RogueSoul Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The promo cycle continues! Linkin Park are starting promo across Europe this week, beginning in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for an intimate event with Chester and Mike. Mike and Chester will be at the Melkweg today, March 24, in Amsterdam at 3:00PM. The event is dubbed "Up Close with Chester and Mike from Linkin Park: One More Light," so we're expecting a few things. First and foremost, it seems like this event will largely be some form of Q&A session. The event was open only to contest winners who filled out a forum, and one of the criteria was a question for Mike and Chester to answer. There's more than just that, though. A similar event going on in Paris, France next week promises an intimate acoustic session mixed with a Q&A, so we can definitely assume that a couple songs will be performed at this event! Linkin Park are gearing up to start playing a few more stripped down versions of songs, as we've seen in the last few promo appearances. There's quite a few songs they can choose from when considering what song's they've already played: 'Crawling,' 'Burn It Down,' and 'Heavy' which all debuted at the Facebook Live event, and even new songs from One More Light including 'Talking To Myself' and 'One More Light,' clips of which we have seen from the Warner Bros Records Party. There are likely plenty more songs that Mike and Chester could play in this fashion, but we'll have to wait and see what they are. What to expect: Mike and Chester played this piano version of 'Heavy' last week while doing promo in Toronto, Canada. Since it's just them two, it's pretty likely that any songs they perform will be piano versions just like this one. What songs that haven't already been played in this way would you want to see? A slow track like 'My December,' or perhaps a ballad version of 'A Place For My Head'? Don't say the latter. It was a joke. EDIT: It appears that a livestream will be taking place tomorrow at 4:00PM CET, around the time when event will be starting. It seems possible that the livestream may be of this performance. In any case, the band will go live from their Facebook page - here's a countdown so you don't miss it (and check your timezones here). Whether or not it is an independent event or the same one, check back here for updates. This string of European promo performances precede the band's big performance at the ECHO Awards in Berlin, Germany on April 6. Next Monday, March 27, Mike and Chester will be doing an event just like this one in Paris. All of these performances are still about a week and a half away from when the band will perform at the award show, and it feels pretty weird for the band to be showing up in multiple countries now instead of closer to the date of the ECHO Awards. We can definitely expect some more promo performances around Europe, perhaps in England, Spain, and so on in the coming weeks. Maybe even some sort of secret club show will happen and we'll see the band's first full show on stage since 2015! Anything is possible at this point. Who's going to the show? We've already secured a couple of fans via Twitter and Facebook who will keep us updated, so if you want to contribute and help us get info about the show, be sure to follow us there and message us when you can! Make sure to stay here so that you don't miss any info about the show. Check out the rest of Linkin Park's 2017 touring schedule here.

Tyleronlplive Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 How long do these radio promo cycles normally last, if that's even a thing? They won't have much time for a club tour if this continues, but I'm not really counting on a club tour happening at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJ Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Really disappointed I didn't win, this looks like an awesome event plus its really close to where I live. Luckily we get a live stream, so we get to see some performances I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 If you didn't win, just go to the venue and see if you can get in. No club tour. Mike and Chester are just doing a few dates across Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igussek Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 and also Crawling. Weird that they said "New material" and played nothing new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 They were probably referring to Heavy when they said "new". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSoul Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 For the first time in a decade, 'Crawling' live actually sounded better than WID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzo23 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I have a super hard time understanding the European time zones. The British Summer Time or whatever throws a big twist in it lol C'mon Mark!!

mrfox Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Wonder wtf is with his voice he can barely sing in What I've Done, his voice cracks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 What I've Done didn't really come off well. The others are fine. Maybe swap WID for BTH, which has been played in piano form already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
