AusNeil Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 The news about Linkin Parks tour down to Australia keeps flooding in with another announcement due very shortly. "We have something epic coming your way..." was posted early yesterday morning on the www.facebook.com/linkinparkaustralia website. I can see this being the announcement of either the opening act or the announcement that Jay-Z will be joining Linkin Park on a show or 2, since he is in Australia at that time with U2. Any other ideas? Quote
hahninator Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Depending what this turns out to be, I'll move it to Newswire accordingly. Gonna wait and see what this is first; might just be a weak opening band announcement or something. Quote
Adam Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 haha no, it has nothing to do with any of that. "epic" might have been the wrong word to use here... haha Quote
LPPRJKT4 Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Depending what this turns out to be, I'll move it to Newswire accordingly. Gonna wait and see what this is first; might just be a weak opening band announcement or something. Watch how that bands up being U2, I'd lol so hard. Quote
Ashwhisker Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Just curious, why is there a separate LP Australia page? Quote
Adam Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Just curious, why is there a separate LP Australia page? no idea. we don't run it. i think wbr aus does. Quote
AusNeil Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 LP has an Aus page for M2M in 07 also... but yeah when U2 wouldnt announce their opening act but they announced they are here in december i was getting really excited cause of all the rumors about LP but yeah... Adam do you know what their announcement is? Quote
mikeatron85 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 surely it's not just them announcing the 2nd melbourne and sydney shows? i haven't checked their page in a few days so not sure if they've already announced it there. and yup, it is run by warner music australia - i know because i won the comp on www.athousandsuns.com.au to fly to london and see them play at the O2 arena!!!

LPxDC Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 probably giving away something. skateboard or deluxe edition Quote

Congrats!! yeah i won the poster cause i was the one who guessed where they will be sending you! ha. take me? Quote
mikeatron85 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Congrats!! yeah i won the poster cause i was the one who guessed where they will be sending you! ha. take me? cheers dude! nice one!!! forgot they had that competition running before it! what poster did you get? i chose to take my bro with me - hoping i don't regret that decision lol (means i'm going to have to be the responsible adult rather than run a muck ) Quote
AusNeil Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 cheers dude! nice one!!! forgot they had that competition running before it! what poster did you get? i chose to take my bro with me - hoping i don't regret that decision lol (means i'm going to have to be the responsible adult rather than run a muck ) Its the BIG A Thousand Suns release poster you see at JB and stuff ALSO the announcement is this http://www.facebook.com/linkinParkAustrali...161942077159108 ANOTHER comp. Design a tour T-Shirt, winner (i assume) shirt is made as official tour shirt, and (confirmed) meets the band. dunno if they go through LPU M&G or they have their own though but still pretty cool comp. WBR Aus are realllllyyy pushing LP this time round. Quote
GingerLP Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Yeah, Ausneil is completely right. id say its like a backstage meeting or LPU sort of thing. Australian has its own page with so many contests and stuff. Quote
mikeatron85 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 oo nice one... might stay out of this comp, don't wanna be selfish! oh and congrats ausneil, those posters look sweet! you'll have to get it signed at a meet and greet! Quote
hahninator Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Surely they'll add New Zealand and maybe even another Aussie date lol Quote
mikeatron85 Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 would be awesome to have them do second shows in all states - but i severely doubt adelaide, perth and maybe even brisbane will be able to sell 2 shows. though from what i'm hearing from the ticket-buying-latecomers... all the good seats are gone already, which must mean they're at least close to selling out?

AusNeil Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 Well Hahninator there is your news. Make what you want of it. Just another Aussie only comp. Quote
Pez Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I got an email about Pre Sale but didnt read it prop, Has presale started? Quote
Ashwhisker Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 no idea. we don't run it. i think wbr aus does. Okay, thanks for the info. Quote
mikeatron85 Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I got an email about Pre Sale but didnt read it prop, Has presale started? yeh pre-sale started today man... i think they only emailed those who'd pre-ordered LPUX for some reason? i got the email and got my melbourne tix. can't do the second sydney show as i'll be heading back to perth that night Quote
