Produced by Live Nation and partnered with Major League Baseball, "Halo 3" for Xbox 360, Monster Energy Drink, etnies, and Nowwhat.com, Projekt Revolution is a unique tour experience that merges a variety of music styles personally selected by the band. "I couldn't be happier with the group of artists joining us on Projekt Revolution this summer ... " says co-vocalist Chester Bennington, "Linkin Park is thrilled to be joined by this amazing group of artists and I know the audience will share in our excitement." Previous Projekt Revolution alumni include Korn, Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, Xzibit, Mudvayne, Adema, Blindside and DJ Z-Trip.

Projekt Revolution and Music For Relief have been working hard at making this event an environmentally conscious effort. Besides making the tour a "Green" tour Projekt Revolution and Music for Relief will be donating $1 from each ticket to give to American Forests for their Global ReLeaf program to plant trees to help reduce global temperatures.

This past weekend Linkin Park performed some of the new tracks from their forthcoming release, Minutes to Midnight, to a sold out crowd of 40,000 at the Bamboozle Festival in NJ. Currently they have the #1 track at Alternative and Active Rock radio and have sold more than 275,000 downloads to date of the first single "What I've Done," the catalyst of what is sure to be the year of Linkin Park!
