LINKIN PARK's Next 'Projekt Revolution' Aiming For July Start

March 24, 2008

The Pulse of Radio reports that LINKIN PARK is looking at a mid-July start for its next Projekt Revolution tour, vocalist Mike Shinoda has told MTV.com. Shinoda revealed that the group is still lining up bands for the festival-type trek, which will be environmentally-friendly like all of LINKIN PARK's recent excursions. Shinoda said, "More information about the tour will be coming out soon, but we have some great hopes for some bands we want to be on it. We want to follow up last year's tour with something that's cool." Shinoda also mentioned that Projekt Revolution will be headed overseas for the first time, with rap superstar Jay-Z joining the tour on its U.K. stops.

Last year's Projekt Revolution lineup featured MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, TAKING BACK SUNDAY, HIM and others. LINKIN PARK singer Chester Bennington told The Pulse of Radio that the tour aims to present as wide a range of music as possible. "The whole idea behind Projekt Revolution is the fact that we enjoy all different styles of music, and so do our fans," he said. "You know, we also want to be able to share our music with as many people as possible. You know, what better way than to invite groups that aren't necessarily the same style of music out on tour with you, so that, you know, you can get their crowds to come out and see you guys play, too."

LINKIN PARK recently completed a headlining U.S. arena tour in support of last year's double platinum "Minutes to Midnight" album.

The group just filmed an "epic" sci-fi video for a track from the album called "Leave Out All The Rest", in which the band members are portrayed as living on a spaceship traveling through outer space. Like almost all the band's clips, this one was directed by LINKIN PARK DJ Joseph Hahn.
