Linkin Park: 1000 Suns Tour 2011






It was only 2 years ago that Linkin Park was in Minnesota at the Excel Center in St Paul, and almost to the date of that second year: they have arrived again. The crowd is rumored to have been over 11,000 which isn't bad considering how cold it is here right now. The line is already down the block and packed inside the arena. People have been waiting to get in for quite some time and they're willing to wait a little longer for a band that causes screams where ever it goes. Upon entrance, the stage and all it's lighting is symbolic to the bands latest album : Thousand Suns. Triangular in shape, it gives optimum crowd coverage even if the stage is a little smaller than we first expected.

After the first 2 bands play their sets, LP is set forth to put forth another amazing show. Always impressive are the lighting effects this band chooses to display when playing any show. Flat screens flip around and reveal one very large monitor screen in the shape of a triangle. This showcases the band in various places from cameramen stationed in the pit. The crowd gets a first hand look at what it would feel like to be in the pit if they're in the seats. From LP classic songs to the newest in that line, the crowd gets them all. All in all, LP is always welcome in MN and we can't wait until they're here once again.

Be sure to follow Linkin Park's new tour and catch them in a town near you!
