RogueSoul Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Linkin Park will be headlining this year's Amnesia Rockfest in Montebello, Quebec, Canada. The festival takes place between June 18 and June 21 and Linkin Park will headline night one on June 19th. System Of A Down will also headline on another day of the festival. This will the band's first time performing at the festival and their first performance in Montebello. Since the shows in Hamilton, Saskatoon, Calgary, and Edmonton were cancelled due to Chester's leg injury, this will be the band's first performance in Canada this year! The Amnesia Rockfest is considered the biggest rock festival in Canada, and this will be it's 10th anniversary (it began in 2005). Other artists performing at the festival include The Offspring (performing their album Americana), Deftones, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Tenacious D, and many more. Who's planning on attending? In a recent LPU Chat, Mike revealed that more show announcements will be coming soon and the band is booked for the rest of the year (which is why they haven't rescheduled the Winter North American Tour). Read a summary of the chat on MikeShinodaClan.com here. The band will likely not perform on June 18th, as they are rumored to be playing the Live Earth concert on June 18, but the festival FAQ says that the festival will be mainly held on June 19th and 20th anyway. Other rumors for festival shows include New Jersey and Kansas. Check out an outline for Linkin Park's rumored touring schedule for the rest of the year here.

[AndOne] Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Impressive line up! but who the hell is Sharpie Man? lmao Deftones are also performing Around The Fur Quote
hahninator Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Holy lineup. Deftones playing Around The Fur in full, and lots of gems here. Is this the first Thrice comeback show? I've been following them and haven't seen them announce anything yet, wow. Big news. Gogol Bordello, so good. Story Of The Year, wow. Huge fan of this lineup. Quote
Catalyst619 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Since the two shows in Calgary and Edmonton were cancelled due to Chester's leg injury, this will be the band's first performance in Canada this year! Shows in Hamilton and Saskatoon were canceled as well. Quote
hahninator Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 So...no Live Earth this time? Live Earth is on June 18th, the day before LP plays. Seems likely they'll play, especially since Live Earth will have a northeast USA event. Quote
RogueSoul Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Lots of bands performing full versions of their albums, wow. Would be an interesting opportunity to whip out HT again. Quote
GlassCastles Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 They should do RECHARGED in full. Quote
hahninator Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 They probably asked LP to do an album in full (who wouldn't? since so many others are doing it) and likely couldn't come up with the cash for it. I'm sure whatever LP got from Download was insane. Quote
abrandnewname Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Wow, very amazing lineup. Really surprised seeing Thrice on there! Quote
Justin Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Lots of bands performing full versions of their albums, wow. Would be an interesting opportunity to whip out HT again. No love for Meteora? lol Quote
Chris Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 They should do RECHARGED in full. LPU 8 in full. Quote
GlassCastles Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 LPU 8 in full. That'll be the encore. Quote
hahninator Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 FYI we changed the date of this to June 20 instead of June 19 since LP plays at midnight. Quote
