Linkin Park 2013

Multi-award winning rock icons LINKIN PARK are thrilled to announce two sideshows only (Sydney & Melbourne) on the back of the sold out Soundwave Festival.

As part of their Living Things world tour, these shows will surely be two of the biggest international rock shows over the summer of 2013.
 
Since their 2000 debut album ‘Hybrid Theory’, LINKIN PARK have spent the last 12 years doing something popular artists just don’t do:  going off-menu.  The learning curve was arduous, but a necessary and welcome challenge for the band. ‘Hybrid Theory’ isn’t just the title of the first album, but a career mission statement.  From day one, LINKIN PARK built the band upon the premise of fusing all of their favourite styles of music—as disparate as they might be—into one signature sound.

Fast-forward 12 years to ‘Living Things’ and LINKIN PARK have not only developed new tools to make that philosophy a reality, but they’re finally comfortable embracing—and coalescing—every aspect of their career.  Once again they have made the courageous leap into the unknown.  “Living Things” is a personal album, centred on human emotions and relationships implied by the title.  It is informed by and built upon all previous albums, while still pushing the band’s sound into new territory.  It’s spirited, energetic, daring and unafraid to hybridize the past, present and future.  This is absolute proof to a radical theory six musicians have devoted their lives to testing.

Joining LINKIN PARK for this date is STONE SOUR.
