No way they perform with only two days notice to us lol. But hell, Fort Minor played an awards show and never announced it to anyone. http://lplive.net/fortminor/20060119.php and they also didn't announce this either: http://lplive.net/fortminor/20060125.php

 

But with LP I think they've always announced everything, at least since like 2002 or whatever. Like I don't think we've been surprised with a performance at the last second in a while.

Didn't that happen with the award show in 2007? They played Bleed It Out with the Remix intro & they never announced it. That's what I remember from the show page :P

 

EDIT: This one http://lplive.net/shows/20070909.php

I remember this getting mentioned awhile ago in the shoutbox but I don't think anyone made a thread...

 

According to a Croatian site (Mondo), Linkin Park will be hitting the Kombank Arena in Belgrade, Serbia in May of 2013.

 

If this is true we can probably expect a European Tour in the Spring.

I hope LP does a full tour up until July/August next year and then goes back to the studio to write a new album, like the new news article says. I hope they do a summer US tour to end the cycle, too. We didn't get to see a lot of LT songs this summer in the US which sucks, and I know they will be playing a lot by then.

Some pretty cool and interesting stories in this, thought I would share. Also, for those interested, Chester took the same test last year.

LINKIN PARK’S MIKE SHINODA BECOMES A MENTOR FOR THE GRAMMYS

 

Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda is teaming with the Grammys to become a mentor for up-and-coming artists. The emcee recently attended a press conference at the Conga Room in L.A. to announce his role in the new Centerstage project.

 

As part of his duties, Shinoda will also serve as curator for the Centerstage Powered By Grammy Amplifier program, where he will be heavily involved in selecting the three winning artists who will eventually have a recording session with a Grammy-winning producer. Artists can submit their tracks via SoundCloud and have them heard by a panel that includes Shinoda. The three winners will then get the recording session and hands-on experience with Grammy winners.

 

Shinoda told Rolling Stone that he is excited to be exposed to different styles of music. “If you follow me on Twitter or on Spotify, I’m always posting new things,” he said. “If you go on there right now, you’ll see the variety of music that I’m into. But when it comes to this program, I don’t think it’ll be in any way limited to even that. It’s gonna be bigger than that. I’m looking forward to seeing artists whose style I might not be expected to like catch my ear.”

 

Could an opening act for Linkin Park emerge from this type of process? “Sure,” he said, sharing the story of the Polish DJ Czeslaw Sakowski, who won the right to be on album A Thousand Suns by winning the remix contest for “The Catalyst.” “We put him on our record,” Shinoda said. “That’s the kind of thing that could’ve turned out very badly. All the submissions could’ve sucked, the person could’ve been a nightmare, whatever. A lot of things can go wrong and you have to say in the name of experimenting and the name of innovation you’re gonna put your money where your mouth is and risk it.”

 

Right now, after a heavy cycle of making music that saw three albums in five years and major tours for every album, Linkin Park are exploring other areas of innovation. “We’ve kind of added some areas of focus rather than just thinking about things like touring and records,” he said. “We’ve kind of carved out some space for other projects because our interests have always been very broad, and by devoting some time to those things it stops any and all of us from feeling like we have this pent up desire to dive into other things. We got a handful of other things in the pipeline as well.”

 

This is all from Rolling Stone. Last part is kinda scary, makes it seem like they're not so interested in just making albums and touring anymore. Thoughts?

I like when artists take breaks from recording to do other shit. I don't blame them for not wanting to tour and record in an endless cycle until they're nearly dead. It makes me wonder about Chester's claim of releasing an album every 18 months, but whatever.
