Produced by Live Nation and partnered with Major League Baseball, "Halo 3" for Xbox 360, Monster Energy Drink, etnies and NowWhat.com, Projekt Revolution is a unique tour experience that merges a variety of music styles personally selected by the band. "I couldn't be happier with the group of artists joining us on Projekt Revolution this summer..." says co-vocalist Chester Bennington. "Linkin Park is thrilled to be joined by this amazing group of artists and I know the audience will share in our excitement." Previous Projekt Revolution alumni include Korn, Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, Xzibit, Mudvayne, Adema, Blindside and DJ Z-Trip.
Projekt Revolution and Music For Relief have been working hard at making this event an environmentally conscious effort. Besides making the tour a "Green" tour, Projekt Revolution and Music For Relief will be donating $1 from each ticket to give to American Forests for their Global ReLeaf program to plant trees to help reduce global temperatures.
This past weekend, Linkin Park performed some of the new tracks from their forthcoming release, "Minutes to Midnight," to a sold-out crowd of 40,000 at the Bamboozle Festival in NJ. Currently, they have the No 1 track at Alternative and Active Rock radio and have sold more than 275,000 downloads to date of the first single, "What I've Done," the catalyst of what is sure to be the year of Linkin Park! Their third studio album, "Minutes to Midnight" (Machine Shop/Warner Bros.), releases May 15.
Linkin Park is Chester Bennington (vocals), Rob Bourdon (drums), Brad Delson (guitar), Joe Hahn (DJ), Dave "Phoenix" Farrell (bass), and Mike Shinoda (vocals). They have earned two Grammy Awards, the first for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2002 with their hit single "Crawling" and the second for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with Jay-Z in 2006 for the innovative "Numb/Encore." Linkin Park has sold 40 million records worldwide since their debut in 2000. The diamond-certified "Hybrid Theory" has alone sold more than 18 million copies. In addition, Linkin Park established Music For Relief in January 2005 to help aid victims of world catastrophes and combat global warming.
