Presale Tickets Available Through LinkinPark.com

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - November 15, 2010) - Through their official website (www.linkinpark.com) LINKIN PARK has announced dates for their US tour, kicking off January 20th in Sunrise, Florida. Supporting Linkin Park on various dates on the cross continent trek are The Prodigy, Pendulum and Does It Offend You, Yeah?

Tickets to the general public will begin going on sale Saturday, November 20 but fans can go to www.linkinpark.com to learn how to get their tickets beginning immediately through a special offering on the band's web site.

Prior to the 2011 US tour -- which will be the band's first since 2008, they completed a highly-acclaimed, sold-out tour of Europe which garnered rave reviews. Touring in support of their recently released album, A Thousand Suns, which debuted on top of the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, Linkin Park's live show is a celebration of sound and vision -- a transformative multi-media experience that befits the power of the music. The press has been buzzing about the most recent shows in Europe. The UK's Guardian says, "The stage is decked out with giant screens, but it's low and reaches right into the arena, giving simultaneous impressions of a spectacle and being 'one with the fans,'" and London's Evening Standard called the band's 2 night sold-out stand at the O2 Arena, "exhilarating."

The tour's set list combines the biggest hits of the band's career, as well as material from the new album, which has been described as a psychedelic journey that explores the conflict between technology and humanity. 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."

Linkin Park was just voted 'Best Live Act' at the 2010 MTV European Music Awards. As a special "thank you" to concert goers, included as a bonus with the purchase of every ticket, fans 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 purchased 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.

Joining Linkin Park on tour will be UK legends, The Prodigy opening the show from February 15th through 26th. Pendulum and Does It Offend You, Yeah? will be kicking off the tour on January 20th thru February 11th.

Fuck...
Linkin Park probably is one of the worst guitar band ever! ;/

I have to agree with Psho7. Linkin Park pretty much sucks IMO =/

But hey, "we" might be able to convert some of their fans to the Prodigy side n_n

The Prodigy playing second fiddle to some shitty rock band like Linkin Park? Nah mate, this is wrong.

In one way it's awesome that The Prodigy will be able to play for that many people in that short period of time in The States. Also, they will blow Linkin Park off the stage every night so that's also cool. But I hate the thought of one of the best bands ever being an opener for a radio rock/mtv darling such as Linkin Park. But props to Linkin Park for choosing The Prodigy.

I get what your saying, it should be Linkin Park supporting the Prodigy if anything.

The worst could be that they play some new tunes at new album of The Prodigy, God save us from that collab...

Its the Prodigy way though! Step foot on someone else's turf, chew it up and spit it out

Just hope they find time to do a couple of UK dates during the writting process and give us a taster of some new material!

Linkin Park = shite

Prodigy takin' it to the Yanks and showing them how the UK rolls = priceless

Nuff said.

I'm confused over this one, for instance will they play first, yes i would think.. then how long? the sets of imd were an hour or bit more so i guess a new tune or two to be tested. An hour at most, with 'omen' being the highlight the prodigy are so much more than that tune, it sums up the new but also so misunderstood like the whole prodigy underground.

I like Linkin Park's debut album but since then they have released some substandard ligtweight rock music since then.

What a strange tour, I think it's a bad idea for Linkin Park to have such an intense band on before hand as it's going to be all downhill atter the prodge.

Prodge will probably play for 45 minutes. I can't imagine any new tunes being aired.

I dunno, worked for Oasis

i am supposed to be upset prodigy is a second name to linkin park in the tour, but hey liam made a jay-z remix, lesser of two evils

*waits for linkin prodigy & prodigy linkin remixes hey what ?!

Well they're not playing at the Montreal show so I guess I miss out on this one too. Ya, can't imagine staying for LP after seeing The Prodigy but I also can't imagine The Prodigy being on stage for like only an hour. I'd still have went, though.
