"LINKIN PARK and INCUBUS fans have grown up together.  We're looking forward to bringing them all together for a great night of music." -Chester Bennington

For those eager to hear what Linkin Park have been up to, check out the lyric video released for their first single, "Burn It Down" (click link to watch), which comes off their upcoming "Living Things" album, set for a June 26th release via  Warner Bros.

"With this album, we've incorporated a lot of guitar work with big choruses and the heavier electronic stuff to give it that really big wall of sound feeling without getting too metal. This will be more familiar to people than 'A Thousand Suns' was, where we were like 'Fuck it, we're just going to go bonkers." -Chester Bennington

"I think we were just at a point where were hearing out things out there in the music world, a lot of stuff that was kind of boring us.  The music that we were writing that sounded like something that LINKIN PARK would do was kind of boring us. And we wanted to really challenge ourselves to try something that felt fresh and exciting." -Mike Shinoda
