    American rock icons Linkin Park have just announced plans to lay claim to the German city of Hamburg ... to host a 3-day long special event there for fans, starting from September 19 in the lead-up to their show on September 22. This announcement comes as a tweet featuring a link to a webpage with further details:


    The webpage explains that September 19-22 will see Hamburg become "Linkin Park City". Prominently featured is this PDF map of the city marked with significant places and dates related to the band's takeover (click for better resolution):

    Among the things to be seen or attended throughout this period are:
    • Linkin Park stencils and motifs in St. Pauli, Eimsbüttel and Altona on September 19 (day 1), which fans are encouraged to share online;
    • street musicians who will perform Linkin Park songs at "hotspots like the Landungsbrücken" on September 20 (day 2), which fans are encouraged to approach;
    • a drone light show "around Heiligengeistfeld" at 9 PM on the night of September 20 (day 2).

    The takeover will culminate with a gathering described as "the ultimate Linkin Park fan event". This will take place at Thai Oase, a karaoke bar in the city, on September 21 at 4 PM local time. Tickets to Linkin Park's sold-out Hamburg show are up for grabs, among other "exclusive prizes". There is naturally mention of some karaoke, so fans attending might be wise to prepare for a contest ...
    Linkin Park's Hamburg concert is, again, on September 22 at Barclays Center. Check out linkinpark-hamburg.de for more information on Linkin Park's city takeover.

    You are welcome to discuss the social, political and economic implications on our message board.

    They just keep going and going with the big showdown.

    I wish I'd win one of those last remaining tickets, but going to Hamburg on a 0.001% gamble is a bit too much :lol: But this is so cool, may everyone attending enjoy !

    If I were the band, I'd make one of those street performers sneak in a performance of a song nobody has heard before-- "It's Linkin Park, you just didn't know it yet!"
