oldlinkinparknew Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think it must be official now, even though they don't have the date on their website, because in rock in rio's official facebook page they already announced it and also on the portuguese website of RiR. Well, if this is true, I'm going to the show!!! I missed their last one here in Portugal and I've never attended a LP show so this time I must go!!!!!! otherwise I kill myself xD Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/10513-linkin-park-adds-rock-in-rio-lisboa-date/page/2/#findComment-210393 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astat Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm just checking their site and also RaR & RiP isn''t there. Strange Rock am Ring and Rock im Park aren't on LP.com because the actual dates LP is playing each festival haven't been announced yet. Hard to add something to an "Events" page without a date to enter for it, lol.

eXoBlackOut Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 They are gonna play Greenfield Festival in Switserland too: http://www.greenfieldfestival.ch/index.php?id=7 12 till 14th of June. There are also stil strong rumours that they are gonna play Pinkpop here in The Netherlands, the major sites are expeticting it actually since today they anounced A7x to play there too (not as headliner but as opener for Metellica) Pinkpop takes place around 6 June if im correct. All we need now is an album anouncement !

marzo23 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I don't think that they will play PinkPop this year.... RIP/RAR are on the same weekend like PinkPop. But i hope that they will play a longer euro tour in more countries than 2012. Maybe like 2008 in my opinion that was last real euro tour with many dates in different countries.

hahninator Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 The 2008 European Tour was really fun to follow because of the huge variety of shows. So many cool festivals and then really good headlining shows. Projekt Revolution in Germany and the UK, shows in Riga, etc. The setlists were fucking awesome - Reading My Eyes in one and then Valentine's Day, an encore of PMA/BTH/APFMH/OSC, etc. Being here on the forums with these 3 shows in a row was really a fun time to be an LP fan, followed by the full tour where a ton of people got to see the band: - Skive, where a new setlist came out and Reading My Eyes was in it - Rock In Rio, the webcast, a badass setlist and a huge insane crowd - Madrid's FM broadcast....fans going "what the fuck will be next...what will be the encore..." etc and then people going nuts it was CFTI, APFMH, Faint, OSC. That personally was one of my favorite tours ever to cover for the band and one of my favorite moments on LPLive. It sucks the site went down after that and we didn't recover until later during Projekt Rev, losing all those posts. But I'll never forget that tour and I hope someday we can get the DSPs. That was really big variety, going from the Graz venue to a festival in Italy to Projekt Rev in Germany to fucking Dublin with QOTSA to a headlining Germany show. Second to that actually would be the European Tour earlier in 2008 with Hannover starting. Good god the LP community blew up when the new set had WID/Faint/NMS opening, Valentine's Day, Crawling (w/ KRWLNG intro), the new insane POA outro, My December, 2 encores, and APFMH/OSC closing. WOW people loved that. I don't think I've ever seen a first show of the tour since then get such a good reception/review online from every single person that saw the setlist. Not one complaint!

JZLP-Benningstrong Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 they need to do the two encores thing.. Mike once said that he would play anything and for more time but the problem is that it isn't his decision.

marzo23 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yeah i was in Hannover 2008 and tomorrow it is 6 years ago but i know every single song on the setlist and also the great video screen behind the band for example "hands held high" Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/10513-linkin-park-adds-rock-in-rio-lisboa-date/page/2/#findComment-210513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 they need to do the two encores thing.. Mike once said that he would play anything and for more time but the problem is that it isn't his decision. Don't really like the two encore thing. All it succeeds in doing is dragging the show on for another 5 minutes or so that consists of the band doing nothing. If they do two encores, they do two songs in each encore, if they do one encore, they do three or four songs in it. LP is a band that for whatever reason seems COMPLETELY opposed to doing a show approaching the two-hour mark, and they've been playing headling sets that are between an hour and a half to an hour and 40 minutes for over six years. They've chosen to put themselves in a VERY tight box when it comes to their set runtime, which probably has a lot of influence on what they end up playing.

mariotormo Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Steve Aoki announced as a special guest to the show We can assume A Light That Never Comes will be played. Well, it's not Hybrid Theory but it's something special Source: http://rockinriolisboa.sapo.pt/es/blog/car...apital-inicial/ Edited February 11, 2014 by mariotormo Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/10513-linkin-park-adds-rock-in-rio-lisboa-date/page/2/#findComment-211909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyleronlplive Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Steve Aoki announced as a special guest to the show We can assume A Light That Never Comes will be played. Well, it's not Hybrid Theory but it's something special Source: http://rockinriolisboa.sapo.pt/es/blog/car...apital-inicial/ I expect them to play ALTNC if Aoki is listed as a special guest. That could mean he doesn't have his own set and is appearing with another artist, obviously LP. in about 3.5 months, ALTNC may not be very popular by then, plus there will be new songs for them to perform from the new album which will be coming out shortly after that show. So the setlist will be interesting for this show at least.
