Festival in Portugal along with Linkin Park, Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam.

    Other (Portuguese) articles say that Rage & Ben Harper have been confirmed for 2008. Nothing about Pearl Jam.
