Linkin Park SA Tour

Same response to the thread in CA in relation to this.

Big Concerts can go and fsck themselves.... I'm getting tired of them just ignoring Durban as a venue.

I'm sure the residents of poffadder are pissed as well

You guys know Chester can't sing live, right?

He does just fine live. Saw them at an intimite gig in London - 1,500 people only! That was just before they released Minutes to Midnight, and it was to date the best gig I've ever been to. Then I heard the rest of Minutes to Midnight, and then they released A Thousand Suns, and i totally lost faith in them.....however the newest album Living Things, is in my opinion, decent. If they can limit the garbage from ATS in their performance, this should be pretty good!

Haven't heard the new one yet but must definitely give it a spin. I agree with you on ATS though. The only songs I liked from that album were When They Come For Me and Wretches and Kings. I hope the majority of their set is from the the first three albums. Imagine they open with One Step Closer. Oh my, the place will be seething!

On another note, any word on who will be opening for them? Hopefully it's not the Nudies again. They failed hard at the U2 concert (IMHO of course)

[Shake&Bake]

Not for that kind of money - and not really a band I'd pay to see.
Also - a lot of their latest offerings have been ***.

I like to think that deep down they know who made them famous. I cant understand why they did most of that rubbish on ATS - I thought M2M was a bit of a let down and expected some redemption, but boy was I wrong.

I will say that in London, which as I said was before the M2M album was released, they played 2 tracks from M2M that had never been heard before, and they were Given Up and No More Sorrow - in my opinion, the 2 best tracks of the entire album. Part of me likes to think its because they understood that that was what the crowd wanted. Then they left the stage and the lights went out and everyone asked for an encore....chanting it.....so they came back on stage and finished with...Faint. It was ****ing epic. At that stage Faint was the one track i actually wanted to hear live more than any other.

Living Things is pretty good. I actually like MOST of the songs! So ya, if they make good picks, they can throw together a monster concert.

Edit: I'll also just add - if you imagine that you've never heard 'No More Sorrow' before, and the first time you experience it is live in a relatively small room......wow.......will never be forgotten. Incidently I paid 100quid for a ticket off the black market (they went on sale at 17.50), and trust me, its worth the money (so long as they leave out the ATS >.<)

Just bought my tickets for Cape Town through LPU .... you pay more than what you'll be paying through Computicket though.
At least it beats sitting in a virtual Computicket queue

R515+ to see a bunch of "has-beens"? What a joke.

So who would you pay R515+ to go see?

gc sold out presales in jhb

can anyone confirm this ?

[Agent_Smith]

can anyone confirm this ?

Very likely! A mate tried to get presale GC tickets for CPT and those were also all gone.

[4cer]

Ig joburg Golden Circle are sold out.. im going to be highly unimpressed

[Kosmik]

can anyone confirm this ?

Yes. Mate of mine has the early invite, we tried last night, only managed to book in stands next to gold circle. SOLD OUT.

[Ampha]

I found it quite stupid really that all GC tickets are sold out before those that arent a member of the LPU site.
Hopefully they had a limited amount of tickets available on the pre-sale.
Will just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow morning I guess

[Brawler]

Computicket and BC said that there WILL be golden circle available on Thursday and Friday, not sure how many though..
