International Stars Set To Rock And Groove, Shanghai
Shanghai Daily:
A bunch of hard rockers, an edgy pop-rock chick and a classy jazz crooner are set to return to the city next month to play sell-out concerts. American group Linkin Park is one of the most popular Western rock bands in China, Canadian Avril Lavigne wowed audiences in Shanghai last year while jazz diva Diana Krall has a big fan base here."We liked our experience in China last year a lot," says Linkin Park MC and vocalist Mike Shinoda. "The Shanghai concert was one of the best concerts and one we were really proud of."The band will rock the stage at Shanghai Stadium on October 12, joined by Taiwan's most popular rock band, May Day, for a three-hour non-stop concert. Each band will perform a 90-minute set."We like to choose a band with a distinctive style," Shinoda says when asked about the upcoming collaboration. "We are sure it will be interesting. We were told the majority of May Day's fans are girls while most of our fans in China are guys. So we'd like to see couples coming to our concert."The concert is also part of Linkin Park's first-ever Music For Relief tour. The band established MFR in 2005 to help aid victims of world catastrophes and combat global warming.Since its inception, the foundation has raised more than US$3 million for the victims of the tsunami tragedy in Southeast Asia, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the Southern California bushfires, among others and planted more than 809,000 trees to help reduce global warming.A portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold in China will be donated to the charity and the World Bank will match the total funds raised.All monies will be donated to China Development Market, an initiative by the World Bank which will distribute the funds to help tackle the consequences of the devastating earthquake in Sichuan Province on May 12.
"We feel extremely excited and proud being able to come back with our Music For Relief concerts," says Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. "We hope our efforts can raise more public awareness about the reconstruction work ahead in Sichuan and really provide assistance to the victims."One of the past decade's most popular international rock bands, Linkin Park features Bennington (vocals), Shinoda (vocals), Rob Bourdon (drums), Brad Delson (guitar), Joe Hahn (DJ) and Dave "Phoenix" Farrell (bass).The group has won two Grammy Awards, for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2002 with their hit single "Crawling" and for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with Jay-Z in 2006 for the innovative "Numb/Encore."They have sold more than 50 million records worldwide since their debut in 2000. Their debut album "Hybrid Theory" alone sold more than 18 million copies.Recognized for their adaptation of the "nu" metal and rap rock genre into a radio-friendly style in "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora," Linkin Park explored a variety of other genres in their latest studio album, "Minutes to Midnight.""It's of crucial importance for the band to always find new inspirations before starting work on a new album," Shinoda says."This is really unique for us as we've been together as a band for 10 years and sort of recognizable in the market. However, we always want new ideas and concepts, it's in our blood."

Mike Talking Projekt Revolution
The Projekt Revolution Tour gets underway tomorrow night in Boston. How does the trek differ from the rest of the summer tours? Since Linkin Park are headlining we put the question to Mike Shinoda.
-skope
“You know, this is obviously not an Oz Fest, it’s not a Vans Warped Tour. Some of the bands on this tour have played those bills but I think that there’s definitely a certain niche that we feel this tour fulfills and a lot of our fans seem to agree.”

No such thing as the “second stage” at PR
Projekt Revolution may have two stages, but organizers Linkin Park say there is no such thing as the “second stage” on the trek. Mike Shinoda says, “We made it a point. We don’t call it the second stage. We call it the Revolution Stage just out of respect for the other bands. They’re not second class citizens as far as we’re concerned. I’ve been on tours….where they wouldn’t let the second stage bands into the main stage area and I think that is horses***.” Chester Bennington says the tour Shinoda is referring to is Ozzfest, and though they were treated very well by The Osbournes, it was definitely a struggle. The vocalist says that during the trek, they had to find ways to fit in as they didn’t exactly match the typical Ozzfest audience. “That’s one thing we definitely didn’t want to have happen [with Projekt Revolution],” says Bennington. “We want diversity and we want people to come through the door with the idea that they’re going to see things that they probably wouldn’t see together in a normal situation….And we wanted to make sure that everyone from the opening act all the way through to the end of the day felt like they had their time and that they had the best opportunity they could and had everything they wanted to put on the best show they can put on.”
