We have been waiting for the great band Linkin Park for long, however, they have been forced to cancel their upcoming Music for Relief Concerts in Mainland China, Macao and Taipei as lead vocalist Chester has sustained a back injury and is under doctor’s orders to refrain from the traveling.

American rockers Linkin Park are coming performing at Venetian Macao’s Cotai Strip CotaiArena on October, 21, 2008. After performing in Shanghai, Wuhan, Taipei and Beijing, Macau is the last stop in Asia tour this year.

They have sold 50 million albums and won 2 Grammy Awards since their formation in 1996. Their first album, Hybrid Theory, was broadly accepted by the music fans and shortly they became one of the hottest bands in the world.

Many of their Macau fans are very excited about their arrival. Not many other bands have been able to produce a unique musical style quite like them - mixing and match rock, rap and metal elements “nu rock and rap rock”genres.

7 years ago, when their debut album first arrived in Macau, we could hear their songs like “In the end”, “Pushing me away” playing in every corner.

When we went to local band performances in Macau, we had to put up with many vocalists trying hard to replicate Chester Bennington’s unique style of singing, which was melodic growling and screaming. Us poor concert-goers had to sit through many young boys try but fail miserably.

7 years later, Linkin Park comes to CotaiArena at The Venetian Macao with their latest songs from the new album Minutes to Midnight.

The ticket price is only from MOP380 to MOP880, and we hear that many of the standing tickets are already sold out.
