Smarky Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 This touring cycle seems rather small and short, however LP seem to have covered most places, even if it is only the odd show. I'm not sure if people are aware/remember but a preorder bonus in the UK for LIVING THINGS, was "Presale access to the upcoming UK tour", whatever happened to that? I thought the UK has always been pretty much a dead cert for LP at least in recent years, but now it seems to have fallen completely from the radar.

Skipees Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 since we don't have the 6th album release date, european tour in an option in this cycle. it could be after the asia tour. don't worry. yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 It's weird because usually LP always plays England. But somehow there hasn't been a European Tour for LIVING THINGS yet, and lol if there is one it'll be over a year after the CD comes out. Surely they'll do a Euro Tour. Germany with 5-6 shows, England with 3-4, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSoul Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 These guys fucking love Europe, they'll probably end the cycle with a Euro Tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if LP ended the LT cycle in the fall with European dates. Maybe not a huge tour, but definitely will hit the UK, Germany, etc if they do decide on a tour. I hope LP doesn't count the spring/early summer Europe tour part of the ''LIVING THINGS World Tour'' because that would suck for European fans.

Skipees Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) and maybe before Summer Sonic? http://www.purevolume.com/linkinpark/events AUG 02 London, United Kingdom 7:00pm at TBA England the link inside is broken, and i don't know if this site is a good source. but there's show in London, UK 02.08 and the Tokyo and Osaka shows, so.. who knows..

[AndOne] Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 LP announced Summer Sonic 3 months ago. So it would be very very unusual for them to announce a show BEFORE Summer Sonic in the near future. Of course that was so early because it's a festival, so they announced the other shows just now. I'd say something about (at least) 4 months before a show is a normal time frame to announce a big headlining show. There are exceptions to this "rule" of course.

hahninator Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I mean it's entirely possible for sure. Not likely but possible. Portimao 2009 was announced like what, 1.5 weeks before the show? I remember in Graz we asked Pooch if LP was playing Portugal and he said yes, but it wasn't even confirmed by the band until I think the day before the Zurich show. Crazy. They will definitely do a warmup show so Vegas probably will get another show or something lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwerty95k Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I Hope they announce the European Tour soon so i can take time of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I hope that you can get a tour for the next album, i don't want the band to tour anymore, I NEED MORE MUSIC =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipees Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) maybe it's not a "tour", just a few shows in main places. and they don't rush to announce because if it's a small tour it will be probably sold-out. but maybe and probably sometimes worth as nothing.

This is a show they simply squeezed in the last minute because they were able to do it, maybe also mixed with a chaotic festival promoter.

Germany with 5-6 shows, England with 3-4, etc. my thoughts exactly - it's plain odd that they haven't played any non-festival dates in europe after LT's release. also if they do come back to the UK I predict that yes, only england will get shows. they haven't played Cardiff, Edinburgh/Glasgow or Dublin/Belfast in ages...

hahninator Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 It's entirely possible Ireland will get another show in the future. 2003 and 2008 yeah, but that's a place I'd think they would eventually get to sometime, like Italy. It's not on every touring cycle but it'll come sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not on every touring cycle but it'll come sometime. I totally didn't realize that LP didn't get to those places since the MTM tour. It's been a while. It's surprising to me that LP has played South America, Asia and Australia more lately than any of those countries. LP always plays the usual countries every cycle, such as US, UK, Germany and a lot of the times France. I understand that because the band does very well in those places, Adam even told us at the Summit that LP was bigger in Germany than anywhere else in the world, including the US.

Smarky Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 I hope they play Ireland so I can go over and see a show, then I can go chat up an Irish LP girl and cross of two items off my bucket list at the same time An Irish chick and a hardcore LP fan chick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland often misses out on alot of UK bands' tours to be honest, but does LP really not have the money to go there? I know little about Italian tours by bands so cannot comment on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgr Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 bumping by posting this here since I don't want to clog up the Kuala Lumpur announcement thread. I am really disappointed that the band seem to be totally skipping over the UK on the LT schedule. but honestly, i think I'm more surprised by it than anything else. some thoughts: the UK doesn't have a particularly strict work/performance visa policy that is aligned to an extreme political agenda (like, for example, China's) Living Things was number one in the UK album charts, beating Justin Beiber and Maroon 5 - given the strength of the Beiber fanbase, this in incredible accomplishment, particularly when you consider the fact that, in terms of 'compared to Beiber' and 'compared to how big they used to be', LP are nowhere near as "big" in popular, modern culture. Burn It Down was at the top of the UK Rock Singles Chart for ages and in the top 30 in the mainstream Single Charts (peaking at 27) Lies Greed Misery was released via UK radio in that scavenger hunt, so the band are clearly aware of fan interest here, and in particular, fan interest in the new material. from memory, many of the 2012 dates were sold out - they clearly don't make a loss coming to the country. If I remember correctly, wasn't LPU12 sold with membership benefits that included an "upcoming UK and European Tour"? (although given the lack of a European headline tour, I admit, the UK's not the only one with a raw deal here) the lack of any UK dates is ... beyond me. I really can't see any legitimate reason that the band haven't toured with LT in places that have so gladly had them before. shows in places that have never had the band before, or have waited a long time to see them since their last time is brilliant, I can only applaud that, and yes, I understand family commitments on each band member, but not one date? it's disheartening. I could see the band being asked back to do the iTunes festival in Sept, since the promo for the event is still in the "line-up release" stage. fingers crossed, but I'm not hopeful.

lgr Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 yeah but by then you need to renew with LPU50 although maybe they did have something planned at it wasn't announced before something fell through? I'm grasping at straws though, I'd consider this pretty unlikely to have happened since they already had a ton of festival dates lined up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skipees Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) i don't think they had any thoughts to come to UK/Europe in 2013. look at the 2012 page, all the dates in 2012 are too dense, maybe it was planned to come to UK between St. Petersburg to Tokyo? or before Lisboa? maybe the venues wasn't fit to their dates?
