hahninator Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It seems like Linkin Park will finally return to New Zealand in 2013! "Linkin Park have announced one Auckland show, in the first of what could be a wave of bands tagging New Zealand shows onto appearances at Australia's Soundwave Festival. The multi-award winning band will play at Vector Arena on February 21 next year as part of their Living Things world tour. It will be the American band's first trip to New Zealand since they played to a sold-out Vector Arena in 2007. Linkin Park - Living Things World Tour: February 21, 2013 - Vector Arena Auckland Tickets on sale September 7 from Ticketmaster. My Live Nation pre-sales start on August 31." Linkin Park sold out two shows in a row in Auckland in 2007 (show pages here and here) to start their Minutes To Midnight Australia & New Zealand Tour. Two shows in Auckland were rumored for December 2010 but the band didn't end up stopping in New Zealand on their 2010 Australian Tour. LP first played in Auckland in 2001 and then didn't return until 2007, so this will be their fourth show there. This show will fall before the band goes to Australia for the 2013 Soundwave Festival, which starts on February 23 in Brisbane. PS: Our 2013 tour page is coming soon! Source here. Thanks to marzo23 for the heads up! Who's going? EDIT: Confirmed by Linkin Park on LP.com. "Linkin Park will be heading to New Zealand and Australia in February and March. On February 21, they'll be playing at Vector Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. They'll then head to Australia for Soundwave Festival." 2013 Tour Dates: 21.02.2013 Auckland, NZ, Vector Arena 23.02.2013 Brisbane, QLD, RNA Showgrounds 24.02.2013 Sydney, NSW, Olympic Park 01.03.2013 Melbourne, VIC, Flemington Racecourse 02.03.2013 Adelaide, SA, Bonython Park 04.03.2013 Perth, WA, Claremont Showground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AusNeil Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well I got my SW tickets and no doubt AJ is cooking up a sweet Sidewave for LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narc85 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Expecting there'll probably be Sidewave shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne - especially when you consider how quickly Soundwave sold out in those territories. AJ has already said no Sidewaves in either Perth or Adelaide (which sucks), but alas, I'll be touring the country anyway so will snap up any shows they can dish out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishi Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) I hope the next announcement be the South american tour Edited August 23, 2012 by Danishi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusNeil Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Each city has over 400,000 tickets. Sold in 1 day. AJ (tour promoter) has already convinced Travis Barker to get over his fear of flying and is coming to Australia, then gotten them into a sideshow in Brisbane so really hope LP get one...

Astat Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The timing of these shows doesn't bode well for there being a U.S. arena tour this time around...if HCT winds up being the only time they tour the U.S. in support of this album, that's a load of bullshit.

marzo23 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 and now they will come back to argentina http://www.linkinpark.com/profiles/blogs/l...-in-argentina-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiore told me in Uncasville they are doing another USA tour in 2013 before they end the album cycle. Also in a recent interview Chester said they'd do South America, South Africa, Australia, Europe, Asia and the US one more time before they go back to the studio. So I expect another US tour for LIVING THINGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sckofelng Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Stone Sour are supporting LP at this show, people of New Zealand, get your butts there, this will be both bands rocking the fuck out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
