On February 16th Linkin Park will play their first show of 2013 and their only scheduled show in North America this year at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The band's last appearance in Las Vegas was on September 22nd, 2012 where they played an abbreviated set at the 2012 iHeartRadio Music Festival. After this performance Linkin Park will travel to New Zealand to kick off a new tour leg that will begin with the 8th International LPU Summit in Aukland, New Zealand followed by seven shows in Australia. Below are the scheduled dates for this tour: 02.21.2013 - Auckland, New Zealand, Show & LPU Summit 02.23.2013 - Brisbane, Australia, Soundwave Festival 2013 02.24.2013 - Sydney, Australia, Soundwave Festival 2013 02.26.2013 - Sydney, Australia, Sydney Entertainment Centre 02.27.2013 - Melbourne, Australia, Rod Laver Arena 03.01.2013 - Melbourne, Australia, Soundwave Festival 2013 03.02.2013 - Adelaide, Australia, Soundwave Festival 2013 03.04.2013 - Perth, Australia, Soundwave Festival 2013 In 2012 Linkin Park toured in four different continents to support their newest album, LIVING THINGS. To date, the only songs from this album that haven't been performed live in their entirety are "I'LL BE GONE", "ROADS UNTRAVELED", "SKIN TO BONE", "UNTIL IT BREAKS", and "POWERLESS." Given the band's desire to mix up their setlists, it wouldn't be surprising to see some of these songs incorporated into their setlists this year. Another thing to look out for this tour is whether or not Linkin Park decides to make "CASTLE OF GLASS" a staple song since its only performances have been at the Spike VGA's (video HERE) and the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show. Also, it will be interesting to see what special things from last year's shows will performed again in this new tour. For example, in 2012 the band did an abbreviated cover of "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys over the bridge of "Bleed it Out" in most of their shows. Other special live treats included a mash-up of "VICTIMIZED" and "Qwerty" and Mike's 2nd verse of "UNTIL IT BREAKS" over the intro of "Waiting for the End." Many fans are also hoping that the use of pyro will continue to be used during the performance of "BURN IT DOWN." Who is excited for this upcoming tour? What changes, if any, do you expect the band to make? As always, the LPA plans on bringing coverage to Linkin Park's live shows in the form of these tour posts along with set list updates.

Is this going to be a full set? If so, I'm excited to see what they do (if anything) to mix it up a bit. Definitely would be great to see Skin To Bone and Powerless live.
Cant wait for roads untraveled live!!! And I hope they replace until it breaks with jornada del muerto. And play easier to run, powerless, ill be gone
Well Chester confirmed I'LL BE GONE as being added to their setlist. The other question is whether POWERLESS will be added or not, Mike did say they were maybe going to add it.

Man, I really hope they don't stop playing BIO with Sabotage. BIO kinda sucks live on it's own. And I want Powerless and STB, but I think they'll play IBG, like Chester said they might in that LPU chat.
Bleed It Out had the Sabotage bridge saying [to be retired] on the KROQ setlist but was dropped so I guess we won't be seeing that. Is anyone tweeting the setlist?
Out of the songs that haven't been played live yet, I wish the band would give ROADS UNTRAVELED a shot. I think it has potential to be a very emotional live song like My December was.
I'd post up the set list for Soundwave in Adelaide, and some footage, but I haven't seen LP live in so long that I want to enjoy every minute of the experience. I'll post what I remember though. They're playing for a little over an hour.

Date: February 16, 2013 Location: Las Vegas, Nevada Venue: PH Live at Planet Hollywood R. and C. Venue Type: Arena Show #: 1 of 1 SETLIST: TINFOIL Faint (Ext. Outro) xx. Waiting For The End xx. LOATR/SOTD/Iridescent (Ballad Medley) Show Notes: - First show of 2013, considered the "warm-up show" for the upcoming Soundwave Festival. Other Notes: - Advertised as the only North American show of 2013.
Somebody on Twitter said BIO closed the show. I've also seen videos from Breaking the Habit and Numb.
I wouldn't get your hopes up for a return for "Easier To Run" onto a regularly rotating setlist. We have a better chance of seeing the song "Slip" than "Easier To Run," me thinks.
