2003 - Cancelled/Rescheduled U.K. dates?

[Astat]

I was looking at an archived version of LP:Fuse earlier, and I happened to stumble across this (I cleaned this up a bit, as the archived version of the site is only available as raw HTML):

UK DATES NOT CONFIRMED, FOR SOME REASON LPA HAS REMOVED THEM, OTHER SITES HAVE KEPT THEM UP THOUGH

 

Also Numb is out as LP's new single on September 1st! (woo!)

This was before LP's summer European tour was officially announced. As you can see, the non-U.K. dates are spot on. But we also know that none of the dates after Lisbon (the U.K. dates) actually happened. So what was the deal here? Were these dates tentatively scheduled, then pulled in favor of the November U.K. tour? Was this info compiled from different sources, one of which was making stuff up? It seems unlikely that one source would have a bunch of correct dates and venues before they were announced, but also have a bunch of fake ones in the same list.

Nice find! Are the cities the same as the UK Tour that happened in November?

[GlassCastles]

All but Nottingham are the same cities.

[RogueSoul]

All but Nottingham are the same cities.

I see. I was too lazy to look it up

I think there is a good chance the UK Tour is rescheduled from the end of the European Tour. Good find Astat!

We should ask Energy because it seems like he's the only one who knew about these dates.

[Kirstie]

It is very odd.

 

I went to the November Manchester show and before that saw them at Leeds Festival in the August before.

 

I don't remember anything about a September show, if I had I would have booked tickets!! And as far as I can remember the November tour wasn't a rescheduled tour, it was always supposed to be November. (I was on holiday those September dates so seems unlikely)

 

Perhaps Simon got hold of provisional dates before it was actually confirmed?

I ran across this last year and I researched it. What the deal is, is that Adema opened for LP for the first 5 shows of that tour. The last 5 shows are Adema headlining shows in the UK. Notice how the venues are way too small for LP at that time. When all the dates leaked at once from the Adema camp, everyone thought LP was playing all of those shows but really just the first 5 are LP shows.

Mysteries aren’t mysteries for very long round here!!

 

Come on, back in the Mystery Machine!

Exactly the same like the 2001 Adema European tour dates.

[hahninator]

Yeah. I can't find any show announcement for Stockholm or Fredericksberg on that tour either (2001).

[Skipees]

Yeah. I can't find any show announcement for Stockholm or Fredericksberg on that tour either (2001).

I didn't forget it, I'm still working on it.

[[AndOne]]

Yeah those places are waaay too small.

I can't find any show announcement for Stockholm or Fredericksberg on that tour either (2001).

I found these two:

 

Source->Google Translate:

- Health our Swedish fans that we will, probably in the fall. We owe you a concert, says the singer Chester Bennington. Linkin Park have just finished recording the new album Meteora, released on March 24. When Expressen hits Chester, guitarist Brad Delson and drummer Rob Bourdon in Los Angeles, they want to send a greeting to his fans in Sweden. - Many of the fans who found us through the Internet and has been with us at the Swedes. It is something that we really appreciate, we keep in regular contact with some of them, says Chester. California band would have played in Solnahallen September 9, 2001, but the show was never finished. - In the near future, we will work with marketing Meteora, so no exact date for the next big tour, we can not yet provide. But when we travel to Europe, we will try to organize a concert in Stockholm, we owe, says Brad Delson. Group's last album, Hybrid Theory, was the 2001 best-seller in the United States (five times platinum).

And this one talks about both of the shows:

Source->Google Translate (not 100% understandable):

Linkin Park set autumn gigs in Denmark and Sweden. The band refers to changing conditions in the USA tour. Apparently, they earn more money there, but hope nevertheless to come to Sweden later. The band's latest album "Hybrid Theory" has sold gold here. Those of you who bought tickets to the band playing in Solnahallen, Stockholm, redeem these by October 9.
