RogueSoul Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Official announcement out. This tour is a BIG deal. Quote
hahninator Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 These are massive shows indeed. LP is the biggest international band in China, ever. I hope they can do an LPU Summit there. Has anyone looked at the actual routing for this on a map? It makes zero sense to me. Shows 1 and 3 are 3 hours apart. Show 2 is 16 hours north. Shows 3 and 4 are 21 hours apart. Shows 4 and 5 are also 21 hours apart. Wow. I don't understand it at all - surely they need two touring rigs just to do these 5 shows. Quote
larisa0308 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 The closest stop from Hong Kong is Shenzhen, have to take 1-2 hours to get there, I'm trying to make a short trip hope it will happen at some point. Still figuring out how to buy the tickets from the ticket website though... Quote
hahninator Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Probably Given Up will be dropped yeah. What surprises me about this is that they'll be in the region but will skip Japan for THP. Japan is one of their biggest countries for the fanbase. If I recall correctly, I believe it is USA -> Germany -> Japan -> UK for album sales/popularity/etc. Quote
larisa0308 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 so... maybe again no Given Up like 2009?^^ Definitely they will have some songs dropped or censored because of the restrictions Quote
marzo23 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I believe it is USA -> Germany -> Japan -> UK for album sales/popularity/etc. I think UK hasnt such much sold albums. they only got 3 shows on the main THP tour in fall... that's nothing if you see how many we will get and got here in Germany alone for THP. Maybe in Russia or Poland more CDs were sold than UK for THP and I cant understand why LP is playing in countries where Human Rights will outraged like China, Belarus, and also Russia has many problems with them -.- Quote

Coizu Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 and I cant understand why LP is playing in countries where Human Rights will outraged like China, Belarus, and also Russia has many problems with them -.- You just punish your fans if you don't play there. It's not like every single person in these countries shits on human rights. Quote
abbasahmedlp Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 its tough to say that will there be a asia tour or not because the info says its the hunting party china tour,not the hunting party asia tour......i wish they make to asia tour soon......INDIA!!!!!!! Quote
Sidney Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 bought three tickets before my mom told me to attend to my brother's wedding on the same day now i have to sell them to somebody else cuz that Yongle agency doesn't support refund dayum! Quote

Sidney Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Are you a Chinese? Go to the tieba to sell them. Tried that. Hopefully someone will get interested. I'm even offering a discount...just wanna get this sh*t over with. Quote
RogueSoul Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 http://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2015/05/07/linkin-park-play-beijing-july-26 Looks like the band were originally shooting for this tour to be in April or May. That lines up with what info we had for the rumored Australasian Tour that didn't end up happening. Quote
hahninator Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I don't think that's what they meant. I think they are referring to the ticket agency cancelling several April/May other shows, not LP. They are wrong about a skateboarding incident, it was him building legos or whatever. Quote
RogueSoul Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 The skateboarding aounds slightly more edgy though Quote
hahninator Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Joe will be in Tokyo 2 days before the show. https://instagram.com/p/38PGlRzcU5/?taken-by=toon_ws Toon Workshop/Good Smile Company. For some new headphones he worked with. Good Smile designed the Bearbrick in 2010 right? Or am I thinking of something else? Quote
