Exclusive: Linkin Park Announce Huge World Tour & Fan Contest! (April Fools’ Day Post)

We were invited to the top secret rehearsals for the upcoming Linkin Park world tour
Linkin Park's newest single "Burn it Down" will hit radios on April 16 with the new album following this summer and, as always, the guys are stepping up their game for the new album cycle. Responding to numerous fan requests, an extensive world tour is planned, with much requested stops in Lusaka (Zambia), Hazaribagh (India), Peapack-Gladstone (USA) and Bourscheid (Luxembourg).
The tour is set to start in Los Angeles and will take the band into record-breaking 5,937 cities all over the world!
Mike Shinoda:
"We got so many requests throughout the years and were never really able to fulfil them, but this year we decided, that we wanted to play every city with LP fans, even if we play in front of 3 people! We will probably start recording the next album as soon as we finish this tour in 2016."
Their gig in the Taklamakan Desert will be even broadcasted by the Disney Channel and released on DVD in late 2013. A full list of all cities can be viewed
here.
The upcoming world tour will also get a brand new look. According to tour manager Jim Digby, the band will perform on six stages, one for every member, and for the first time ever, there will be dancers and circus performers supporting the band.
Brad Delson, who will be supervising the acrobats' training, told us: ...
Fan Review: Special “The Raid: Redemption” Screening for Linkin Park Underground With Mike Shinoda

by

March 21, 2011 I attended the screening of the movie which Mike Shinoda and Joe Trapanese scored on, "The Raid". I was so nervous! Adam from LPUHQ had said that Mike was going to be there and I instantly got my tickets, 'cause I mean, come on! Mike Shinoda was going to be there! So I arrived with my brother-in-law, who's a big fan as well, and gave the tickets to Adam. I'll admit, he's pretty cute hehe. I wasn't sure if we had to show the LPU laminate to authenticate that we really are LPU members so I asked him if we needed to show it and took out my laminate. He said, " No, that's fine but now I know for sure." Being the anxious, shy person I am, I blushed like crazy at that little interaction with Adam hehehe.
So then my brother sees that they're filming us. I automatically think it's Mark but I saw him again that night and it wasn't him. So then my brother says, "Smile for the camera." and I just laugh and look into the camera.
So after that we go inside where the seats are and completely miss the reserved seats. If I had known I would've sat right behind them but oh well. My brother-in-law and I end up sitting 4 rows down the front next to two girls that were pretty loud but nonetheless awesome for being LPUers haha.

Stop Kony? Who the F*** is Kony???
In case you've asked yourself this, cause you've seen the name "Kony" float around the web during the last hours, you asked the right question! The answer is in this video, and I strongly recommend you watch the whole thing, because there is some really important information in it. Also, it's only 30 minutes, not 3 hours, so I bet you'll survive focussing your attention on this video for a while....
