Projekt Revolution Europe

[K]

Tickets just went onsale to LPU members for the European leg of the Projexkxtklt Revolution Tour. Headliners are Linkin Park and Jay-Z with other acts to be announced.

General sale is Friday for non LPU members.

Tickets are £45 each, and with Ticketmasters standard rape policy my order came to about £320. Thanks guys.

I'm hoping for Styles of Beyond, as they usually follow LP around and they're fucking amazing.

Jay Z and LP doing a double header can't not result in some awesome duets.

[The Chief]

Headliners are Linkin Park and Jay-Z ...

[K]

.. or, the first?

Jay-Z hasn't been at a Projekt Revolution tour yet, and certainly not in Europe, as we haven't had one before.

[Dan]

Hmm. What locations? anything northern?

[K]

I don't know how this will render, but straight from the LPU E-Mail

Jul 12 Edgefest '08 Toronto, Canada On Sale Now

Milton Keynes is the only UK date at the moment. That's where I'm going.

Gonna be pissed if they announce another closer to London though. There's plenty of time between MK and Canada for them to do it.

[Dan]

Bah, MK is miles away. Why the hell do Germany get so many? Did we win world war 2 for nothing?

[K]

No idea. But there's plenty of room between MK and toronto for more dates. That'll piss me off more than the £320 dent in my debit card if they reveal some though. Just do it all at fucking once instead of making me panic buying early.

[The Chief]

.. or, the first?

Jay-Z hasn't been at a Projekt Revolution tour yet, and certainly not in Europe, as we haven't had one before.

[K]

I thought you might of meant that, but it's a Linkin Park event. Without Linkin Park it wouldn't be Projekt Revolution. It would be like Ozzfest without Ozzy, Unholy Alliance without Slayer, Gigantour without Megadeth, Download Festival without Corey Taylor showing up because he has nothing better to do.

I'm very pleased he never has anything better to do.

[K]

Enter Shikari, The Bravery and the mighty Pendulum have been added to the Lineup.

[tristy]

On the US side of Projekt Revolution, we get Chris Cornell, The Bravery, Ashes Divide, Atreyu, 10 years, Hawthorne Heights, Armor for Sleep and the Street Drum Corps. Might as well rename the second stage the Hot Topic stage. ffs.

I'm highly jealous that you Europeans get Jay-Z and Pendulum. wankers.

[K]

Yeah, your line-up doesn't look so good so far this year.

Pendulum and Jay-Z are gonna kick it at ours.

Enter Shikari... well, providing I've had the exact perfect amount of beers, I apparently LOVE nu-raving, as evidenced by this picture. So they could rock it for us.

Wikipedia says we also have NERD. Which is odd, as they haven't been relevant for quite a while.

[Dan]

* Linkin Park

* Jay-Z

* Pendulum

* N*E*R*D

* Enter Shikari

* The Bravery

That looks amazing.

[tristy]

Dublin gets Coheed & Cambria and Queens of the Stone Age, as well.

[Dan]

Must. Go. Dublin.

[K]

Some band named Innerpartysystem has been added to the bill, or so says Wiki.

Never heard of them myself.

Anyone else going to Milton Keynes?

Going up on the Saturday, booked me a couple nights in the Hilton up there. Dead classy eh?

[tristy]

You guys get some unknown band added, we get Busta Rhymes.

[K]

Oh fuck you. Are you serious?

That's awesome.

To be fair though, that is the only thing your one has over ours. But it's a big thing. Shit man.

Tell you what, I'll trade you The Bravery for Busta?

They are pimped by IAceI, which I'm not sure is a good thing or not (). I've heard one song and it is VERY GOOD.

"Don't Stop" by InnerPartySystem

The bridge/chorus (and the song in general) sounds horifically similar to something...but I can't put my finger on it...I'd do bad, bad things to the bird in the video.
