Linkin Park heading to Japan in November

[hahninator]

H.I.P. has confirmed that Linkin Park will be touring Japan in November. Mike has also just added on KROQ that the band has a full Asian Tour booked for this year.

 

Stay tuned for more information as dates will be released soon. Linkin Park's last visit to Japan was for Summer Sonic 2013, but the last time they headlined anything besides a festival was for A Thousand Suns in September 2011. It has been a long time coming.

3/7 EDIT: This page says that the dates will be announced in April. @LinkinPark_JPN adds that it will be in the middle of the month.

I will also be in Japan again in November. I wonder if the timing will be right...

Hope that Hong Kong is included in the tour, might also go to Japan for the show!

Hong Kong brings huge crowds for LP. It's a shame they didn't get a 2015 show for THP Tour. I hope they can find a balance like Metallica did, where they can play both China and Hong Kong.

 

It's time for India to get a show.

Bumping this because Linkin Park Japan and the promoter have said the announcement will come in Mid-April.

Band will be in Japan next week. Looks like that's when they'll be announced.

I wonder when they will announce another concerts on their Asia tour

[FLAME-XIII]

another censored shows?

[Coizu]

another censored shows?

Are... are you serious? You know that China and Japan are two different countries?

[FLAME-XIII]

I think if Mike has said about full Asian tour, then they will come to China...or not

[hahninator]

"Mercedes-AMG will also sponsor the band’s tour across Asia again."

So it will be a bigger tour than only 10 shows I would say

[RickLPL]

yeah no LPU M&G again

[marzo23]

Now over 4 months we know that LP will play in Tokyo but nothing about other dates ?!? o.O That is mysterious!

[hahninator]

Basically, they're still discussing with LP what the plan is for the tour...if they cancel or not. https://twitter.com/HIPpresents/status/892690114542948354That's the statement from today.

Chester's death was so sudden and unexpected, and tragic, that the band really has had no time to think about anything, most likely. Mike and the rest of the band seem very broken by it and it's only been a short amount of time. They also had tons of touring ahead for this album since it just came out, so it's probably very hectic for them to change or cancel all of it, probably even some stuff we didn't even know about.

I can't imagine they'll end up playing these shows. If they continue as a live band it's going to require a pretty lengthy regrouping period, which I'm sure will culminate in some type of public re-introduction of the band. They're not going to schedule anything else in support of OML after everything that's happened, so I just don't see the point in them going out of their way to throw something together for 3 shows just to honor a commitment.
