The Hunting Party South American Tour

There is currently one potential in which LP will perform in South America again: September 2015 (Rock in Rio 6)

The band is rumored to perform at Rock In Rio 6 in Brazil (as well as a headlining show in Sao Paulo afterwards). According to the reporters on the Multishow webcast of the 10.18.2014 Circuito Banco do Brasil webcast, the band is suspected to be performing at the festival. (Source)

The Hunting Party Australasian Tour

The band is rumored to be undergoing a tour hitting both Australia and Asia (at the same time) in 2015. The band has, however, stated that they don't have plans to tour Asia.

LPL Member/LPIndia Founder RahulSethi has been in contact with an event organizer in India about a Linkin Park show there. Originally, the band was expected to perform their first show there in the summer, but as things seem to be playing out the band will be heading there earlier than originally thought. Unfortunately, it seems as if negotiations have fallen apart. (Latest Update)
Linkin Park has been cleared by the local Chinese government to perform a show in mainland China at the Chongqing Olympic Sports Center Stadium in Chongqing, China on May 1, 2015. It appears that there is only an agreement put in place as it is, and negotiations are yet to begin. (Source)
UPDATE: A new date for the show has been announced for October 3, 2015 by the venue's official site at the same venue and city. (Source)
UPDATE 2: More rumors for shows in Wuhan, Shenzhen, Beijing, and Shanghai have surfaced after a ticket dealer posted about these dates on a Chinese forum. (Source)
See The Hunting Party Chinese Tour for more details.

The Hunting Party Chinese Tour

After months of negotiations, the band landed a 5-show Chinese Tour, in the place of a full Asian tour. According to this article (and other previous sources), the negotiations for the tour were aimed for April and May, but ended up happening in July instead.

The Hunting Party European Tour

The band is will return to Europe yet again for another dual festival/headlining run in the summer of 2015. The tour was announced on February 24 with dates in Russia and Finland, but there are still some rumored dates to be announced.

The band is rumored to perform at the Rock'N'Heim Festival in Germany, after appearing on a German ticketing website. (Source)
A reliable source says the band will also be returning to St. Petersburg, Russia around the same time.
Given the band's timeline, it seems likely they could perform at the Sziget Festival in Sopron, Hungary.
The band is currently on ticket alert in Germany, meaning a few German shows should be announced soon. A site has claimed three shows will be played in Köln, München, and Berlin. (Source)
A show at the PGE Arena in Gdansk, Poland is rumored to be announced by Prestige MJM.

Shows Cancelled During Negotiations

The Hunting Party South American Tour

There were two full-fledged South American Tours the band planned to undergo - one in October 2014 and another in March 2015. The first one ended up being partially true, with two shows being played in Brazil on the Circuito Banco do Brasil.

The band was slated to play multiple dates in South America in 2014, including two headline shows in Brazil (Sao Paulo being one potential date), Chile, and Argentina. Argentina was next-to-confirmed when a Argentinian ticketing website (Vuenos Aires) listed the date for the band to perform at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas, but it never ended up happening.
The band was rumored to perform at three of the Lollapalooza festivals in South America - Brazil, Chile, and Argentina - but when the lineup was released, Linkin Park was not on it. (Source)

The Hunting Party Spring North American Tour

Truth be told, this is nothing more than a prediction based on trends than any definitive evidence. In May and June of 2015, the band will be hitting various festivals in the Western United States. Given that the band won't be hitting up locations on the Western and Center United States on their Winter Tour, it seems likely that the band will utilize the time between the festivals to stop at those locations.

The band was rumored to be playing various North American Summer Festivals including WMMR*B*Q in Camden, NJ and Rockfest in Kansas City, MO.

Mayhem Festival 2015

Mayhem Festival is a traveling festival akin to Warped Tour that has dates all over the United States. Linkin Park is rumored to headline, as well as Slipknot. Looks like this won't be happening now, as the band will be taking that time to tour Europe. (Source)

The Hunting Party Australasian Tour

The band is rumored to be undergoing a tour hitting both Australia and Asia (at the same time) in 2015. The band has, however, stated that they don't have plans to tour Asia.

LPL Member/LPIndia Founder RahulSethi has been in contact with an event organizer in India about a Linkin Park show there.

Anyone know any rumors going around?

Mike wants to do a North American tour in 2014 according to an interview, so I think that we might get one in August-September, like 2012.

hahninator · November 6, 2013

Mike says North America in 2014, Chester says North America in 2015. We'll see who's right. Maybe it's North America starting at the very end of 2014 or something. I think they'll hit the USA though right after Europe.

The South Americans seem very tight lipped but very positive the band will return in 2014. They seem to know something lol

felipeintheend · November 9, 2013

Pretty sure they are coming back to South America

Geki · November 9, 2013

Honestly, I hope we get a 2015 US tour. 2014 seems too soon to me, and I want a full tour, not a half-assed one.

shadowofthehabit92 · November 10, 2013

I really hope they come to Pensacola, FL on their North American Tour. I have never seen them live and the DeLuna Fest show was going to be my chance, but they cancelled. It's the closest they've ever come to where I live. New Orleans would be a nice option too.

colinreid · November 19, 2013

I'm just praying that they do not announce any more UK shows between 12-19 June as I am on vacation that week. Hopefully they announce some shortly after that week if there is any.

wesleylpbr · November 21, 2013

Linkin Park is rumored to play in France, at Garorock, in June:

FearOfTheDuck · November 21, 2013

Holy mother of pie that lineup. That must be fanmade, surely?

[AndOne] · November 21, 2013

Garorock is fake.

maybe is fake like AndOne said. I just saw that image and posted here hahaha

[AndOne] · November 21, 2013

If it was real the official website would actually confirm that which it doesn't and the bottom text line of the poster says "non official program" and it's generated via pimpmyfest.com

It's possible they could play it but the lineup is definitely made up.

xdespisedkidx · November 21, 2013

Betraying The Martyrs posted this photo 2 days ago. Fake.

stich · November 27, 2013

is LP gonna make a few solo shows, or this is gonna be a festivals tour?

wiiesel · November 27, 2013

We don't know yet. But I am almost positive that they will also play some solo shows.

[AndOne] · November 27, 2013

If it's a bigger festival tour they usually squeeze in solo/headline shows in between, since the festivals are on the weekends.

Skipees · December 2, 2013

Metallica headlining the first day of Rock Werchter 2014.. So there are two "empty" days.

Sonisphere too (with Iron Maiden)!

Pinkpop too lol.

RogueSoul · December 2, 2013

Added them.

anvanoppens · December 10, 2013

Werchter is actually 4 days (7/3-6/2014), and so far there should be at least (in case of no co-headlining) 2 headlining spots left (Sat-5th & Sun-6th)

I'm not sure how likely they'll add this festival to their tour scedule... I mean, they would have to be in Europe for at least a month (RW is as good as a month after RAR/RIP) for this to be possible. (But yeah if Metallica can do this...)

Anyway, I'm praying so hard for LP to be added to the Rock Werchter line up (since it's in my own country which they tend to visit once in a decade), and keeping a fixed eye on #RW14 updates on Twitter, local radio station and festival rumor pages.

Fingers crossed!

I just wanted to add that using the color red for something confirmed is a little weird.

Metallica is actually doing two tours of Europe. One in June and one in July. I don't think LP will do Rock Werchter due to it being so late, but who knows. I'd say this will be about 15 shows over a month so maybe it's possible.

What should I do to signal that the show is confirmed? Change the color?
