hahninator Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 It's been seven years and finally Linkin Park is confirmed to return to Chile in May 2017! The last show by the band in Chile was during the A Thousand Suns World Tour at the Maquinaria Festival - to date, this was their only show in the country. Linkin Park will play Santiago's Movistar Arena on May 9th, 2017 with Rise Against! Who is going? With shows in Argentina, Peru, Chile, and Brazil, this should fill out the full South American Tour for Linkin Park. This will be the most countries they have ever played in the band's career in South America on one tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkInThePark Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Wait, did I read this correctly? They have Rise Against as their Special Guest?? Thats weird.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifeijo Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) I feel like there's room to one more south american show. But i guess they wont do it. Brazil could have another one, but maybe they come back at RIR. Edited December 19, 2016 by vinifeijo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Yep Rise Against. "Chile - We are coming back to Santiago on May 9th, 2017 at the Movistar Arena with special guest Rise Against." Pretty cool, they were great at the two 2015 shows I saw. I think that's it for South America. One week and four shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With South America in May, Europe in June/July, I think they will tour in US in August till September and maybe Austrailia or Asia somewhere in fall.

RentEznor Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 No more SA dates? I hoped for more suprises, like Colombia, Venezuela or even Ecuador, but sadly isn't the case. Now likely they will focus on all of those cancelled US shows, Asia, Africa (who knows) and Australia/New Zeland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonardoMF93 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) What an amazing tour! 4 shows in 4 different countries! For the second time we can say Linkin Park will be touring in South America. 2004: one show in Brazil 2010: one show in Brazil, Argentina and Chile 2012: four shows in Brazil and one in Argentina 2014: two shows in Brazil 2016: one show in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru Something we sould have a look is the sale numbers. We will have a sould out concert in Peru and the "half-price tickets" (dedicated to students and professors) in Brazil are already sould out in this first wave after 2 hours of sales. After this numbers, I think we can say that we'll have a South American Tour every tour cycle. For me the worst thing about this tour is the fact that Brazil will have only one concert. It's a huge country and it is one of the biggest fan base in the world. I hate the clause of exclusivity used by the Brazilian festivals that does not allow the band to play in another state of the country in the same year. Well, let's rock South America!

RickLPL Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 We all saw this one coming after Lorenzo's tweets. Great news though! Btw Do you guys think we will get one last studio update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkin_boss Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I just came back to say... woooooooohoooooooo . I'll be going, hopefully I'll leave a couple of live updates. it's been a long wait to see them here again, and its awesome that finally they'll headline their own show here. my wait was a tad bit shorter just because I went to argentina 2012, but there's no place like home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliss Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Wait, did I read this correctly? They have Rise Against as their Special Guest?? Thats weird..Why is that weird? They "went on tour" together in the US. If anything I'd be surprised that Rise Against would want to play with LP again after what happened, but that means Rise Against is understanding of the situation. As they are both two of my top 5 favorite bands of all time, I would argue they definitely fit together musically and share a lot of common fans.
