Tonight, Linkin Park will play the Verizen Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, Georgia. LPL are giving us some more details about the show in their pre show post:
“Linkin Park has made a grand total of 11 stops in Georgia, but this will be their first time in Alpharetta, having always played in Atlanta, roughly 27 miles away. Georgia, Nevada and Portland are in fact the only states where the band has consistently played in the same city each time they visit (Atlanta, Las Vegas and Portland) so tonight is something of a tradition breaker!
Having made their GA debut on 99x’s “Big Day Out” show in Atlanta’s Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre, the band has made their mark in numerous venues around the city, most recently playing the Philips Arena on the US Leg of the A Thousand Suns Tour, the Philips Arena has quite a funny history with the band: on LP’s first time playing there (30.10.01), Chester and Brad wore animal masks during the show! And roughly 3 years later, on the last ‘big’ night of the band’s Meteora World Tour (06.03.04) – as documented by the LPTV episode “Meteora World Tour” – numerous members of other bands jumped onstage during One Step Closer, armed with inflatables, some wearing bondage and even bringing a dog with them!
Tonight, the band will be playing Alpharetta’s Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre. Opened in 2008, this 12,000 capacity outdoor venue has played host to Green Day, Judas Priest, and Incubus themselves headlined here in 2011!”
LPL admin Mark will be present at the show. For live updates follow him on Twitter @Hahninator. There will also be an interview with LPL admins Jonas and Mark online here soon. The last week, they’ve been at Honda Civic Tour shows and I wanted to wait with publishing the interview until they were done with their travels.
I will update this post after the show, when there are pictures, videos, etc. If you attend one of the Honda Civic Tour shows, tweet your pictures at @lpfancorner and they will be shared!
