Linkin Park to play here
By Douglas Tseng
CALIFORNIAN rockers Linkin Park are heading to Singapore for a concert on Nov 13.

Brought in by Lushington Entertainments, the Grammy-winning group will be performing at the Singapore Indoor Stadium as part of its Asia Tour.

On stage will be Chester Bennington (vocals), Rob Bourdon (drums), Brad Nelson (guitar), John Hahn (DJ), Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell (bass) and Mike Shinoda (vocals).

This will be their second concert here. They first played at the Padang in 2004, to an audience of about 15,000 people.

After their gig here, they will perform in Hong Kong on Nov 20 and South Korea on Nov 30.

Since their debut in 2000, Linkin Park have sold more than 40 million records worldwide.

They released their third album, Minutes To Midnight, in May, and it has since sold over 2.3 million copies internationally.

In Singapore, more than 28,000 copies have been sold so far, says distributor Warner Music.

Tickets will go on sale on Thursday at Sistic.

Linkin Park is not the only band making noise in the coming months. On Oct 26, legendary American thrash metal merchants Megadeth will be entertaining headbangers at Fort Canning Park.

And the next day, Heaven And Hell, a supergroup comprising the original members of metal pioneers Black Sabbath (sans Ozzy Osbourne) and frontman Ronnie James Dio, will be taking centre stage at the same venue.
