RogueSoul Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) From the Linkin Park Twitter: "We're heading back to Japan in August to play Summer Sonic. Looking forward to it." Linkin Park will be performing at the annual Summer Sonic festival in August 2013 for the third time (2006 and 2009 being the previous times). Based on the Summer Sonic Site, other bands playing are Metallica (who will be headlining the Soundwave Festival later this year), Muse, and The Stone Roses. While dates are not 100% confirmed by LP or Summer Sonic, the venues are listed below, including a possible show at Sonic Mania on August 13th. When details are confirmed, we will update the thread! Aug 10 or 11: QVC Makuhari Messe & Marine Field, Chiba City, Japan Aug 10 or 11: Maishima Summer Sonic Osaka Site, Osaka, Japan Aug 13: Makuhari Messe, Chiba City, Japan (Sonic Mania) Metallica, Muse and Linkin Park - wow! Feb 28, 2013 EDIT: Thanks to MikeShinodaClan, the dates have been confirmed with an event poster. Linkin Park will open for Metallica as expected on the following dates at Summer Sonic: 10.08.2013: QVC Makuhari Messe & Marine Field, Chiba City, Japan 11.08.2013: Maishima Summer Sonic Osaka Site, Osaka, Japan EDIT: And now it is confirmed by both LinkinPark.com and SummerSonic.com.

maik_gianino Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Damn you're flash! I think they will play on August 13. Because Metallica and Muse close the events on 10th and 11th. Edited January 24, 2013 by maik_gianino Quote
ChuckCheese Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 That is a very very nice choice of headliners. Quote
RogueSoul Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Damn you're flash! I think they will play on August 13. Because Metallica and Muse close the events on 10th and 11th. I started as soon as they tweeted it I think they're all playing the three shows (maybe Summer Sonic After too) That is a very very nice choice of headliners.Couldnt agree more! Quote
daniel624 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Great headliners this year!! Hope that more shows will be added for an Asia Tour. Quote
Dave-Stone55 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Anything that has Muse and Linkin Park in the same lineup is epic as fuck, as these two are my favorite bands Quote
hahninator Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Asia - last stop on the LT World Tour? Europe in May/June? Quote
marzo23 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Asia - last stop on the LT World Tour? Europe in May/June? Or they will do an euro-tour after this in september/october as arena-tour. but if they do a may/june tour in europe, we will know this in the next weeks. in germany the tickets will buy ~4 months before the shows.

maik_gianino Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Agree with Mark, remember guys that the band is working in the Score for the Mall movie and maybe Shinoda will start to work on The Raid 2. Quote
alexbism Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Agree with Mark, remember guys that the band is working in the Score for the Mall movie and maybe Shinoda will start to work on The Raid 2. There is gonna be a Raid 2 ? Quote
ChuckCheese Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah, there's gonna be a sequel. Interesting info: The band's work on the Mall soundtrack counts as an album under Warner, thus it should end their contract. Quote
SOHAIL_Lq Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 chiba marine stadium,japaneese crowd is awesome Quote
maik_gianino Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 There is gonna be a Raid 2 ? Yes will be Called: Berandal. Check the link: http://collider.com/raid-2-sequel-berandal...etails-filming/ Quote
Geki Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Mall will be WAY more epic than The Raid, IMO. I can't wait for it. I didn't think it was actually going to come out but apparently it is since the band is working on as a whole. And also, I think it's awesome that LP is playing Summer Sonic once again. 2006 SS was epic, 2009 SS was awesome, I hope this is a mix of both. They should play Qwerty in full at this show, the 06 version, not the PR 07 version. Quote
Coizu Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Interesting info: The band's work on the Mall soundtrack counts as an album under Warner, thus it should end their contract. People still think they want to end their contract with Warner? Quote
LinkinMark Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I'm pretty sure Mike said that he will NOT be working on the sequel to The Raid. I like Summer Sonic shows. The previous ones have been good so I expect this one will be too...and hopefully we'll get some videos. Quote
Pez Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Interesting, thats now 2 tours this year which LP will be on the road with Metallica.

I dont think they'll leave. Quote
marzo23 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Interesting, thats now 2 tours this year which LP will be on the road with Metallica. I dont think they'll leave. They also played in 2012 a few times at the same festivals. Rock in Rio, Rock im Park, Rock am Ring, Nova Rock Quote
[AndOne] Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 People still think they want to end their contract with Warner?Yes...Actually people want them to want to leave Warner lol. Quote
RogueSoul Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 Actually people want them to want to leave Warner lol.If they do, I hope they don't switch to EMI. All the live videos on the internet (Full Shows, Proshots, and DSPs) are screwed. Quote
hahninator Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I would think LP would do their own independent thing next since they are such a successful band. Quote
RogueSoul Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 LOL THEY ADDED CARLY RAE JEPSEN TO THE LINEUP Quote
Geki Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 LOL THEY ADDED CARLY RAE JEPSEN TO THE LINEUP Mike is gonna come out and join her on Call Me Maybe. Quote
hahninator Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 It looks like for the first time, LP won't be headlining one of the days. They will either be playing right before Muse or right before Metallica. Metallica is what I would assume since I don't think LP would agree to play before Muse at a festival lol, since LP probably believes (and rightly so) that they and Muse are at a very similar status in the world and are both too big to play before one another, if that makes sense.

The only way I could see LP opening for Muse would be if it was at a big festival in England like Reading or Glastonbury, stuff like that. Muse are basically considered gods over there. I'd say Japan is a pretty neutral ground for both bands though. Also, food for thought: LP's playing Summer Sonic in the middle of August, after what's looking like it'll be at least a couple months off from touring, and we know they're going back into the studio a bit later this year. With these 2 shows likely being "on an island" between the end of this touring cycle and album #6, could we see a second new song debuted 7 years (SEVEN YEARS?! My god.) after QWERTY?
