Linkin Park Announce The One More Light World Tour

(TRR) Alt-rock titans Linkin Park have announced the first leg of their One More Light World Tour today via Genius, a first for both the genre-defying band and the lyric annotation platform. The trek kicks off on July 27 in Boston, MA at Xfinity Center and wraps up on October 22 in Los Angeles, CA at the Hollywood Bowl. Stops in New York and Pennsylvania are set to be announced imminently. Support for the tour will be provided by EST 19XX/Bad Boy/Interscope recording artist Machine Gun Kelly as well as ONE OK ROCK on select dates.  In 2014, Machine Gun Kelly joined LP for a rendition of “Bleed It Out” on the band’s surprise appearance at the Van’s Warped Tour.

This tour is in support of Linkin Park’s upcoming seventh studio effort One More Light which is due out on May 19 via Warner Bros. Records. The band’s risky creative choices – swinging wildly from song to song, album to album – are a hallmark of their career, and One More Light is no exception. Their most personal to date, the album is built on the stories of six voices coming clean about their lives and struggles, as if it were the first time. OML isn’t bigger, louder, or more avant-garde, it’s more human.

In an effort to put tickets into the hands of real fans, first access to tickets for the One More Light World Tour will be reserved exclusively for fans – not scalpers or bots. The Linkin Park Presale – powered by Ticketmaster Verified Fan, will utilize unique fan-first technology to level the playing field and ensure fans compete against other fans for tickets – not software. The more you participate, the higher your spot in line and the better your access to tickets. Linkin Park Fan Club (LPU) members will get priority, but anyone can work their way to the top. Pre-sale begins May 9. Fans and LPU members can register for the tour pre-sale right now at https://presale.linkinpark.com/. General on-sale is set for May 12 – for more information visit livenation.com. Every single full-priced ticket purchased for the tour includes a choice of a standard CD or standard digital copy of the One More Light album (a $10.99 value). $1.00 from every full-priced ticket sold on the tour will benefit Music For Relief, the charity foundation Linkin Park founded in 2005 to aid survivors of natural disasters and environmental protection.
