It has been a long time coming as tomorrow night August 3rd, 2013, Linkin Park will be returning to the stage to headline the Sunset Strip Music Festival in West Hollywood, California. As stated, this will Linkin Park's last and final performance in the United States for the rest of this year, they promise. The Sunset Strip Music Festival is home to some of the Linkin Park's (Xero and Hybrid Theory's) original concerts including perfomances at the Roxy Theatre, House of Blues, Whisky A Go-Go, Key Club and Viper Room. It has been almost 5 months since Linkin Park's last performance in Perth, Australia at the Soundwave Festival. What will Linkin Park be bringing to the stage for this homage concert? The band has been recently promoting the concert with band-made posters using their previous band names Xero and Hybrid Theory. Does this mean fans will get the rare chance of hearing pre-Linkin Park era music live? Perhaps, Linkin Park will finally kick off the live premieres of new LIVING THINGS songs as the start to the upcoming LIVING THINGS Asia Tour. Post your own speculation here in the LPA Forums!

Great game. I don't expect many, if any, surprises from this show. But, hopefully someone records this is nice quality just in case.
I want a PS3 so I can play The Last of Us. Oh..... shit, this thread is about an LP concert. I hope they play Powerless. I wish I had a PS3
Im guessing there might be some rarities or old songs, since this place is so connected to theyre starting days.
To be honest, this tour may be their last chance to even play more songs from LIVING THINGS before their next album. You'd think they'd want to play more songs off the album.
Yeah, this would be their last chance. I'm a bit disappointed that they haven't played that many new songs as opposed to the other album cycles. That said, I have some faith that we might see another song finally appear live during the upcoming Asia tour. My bet is for Powerless since it has a music video and had been released as a promotional single in Japan, if I'm not mistaken. Since this show is like a throwback to the early LP days, they might just play the popular ones.
Yes. Except I'm not there. I don't know the exact procedures for transportation though. Also, the mastermind Astat has found a POTENTIAL webcast: http://ktla.com/breaking-news/#axzz2ay4sUqVB It's showing LP's stage!
OH BABY! LEZZ GO! (Benja Canada speak, sorry.) SETLIST: A Place For My Head (2012 Intro; Ext. Outro) Papercut Given Up (Ext. Outro w/ Extra Note) New Divide With You (2012 Ext. Intro; Ext. Scratch Outro) Somewhere I Belong (2012 Intro) LIES GREED MISERY Points Of Authority Waiting For The End (Apaches Intro w/ 'UNTIL IT BREAKS' rap; Wall of Noise Outro) Breaking The Habit CASTLE OF GLASS LOST IN THE ECHO (2012 Intro) Numb (Outro 'Numb/Encore' lyrics tease (Mike/Chester)) What I've Done BURN IT DOWN In The End Bleed It Out (Ext.

This show was a warmup show for the upcoming Asia Tour. - This show was promoted by many Xero and Hybrid Theory fashioned posters that involved the guys to hand out posters on the street. This is because the Sunset Strip is where many of their first shows were played. - The band came on stage 10 minutes late. - Chester messed up the lyrics to the 2nd chorus of 'New Divide'. - Chester and Mike talked about their past on the Sunset Strip before 'LIES GREED MISERY'. - Mike rapped the verse two of 'UNTIL IT BREAKS' over the intro of 'Waiting For The End'. - Chester said "I love you" to the crowd after 'Breaking The Habit' due to the crowd screaming it at him. - Mike and Chester sang a tease of 'Numb/Encore' at the end of 'Numb'. - Mike rapped verse one of 'Reading My Eyes' over the bridge of 'Bleed It Out'. Other Notes: - KTLA 5 livestreamed the concert up until midway through 'CASTLE OF GLASS'. Doug Kolk was there to film a news package. - Chester, Mike and Joe watched Awolnation's set from side stage. Mike actually came out on stage while the band played!
