[ February 19th 2004 ]
Linkin
Park will launch their third annual Projekt Revolution
tour this summer. The highly anticipated tour
will feature seminal artists Korn and Snoop Dogg.
The summer tour will continue in the tradition
of past Projekt Revolution tours, born on the
idea of merging and showcasing a variety of music
styles. Projekt Revolution began in 2002 with
openers Cypress Hill, Adema and DJ Z-Trip. Last
year's musical guests were Xzibit, Mudvayne and
Blindside. Projekt Revolution begins July 23rd
and goes through September 6th. Tour dates, cities,
and additional artists to the line up will be
announced shortly.
"It's
an amazing feeling to experience an artist's music
live, standing right there in the same room as
the person who wrote the songs," says Mike Shinoda,
vocalist for Linkin Park, "...and I think that
these three headline-quality acts will show the
Projekt Revolution crowd what a powerful feeling
that can be." Currently, Linkin Park are finishing
up their headlining Meteora World Tour which has
seen the band playing sold-out concerts at major
arenas across the country. The tour began in January
2004 and will end on March 15th at The Forum in
Los Angeles.
Linkin
Park's Meteora was the best selling rock album
of 2003 moving over 4 million copies in the U.S.
alone. In November 2003 they released Linkin Park:
Live In Texas, a CD/DVD combo that was filmed
during last year's Summer Sanitarium tour with
Metallica. Their debut album, Hybrid Theory, has
sold 15 million copies worldwide and was the best
selling album of 2001.
Korn
have sold more than 20 million albums worldwide
and have received widespread critical acclaim
for their music. The band - Jonathan, Munky, Head,
Fieldy and David - has redefined the parameters
of heavy music, revolutionizing the genre by matching
unsettling guitar textures and volcanic rhythms
with jagged, introspective lyrics and intense
vocal stylings. TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR, released
in November 2003, marks the band's sixth - and
first self-produced - album. The two-time Grammy-Award
winning group recently received a third Grammy
nomination in the "Best Metal Performance" category
for "Did My Time," a track from TAKE A LOOK IN
THE MIRROR; the song was also featured in the
film Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life.
Critically
acclaimed rapper Snoop Dogg burst on to the scene
in 1992. Since then, Snoop has emerged as one
of hip hop's most acclaimed artists, rapping with
everyone from Outkast to Pharell to Wu-Tang Clan
to Kid Rock. The Long Beach rapper has sold tens
of millions of records and starred in numerous
movies such as Training Day as well as the upcoming
Starsky & Hutch and Soul Plane. In 2004, Snoop
Dogg will release 2 new records, the long awaited
213 album, featuring Warren G and Nate Dogg, and
a new solo album. Snoop has a successful line
of clothing and has his own edition of a Cadillac
called the Snoop DeVille.
