Geki Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 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? That's some serious food for thought right there. That would be really awesome. Anyways, I don't think LP would open for Muse. Muse are big in the UK and Europe but in Japan, LP are pretty big. I definitely could see LP opening for Metallica, same goes for Muse. Quote

FearOfTheDuck Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 EVERYONE opens for Metallica. I don't even remember the last time they were an opening act.The last time they were an opener was for the Rolling Stones. That's how big you have to go for them to be support haha. Quote
SOHAIL_Lq Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 A day will come when LP'll be headliner Quote
Geki Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 EVERYONE opens for Metallica. I don't even remember the last time they were an opening act. That's essentially what I was saying. I'm not a Metallica fan at all but I understand. I was saying I don't think LP would/should ever open for Muse. Quote
hahninator Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 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.

Yeah for sure but it's weird they'd get Muse to headline a day over Linkin Park, but they both have headlined the festival before so I guess they are fair game. And yeah maybe they play a new song in Japan. Huge studio break after Australia perhaps. I bet they'll go back and do the Mall movie music stuff after Australia, hence no tour. But maybe they do tour....we don't know for sure what they'll do yet even though it's sounding like no tour. Quote
ChuckCheese Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 A day will come when LP'll be headliner Lol LP has already headlined this exact festival a couple times, don't worry. I'm all for the debut of a new song during this. Would be awesome. Still a looong way away though. Quote
lgr Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 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. even if they were in the UK, I still don't think LP would open for Muse. big bands (like Metallica) aside, LP are still a pretty consistent headliner over here. I also couldn't imagine LP playing Glastonbury, even Reading/Leeds is starting to look less and less like the sort of festival LP'd be approached for... they're becoming the preserve of rock/metal festivals over here, for old time's sake.

Holy mackerel I can't believe it's been seven years. Maybe they will, but I'm not going to hold my breath. More likely I would think is that Mike will continue doing the hundreds of things he does, and the rest of the band will just chill with their family. Remember that 4/6 of them are dads, a lot of them with little kids. Quote
Skipees Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Mark My Words they're going to play Powerless in Japan, since it was released as a single there. how i didn't think about it before. Quote
hahninator Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I wonder if they'll play a show between Australia and Japan. Quote
RogueSoul Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 Mark My Words they're going to play Powerless in Japan, since it was released as a single there. how i didn't think about it before. Words have been marked. Quote
ChuckCheese Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I wonder if they'll play a show between Australia and Japan. If anything, probably an intimate show somewhere in California. For the millionth time. Quote
hahninator Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Updated with the confirmed dates thanks to MikeShinodaClan. Quote
Skipees Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 so 220 days 'til Powerless live debut lol Quote
FearOfTheDuck Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 That is a really weird lineup... Must be the only festival ever to feature Metallica, Earth Wind & Fire and Carly Rae Jepsen... Quote
Skipees Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) That is a really weird lineup... Must be the only festival ever to feature Metallica, Earth Wind & Fire and Carly Rae Jepsen... maybe the organizers try to bring everyboy in every age. "Family Event". Edited February 28, 2013 by Skipees Quote
lpplus Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 maybe the organizers try to bring everyboy in every age. "Family Event". Imagine someone going to this show with family And Mike say "trying to catch up mother f**ker" Quote
aravind221 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) 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. If they switch emi then finally India will get a show cuz we have a Emi HQ office and every time they distribute Warner sucks !! And warner controlling the band tour their choice of countries will come to an end finally I hope they switch we r poor lads guys sorry we need them once here at least Edited February 28, 2013 by aravind221 Quote
[AndOne] Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 On an interesting side note, Summer Sonic 2006 had Linkin Park headlining after Muse and 10years was the first band on the main stage. Random pop act: Nelly Furtado. Fort Minor was after Arctic Monkeys, pretty weird too ^^ Quote
hahninator Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Muse really exploded with their The Resistance album. That album surely was WAY more successful than A Thousand Suns and LIVING THINGS. I wonder how The 2nd Law did in comparison to LIVING THINGS. Muse certainly has way fucking bigger tours than LP, although LP seems way bigger in Germany where Muse only does 1-2 shows in Germany each tour. That might just be because LP chooses to barely tour anymore though and Muse likes touring. LP in Sunrise and Tampa 2011 brought thousands more than Muse brought a weekend ago to those exact same venues, interestingly enough. Summer Sonic is Japan obviously so it seems Muse might be bigger than LP there now, if they are headlining over LP. I guess they both have their markets and both can easily headline huge international festivals. Quote
