hahninator Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 The Australian Tour is here! Linkin Park kicks off their Australian leg of the "A Thousand Suns" World Tour down under on the third of December in Boondall, Australia (a small city just north of Brisbane) at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. It's definitely fitting since the last show they played in Australia took place at the exact same venue - Boondall closed the Australia / New Zealand Tour for "Minutes To Midnight" on October 22, 2007 (show page here). That show spurned the only audience recording of that tour that we have, and the first full audience tape from Australia at all. 'Bleed It Out' from that show is really cool in my opinion since Chester went out into the crowd with his red cast on (from his broken arm in Melbourne, which we'll get to later!). DSP's for that tour weren't initially released but were posted online earlier this year thankfully. An interesting note about that show is that Shadowfax (an old LPL staff member) and I pushed to get LPLive 2.0 released on that day (October 22, 2007) because he was going to promote LPLive to Mike at the LPU M&G! So we launched that day before the show. Linkin Park's first performance in Brisbane came in 2001 at the Festival Hall (no show page)...they played the city again in 2003 (no show page either) at the RNA Showgrounds for the Livid Festival. Altogether, this is their fourth show in the city. The band has only been to Australia three times before - in 2001 for three shows (plus one in New Zealand), in 2003 for three shows (featuring them flying to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in between the Melbourne and Brisbane shows, haha), and in 2007 for seven shows (plus two in New Zealand). This is their largest tour there to date with NINE concerts, but New Zealand has unfortunately been left out. It is possible that New Zealand could be included on the Asian Tour in 2011, which will come after the North American Tour and before the summer European Tour. We'll see! The second LPU Summit will be held in Sydney on the 15th, read about that here. This will be a tour to follow on LPLive for sure since it's very possible that Jay-Z will come out for one or two shows. He is currently down under supporting U2 (lol?) on their "360 Australia / New Zealand Tour". Looking at those tour dates, you'll see that there are plenty of off days for Jay, meaning he COULD possibly come out at any of the below Linkin Park shows: - Newcastle, 4th Dec - Burswood, 7th Dec - Sydney (night 1), 11th Dec - Melbourne (night 1), 12th Dec - Sydney (night 2), 15th Dec (+ 2nd LPU Summit) - Canberra, 16th Dec Jay-Z hasn't been seen at a Linkin Park show since June 29, 2008 (show page here) in Milton Keynes, England (which was filmed for the band's "Road To Revolution" live CD/DVD). At that show, he did the same songs he did in New York City, NY @ Madison Square Garden on February 21, 2008 (show page here) with his SURPRISE guest appearance: half of "Numb/Encore" and all of "Jigga What/Faint" (w/ ext. outro). What shows, if any, do you think he'll come out at in Australia? LP usually takes advantage of these collaborations with Jay (see his surprise appearance in Holmdel, NJ in 2004). Chester recently mentioned in this interview that it's indeed possible. Along with the band likely playing several setlists, this should make for an exciting tour! So who's going to Boondall for the first show of the tour? SETLIST: 01. The Requiem 02. Wretches And Kings 03. Papercut 04. Given Up 05. New Divide 06. Faint 07. Empty Spaces 08. When They Come For Me 09. No More Sorrow 10. Jornada Del Muerto 11. Waiting For The End 12. Wisdom, Justice, And Love 13. Iridescent 14. Numb 15. The Radiance (Live Version) 16. Breaking The Habit 17. Shadow Of The Day 18. Crawling 19. One Step Closer ---------------------- 20. Fallout 21. The Catalyst 22. The Messenger (w/ Happy Birthday Brad) 23. In The End 24. What I've Done 25. Bleed It Out (APFMH over bridge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecanoLP Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Ah, that was an awesome read. Thanks for all these facts I do really hope New Zealand will get some shows next year, they just can't let itout... A Jay - Z appearance would be nice but even better if they played some other songs with him... Always the same is kinda boring. Can't wait for Friday Edited December 1, 2010 by DecanoLP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsw2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkk *jumps up and down* If Jay comes out, that would be epic. but please, no Numb/Encore. It's so boring, especially if they are gonna just play half of it. Mix it up, please!! Do DOYS/LFY or POA/99P/OSC! Lucky Aussies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the band likely playing several setlists, this should make for an exciting tour!i think it would be cool if he came out, as long as he doesn't play numb/encore. The band playing several setlist! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkin_boss Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 i hope if jay appears they play something different from jigga what faint... poa/99 problems/ osc would be cool, dirt off your shoulder/lying from you would be too waiting to see if we see any changes on setlist... OFF-TOPIC: btw. any idea about when it's coming the next single? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trang Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hope Chester sings No Woman No Cry again... This time the first verse entirely without the crowd cutting for the chorus. I don't really want them to play new setlists... Just the two good old ones would do fine, and the new ones for the US tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkin_boss Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 they need to do a mash up between poa and wtcfm... xD that would be fucking ironic i'd love to see someday a drum solo on wtcfm that song its all about percussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narc85 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 i'm going! my flight from perth to brisbane is later tonight... pretty excited looks like i didn't make the meet and greet list for this one unless the emails are somehow staggered... which i doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Even if it isn't Jay-Z supporting them, hopefully the support act is good. Chris Cornell was awesome in 07 especially when he got the crowd to tell him to fuck off. Hell even Fort Minors support act was good in 06 (P-Money then Frontline) Ultimately though the concert will be fucking awesome!!! I just wish I could've got a M & G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerLP Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Im going and.. im pretty sure i was the first to bring up the LP/JAY-Z thing. hahaha (: http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5595&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburntiger Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Anyone know if DSPs will be available for all Aussie shows? The DL site still has the same list of cities before the other venues were announced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Anyone know if DSPs will be available for all Aussie shows? The DL site still has the same list of cities before the other venues were announced... The site just hasn't been updated yet. I don't think they'll fix it until after the tour and the DSPs start to surface. But yes we will get DSPs for ALL Australian shows ASAP. All headlining shows on the ATS cycle will get a DSP starting with Buenos Aires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 It's too bad Korn couldn't open the show considering they're in the country as well, but their show is on tomorrow night at around the same time as LP I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 My brother now also got a M&G. I might be going to a M&G for the Adelaide show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
