One of them is the nu-metal heavyweights Linkin Park, who remain one of the most successful bands in recent years even though they have released only three studio albums between 1996 and 2010. But what they lack in quantity they more than make up for in quality and since their debut release at the start of the new millennium they have managed to demonstrate time and time again their enduring popularity. It is such that Linkin Park tickets are certain to be huge draws when they go on sale.
Not content with selling a plethora of albums at home in the US, Linkin Park have earned enormous levels of success all over the world, topping the charts across Europe, Australia and beyond, whilst music videos and singles receive regular airplay and maintain their place in the limelight. And these high record sales have also translated into critical success as the music press heaps them with praise and awards continue to come their way, including the two Grammy Awards they earned in 2002 and 2006 for “Crawling” and “Numb/Encore” alongside Jay-Z.
Perhaps the best known member of the band is Chester Bennington, who has been a prominent vocalist since he joined the group in 1999. Presently, he is joined onstage by talented musicians such as Brad Delson in the guitar, Mike Shinoda on the rhythm guitar/keyboards, David Farrell on the bass guitar, Joseph Hahn on the decks and Rob Bourdon on the drums. The line-up has remained much the same since they emerged with their debut album in 2000 and as a result they can all take credit for great tracks like “One Step Closer”, “Papercut”, “In the End”, “Breaking the Habit”, “Shadow of the Day” and more.
These singles and others have appeared on their three monumentally successful albums that have appeared over the last decade, beginning with their multi-platinum selling debut “Hybrid Theory” in 2000, which saw them explode onto the scene and appear on stages worldwide. They followed it up in 2003 with “Meteora” and earned another platinum-selling release, which propelled them onwards to their final album of the decade “Minutes to Midnight” in 2007. So with another album in 2010, Linkin Park fans are likely to remain by their sides for many years to come.
As a result, expect great demand on any occasion that Linkin Park tickets go on sale. Their live shows are celebrated as demonstrating great spectacle and like any rock band their music sounds at its best when it is performed in such a setting. As a monumentally success rock band they can also sell out huge arenas, meaning that their shows can expect to fill enormous spaces and lead to an experience of epic proportions.
