This tribute are going to play this March in one of the biggest arenas in Portugal with Grey Daze (with the new singer), so they are very big, even for a tribute band.
MEO Blueticket - Hybrid Theory & Grey Daze - Tribute a Chester
For example, LP themselves played there back in 2003 Linkin Park Live - 2003.09.09 - Lisboa, Portugal - Linkinpedia and in 2023 I was at the same venue in a festival with Papa Roach and Slipknot.
I'm sorry but they will be kicked out by my fav team (Real Betis AHAHAHHA HA HA ).
UCL finals is one of the most watched sport events (if not the top1) in Europe so this is a highlight in their european career. So happy for them.
Muse played a bunch of other metal and rock festivals in the past, like Nova Rock, Download or festivals like these. Even they have poppier songs like Starlight or Madness, in their catalogue there are bangers like Won't stand down, Stockholm syndrome or Kill or be killed that fit in a metal festival.
Everything is more expensive than then. Bands I've paid around $30 in 2015-2018, now are around 50-60. LP booked for 5M is crazy, but these days there's a bubble around this and is reasonable... In a certain point.
Back in 2017 I was told that headliners in Europe were around 1-2 million, but it depends very much of the band. Big tops like Metallica can easily go up to 3-4M.
I paid around $200 for a 4-day-festival here in Spain, ROck Am Ring/Rock Im park is around $250-300 (w/ camping) for 3 days of shows. 500 for only ONE day is... I don't know what to say.
Some media said that only 1/3 of the 60K tickets were sold when they decided to pull the plug. The lineup was insane, big names everywhere and that must cost pretty much (rumors says that LP and Metallica would get $5 million each for the show).
It's hard to do a personal rank but here I go...
1.- Meteora
2.- Hybrid Theory
3.- A Thousand Suns
4.- From Zero
5.- Minutes to Midnight
6.- Living Things
7.- The Hunting Party
8.- One More Light
It's based more on finding myself listening songs from an specific album rather than an album quality by itself.
I am Passport Plus and the LPU Pit at Frankfurt (GER) was available at the time i entered the pre-sale, but there was not enough tickets to buy for me and my friends so I had to buy right the next area.
It will be the same announcement of Resurrection Fest's side shows (aka Route Resurrection). People say that it will be Sabaton or Electric Callboy arena shows for 2026. Resurrection already said that they're not americans and will be arena shows for 2026.
In your LPU profile must be a presale code (if it isn't there don't worry, it will appear). When the presale starts go to the ticket website and enter the code, you will get a spot in the virtual queue to purchase your tickets.
I know, but they have a very limited budget. Mad cool is like x10-20 bigger. This festival is ruled by "people" (not a big promoter) and Mad cool has LiveNation resources. And Resurrection cannot fight with bigger festivals like Wacken or Hellfest, They're playing in a higher league.
Resurrection fest tried to negotiate with LP management last Sept at their O2 show in London, there are pictures of their booking agent at the show but I don't know if it went right or wrong.
In 2022 Mad Cool had Metallica, Thrice, Placebo, Muse, Deftones, Fever333 and few more rock names.
Resurrection is a small festival, it doesn't have the budget to get a big name like LP and fill the rest of their lineup.
So no spanish stadium... Mad cool is terrible bad connected to Madrid and the new festival grounds is shame... I was hoping for a headlining show, not a festival..
So this is only the North American tour announcement right?
The european tour is yet to be announced and Download UK will reveal the full lineup in 7h from now
Correct, and they also have to fit everything in the time the promoter gives to them because the curfew, you can't add a song if they exceed the scheduled time. If you watch the full recordings of this tour, all the shows are exactly around 2hours, maybe a minute above it.
Because they have to sync all the lights, screens and make the all the music sound good, that involves all the backing tracks and live instruments, and all of this is hard to make it right in a couple of weeks.
So Ego Kill Talent will open for Linkin Park at Sao Paulo shows
