The LPUnderground has sent out their Meet & Greet confirmation emails for a few shows already. For those of you who are unaware, the Meet & Greets are being done just a little bit differently than before. There are still two members of Linkin Park at the Meet & Greet, and there are still a low number of LPU'ers allowed in. However, the new thing they are really pushing this year is that you have to respond within 24 hours to the M&G email in order to "confirm" your spot. This process weeds out those that have won and will not be able to attend, essentially.

If you are going to a show and applied to a M&G, look for an email from:
lpumeetandgreets@gmail.com

Confirmation emails have been sent out for the following shows as of this posting:
-19th July; İstanbul, Turkey @ İstanbul Park (Rock'n Coke Festival)
-21st July; Athens, Greece @ Terra Vibe Park
-23rd July; Graz, Austria @ Stadthalle

Has anyone won one yet?

According to official Festival Rock One website: http://www.rockone.festivaispt.org/

Linkin Park will be playing on August 5th, 2009 at the festival. The show is now fully confirmed for those of you who were unsure of it previously.

Stay tuned for the announcement on LP.com (I assume shortly).

Rockerrazzi has an interview with Joe about Linkin Park's upcoming tour starting Sunday in Turkey, pre-gig rituals and LP's legacy, check out the video here.

Julien-K fans...the band will be on LAGenX on Saturday July 18th! The show is at 11:00am PDT(2pm EDT) and the segment will air at about 11:20-11:25. Follow the links below to where the show will be aired online:

For those of you who have got Blu Ray players, you can now purchase the Blu Ray version of RTR from Amazon!

According to LPLive, Linkin Park should be set to play Festival Rock One in Portimão, Portugal on August 5th. The festival is four days long, stretching from August 5th to August 8th and will be held at the Algarve International Motor Park.

Nothing is totally confirmed yet as far as we know, so DO NOT buy tickets until the show has officially been announced on LP.com. We'll let you know as soon as that happens if it does.

A magic stunt went very wrong at the Club Tattoo opening. Two friends of the site witnessed the 'Death Drop' stunt go very wrong and have submitted a report of the incident. We hope that the stuntman involved is ok and makes a quick recovery.

The included pictures were used under permission.

I've been very busy these past few months, but one piece of news that has got me excited is the very rare demo CD that LPLive has managed to get their hands on and rip for the fan community.

This is a selection of demos, some which we've heard before, and some slightly different, and one track that no one really knew existed before. She Couldn't. It's very different from what we're used to hearing from Linkin Park, so check it out :)

Anyway go here and download it in FLAC or MP3!

Thanks LPLive!

Looks amazing! Someone take me! :D

As already reported, Linkin Park is releasing a song for the Transformers Soundtrack. This was reported to be released on May 18th on Mike Shinoda's blog (thanks Steve L!), and it has now been announced that the title of the track is 'New Divide' and it will be downloadable from iTunes on May 18th. The day that it premieres on radio world wide.

The full transformers soundtrack will be released on June 23rd.

Not long, can't wait to hear it! (and see it!)

Sorry this is a little hastily done but I'm at work and I'm uber excited!

Some of you may have seen via your LPU email alert that Linkin Park will be working on the score for Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. A new LP song is being used as one of the themes through the movie and LP will be working with Hans Zimmer to create various interpolations of this for the score!

How exciting! Check out the full article using the link below because I can't type anymore!

best news ever!!

Mike recently mentioned in his blog that the new Linkin Park record will feature more Joe Hahn work, this time using slightly more obvious samples. For the first two CDs, Joe was creating original samples to implement throughout his set, but as time continued and Mike lost interest in hip hop, Joe became a t-shirt salesman, Chester an Actor, Rob a chef and the other two did something, we saw less and less of Joe's active stage presence and wikipedia-like sampling.

So in order to gain more radio play and be featured on more of the record, Joe has evolved further and will be sampling Lady Sovereign, Lady Gaga and Lady Marmalade for a Chester and Phoenix collaboration entitled "Ladies and Queens".

The song is supposedly very bass heavy, will feature harmonies but also be the first Linkin Park track without any accompaniment from Mike. For more info continue to the comments section.
