Coizu Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Isn't that the entire point of going to a show?That's the point of a show but he was talking about festival shows which are different since you pay for quite a few bands that you probably don't want to see. So a lot of people don't get to see them when they only do festival shows because it's just way more expensive than solo shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliss Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Isn't that the entire point of going to a show? Unless you're just going to shows to check out random bands and artists, but a lot of people will travel and pay to see their favorite band play. Lol. Honestly, you can't expect LP to tour Europe more than everywhere else for each album cycle. I know you guys didn't get a proper Europe tour in your opinion for the LT cycle, but LP has done TONS of shows in Europe over the years, Europe even got more tours than the US for the ATS cycle. At the end of the day, LP is a US band, so naturally they will play the US with big summer tours like this one, but that doesn't mean they will forget about Europe, they will definitely be over there. It seems that most of the bands I like are always playing festivals in Europe because that's what people like to go to. I love festivals, personally, and the US festivals are nothing compare to European festivals, I hear. But LP also has to play places like Asia, South America, Australia/New Zealand, etc, they are a global band and have a lot of fans almost everywhere. I think it's fair if each continent gets basically one tour or so.Amen! Must US festivals suck and are in places like Vegas and crap that I cant travel too. Only few states actually get festivals That's the point of a show but he was talking about festival shows which are different since you pay for quite a few bands that you probably don't want to see.

All the festivals I know around here in Europe are way more expensive than a solo show (at least twice as much). You can buy single day tickets for some of them but not all of them.

wiiesel Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I went to the Rockstar Uproar Festival for only $20. to me that is no festival. Festivals here in Europe last 3 or 4 days and are $200 - $275. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projektion Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'm pretty happy this tour is not over here, as much as I liked LP in the past, 30STM are just boring live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AndOne] Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Well I was talking about festivals that are big enough for LP to play at. And like wiiesel said, pretty much every Festival is 3-4 days longBig countries like the USA and Australia have these traveling "festivals". Especially the US is very different from Europe it that sense, they have all these amphitheaters that are made for this, it's all much easier. They are not really festivals, more like tours, and return every year with a different line up. If they had to build a stage for every tour stop, they wouldn't be just one day. Extended to several days tours like Mayhem would take much longer or hit less places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpsoad-09 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Is there anyone going to the Charlotte, NC show by car, and by chance, passing through Knoxville, TN on his way? I'm gonna be there and having someone give me a ride will probably be my only chance to attend a concert on this tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AndOne] Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Mark, Preston (and I) are going by car from Florida to Charlotte, but to Knoxville is a big detour I guess. Why don't you take a Megabus from Knoxville to Charlotte for a couple of bucks? and maybe we can pick you up in Charlotte for the show.

Megabus doesn't go to Charlotte from Knoxville If they add an Atlanta show, I could to that. Flying is not an option, and Greyound bus isn't really appealing. I didn't like it the one time I took one of their buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hahninator Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 http://www.pursuitofdopeness.com/2014/03/1...ds-to-mars-afi/ Tinley Park is getting the radio festival treatment (like we've seen before on pr04 and pr08)... More bands will be announced for that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlassCastles Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) That would explain why the show starts so fucking early. I wonder who else will be playing. Edited March 24, 2014 by CASTLE OF GLASS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSoul Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm assuming this is some tie-in with a festival the radio station set up, unless this is going to happen with more shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hahninator Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I don't think it will happen with more shows, but you never know. I agree. Usually when radio stations take over/sponsor a show of a tour, they don't add more bands. I made sure in 5.0 (huge site upgrade info-wise) that I listed them all on the year/show pages. Now that I'm not on my phone, I'll describe the cases where it's been done for LP before: Nottingham 2003 - This one is unique. As far as we know, either BBC legit booked this show or LP booked it and BBC paid/got it to be exclusive for BBC and BBC winners (and a few LPU after that) only. But it wasn't announced on LP.com. Other examples of this are London 2001 at BBC (a secret show), and the MTV show in Milan in 2001. These aren't exactly what we are talking about though. ------ East Rutherford 2003 - K-Rock's DFP-7-Tarium. Instead of hosting their own summer show that year, K-Rock "sponsored" (or whatever you want to call it) the Summer Sanitarium stop there. I'd love to know more technical details about this kind of stuff - how it happens, how much it costs, etc. LP returned to play the K-Rock winter festival that December too. In 2001, LP played the K-Rock DFP 5 show in Wantagh but it was NOT a part of Ozzfest, it was a legit radio show. Noblesville 2004 - X-103's X-Fest 10. Same deal as East Rutherford - radio station sponsors the local summer stop of the tour. Projekt Rev. It didn't happen on Projekt Revolution 2007 as far as I know. I followed the whole tour and didn't see it... Atlanta 2008 - Project 96.1 Revolution. Project usually hosted a fall festival show and also a spring show called Project Cinco (for 3-4 years in a row)...this one was a summer one in 2008. Just sponsored the ATL show. An interesting note is that a local DJ came up and introduced LP to the stage at this show - only time I have ever seen that at an LP show. It definitely didn't happen on the Honda Civic Tour. I think that tour was too big for that to happen, lol Tinley Park 2014 - 101WKQX's Piqniq Festival. For the first time, they are adding more bands. I'm sure they had to pay LP a lot for that, what do you think? I've never seen a show like this with more bands. With how rare this is, I bet it's a costly thing for stations to do. I'm assuming this is some tie-in with a festival the radio station set up, unless this is going to happen with more shows? From my understanding with the four cases I listed above (2003, 2004, 2008 and 2014), Linkin Park books the tour themselves and then a radio station comes in and says they want to do this. I don't think the station is bringing Linkin Park in specifically themselves. I'd be surprised if I am wrong on that assumption. From the way I look at it, if you wanted to call the Camden show "Soul's Summer Rock Festival" I bet you could with a lot of cash haha.

Geki Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 ... Wow, awesome post. But wasn't Syracuse, NY on Projekt Rev 2007 something? Because they played at the New York State Fair and it was in the middle of a field and it was mixed in with the whole State Fair thing, hence why Chester was talking during the show about the shark tanks and the Sea Lion exhibit, etc. I also remember that when people went to get their meet and greet passes at the Will Call Booth, the people there were handing them out to basically just anyone that said they had a meet and greet pass, but they were stopped after a certain point. It was a disaster. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The venues were fixed by me too...they weren't specific enough. 2007.08.28 Syracuse, NY, New York State Fair Grandstand, New York State Fair 2014.08.26 Falcon Heights, MN, Minnesota State Fair Grandstand, Minnesota State Fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipees Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 ...Great post Mark. I want to add a little question - when it's not a radio festival, what the "presents" exactly means show-wise? For example, Roseland Ballroom 2001 by 92.3 K-Rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
