LINKIN PARK Set Aside Concert Tickets For U.S. Servicemen

April 3, 2003

LINKIN PARK will be kicking off their second annual Projekt Revolution tour on April 8th in Rochester, New York — and as a special nod to U.S. servicemen and women and their families, the band are inviting them to come as their guests to shows in cities nearest their bases.

"We feel the need to give back to these making personal sacrifices for our country," said guitarist Brad Delson in a statement. "So, we've set aside tickets in every city we're playing to invite armed-services personnel and their families to attend the shows for free."
