Linkin Park has finally announced details about their first full U.S. tour since 2008. The trek, which comes in support of the new album, A Thousand Suns, will kick off on January 20 in Sunrise, FL. Supporting Linkin Park on various dates will be The Prodigy from February 15 to 26, and Pendulum and Does It Offend You, Yeah? will be the opening acts from January 20 through February 11. Tickets to the general public will begin going on sale on Saturday, November 20, but fans can go to www.linkinpark.com to learn how to get their tickets immediately through a special offer on the band's web site.
The tour's set list will of course combine hits from throughout Linkin Park's career with material from the new album. Lead vocalist Chester Bennington says, "The new songs work really well alongside the older stuff. Plus, there's a strong, powerful message to A Thousand Suns, and we've transferred that into the show. Our aim was that we're not just putting on a live performance, but something that's visually spectacular as well."
As an added bonus, fans who purchase tickets will be able to download a live recording of the show they attended by texting a code from their mobile phones that will be displayed at the venue. Additionally, one dollar for each ticket sold will go to Music For Relief, a charity founded by Linkin Park to provide relief to victims of natural disasters and to bring awareness to solutions to the global warming challenge.
