Just announced via Linkin Park twitter and posted on LinkinPark.com:

Linkin Park will be playing the Rock Port Festival in Odessa, Ukraine on June 12. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 30 at 17:00 (local). This will be the first show the band has ever played in the Ukraine. The real festival name is "Prostorock 2012" and it will take place at Stadion "Chornomorets" in Odesa.

Thoughts? There's still room left in the schedule for a few more Euro shows....

Holy shit! Finally!!! I just have no words right now.

nice for the ukraine !! first time LP and than you will also see the german soccer team kicks everyones ass bye the euro2012

which is even better than the LP show

glad they play a show in a country they've never played in before

Remember you saying they would never play in Ukraine

Haha now You don't have to worry about a place to stay Ticket info please I may go there

cant believe UK is still not coming up in the list , cheers anways for Ukraine Fans enjoy the show

I only know "rock port" from "need for speed most wanted" XD

I don't think I ever said so, if I did please show me that post and correct me

They're playing Poland and Ukraine because of: Euro 2012 If there were nothing happening they wouldn't play at all ;p

btw there is a chance for Czech Rep show! Prague please

Actually I think he was referring to my words in the past.

Of course i was reffering to SergSlim

Im happy for sergslim and all other fans from Ukraine, nice that this country will got the first LP show

Congrats man! I bet you are so happy.

I think they will do a London show or something too I would guess...or maybe a UK festival. I don't think LP has ever done a European Tour without stopping *somewhere* in the UK. One of the largest fanbases outside of Germany, Japan and the USA.

Remember there are still plenty of days off between Rock im Park and NovaRock...time for more shows and room for more shows to be added.

Mark, you should come to Ukraine!

i think there will a UK show because of LP will earn money and the britains have enough

Can anyone find the venue....? Haha I'd love to Serg but if the US tour is big I can hit more shows here....

@mark do you will be here in germany for rockamring?

I am very glad that dreams are made even though through a very long period of time and a concert in Ukraine is the dream of every fans from Ukraine including me.

What is the proper venue name for our 2012 tour page?

"Ctadion Chernomorets", "Chernomorets", "Chernomorets Stadium" or what? Or "стадіон Chernomorets"?

'Stadion Chernomorets', which translated in English means 'Chernomorets Stadium'.

This is not "Rock Port" festival, this is "Prostorock" festival".

Thanks for the correction! I wonder why LP said Rock Port. Is that what it is translated to English?

Is the poster in Ukrainian?

Look ok how I have it here? http://lplive.net/2012.php

congrats serg!



if we get a UK show, it'll be a london headline show. I doubt that they'll be appearing in the UK as part of a festival.

• Download's line-up is pretty solid and I can't see LP fitting in there anywhere beneath any of the current announced acts. I don't think they'd headline there in 2011 and then within the next year play a support slot!
• same with Sonisphere - nowhere they'd fit in comfortably
• Reading and Leeds are done, they're just announcing dance stages, comedy etc. now
• and I think the others like V, T in The Park... - I don't think they're meant to appeal to the LP crowd, and I actually think R/L now no longer caters for LP's style of music...

No, it's translate as "Just Rock" or "Justrock". Maybe they got confused with the letters.

I think it's just ad for internet. Poster will be soon.

According to organizers also Garbage and Sunrise Avenue will play at the festival

No, it's in Russian.

Actually Ukrainian name of the venue transliterated to English would be:
Stadion "Chornomorets"
That's according to the latest Ukrainian law about transliteration. And this is transliteration of Ukrainian name of the stadium and not Russian.

And also, Odesa should have only 1 S letter according to Ukrainian transliteration and Ukrainian city name. Odessa with double S - is Russian name of the city.

i think they will be add 2 or 3 shows. maybe one show before skive. maybe in stockholm and 1 or 2 shows after rock im park. there could be an UK show or italian show i don´t think they will play more shows in eastern europe.
and maybe spain get a show in front of the rock in rio festival

congrats Ukraine

UK and France are still missing

hahahhaha thats right mate ! but unfortunately one hasnt showed up yet , Uk has the olympics right now , all major bands are heading to London , im surprised Limpbizkit is playing 2 shows in uk , slayer is doing in may , Lp alone hasnt announced a Uk show common Lp




Yah ur right Graham , download is full , reading even pretty much , Sonisphere has backed out , London the perfect destination , how abt a massive show in the WEMBLEY it will be so awesome to fit the whole uk crowds

Still entering 2012 tour dates can't believe to see there Ukrainian flag. Not only SergSlim thought that it never will be happening - every and each of fans from Ukraine

Ну все я буду в гавно xD

What exactly do you mean?

I mean that I will have weekly alcohol-round concerts Linkin Park

Tickets went on sale.

As predicted, because it is in Ukraine - no real info, only 1 ticket type available (Fan Zone 1) with ambiguous comment about first 500 tickets for $100.

No venue scheme, no other ticket prices... nothing. No info by phone - all they say is to wait till Monday.

It is written that you can buy these tickets only using Visa/MasterCard, at the same time people say that there's a way to select pay method - cash.

Only in Ukraine ©

Congrats to the fans in Ukraine!!

Surprised no UK announcement yet. LGraham is right all the major festivals here that Linkin Park could play at have headliners.

Maybe it'll be later in the year before they make a stop here. I prefer indoor shows anyway so later in the year would suit me.

Adam changed the blog post title to Prosto Rock, so it's official for those who doubted.

Damn now I wish I was goin to euro 2012 now

News from Ukrainian news channel.
It is said that LP has a 60-page raider. On the list - there's smoking prohibition near the band: backstage, in front of stage, etc.

Chester definitely didn't want to be involved in this. You can even see how fast he wanna get out of there, as soon as Mike says last words, rofl!

Concert Agency reduced ticket prices for the most expensive seats from $175 to $125, also they reduced other seat prices too, but not the cheapest, and not the Fan Zone prices. Though they say that it's what the band confirmed so far. There might be more knews later.
