I hope it will be live streamed or at least we'll be able to see a recording afterwards. I can't even imagine how hard it will be to see only five of them on stage
I wonder who the artists would be. I assume Julien K, Machine Gun Kelly, STP, Stormzy (maybe?), Blackbird This.
Is there any information on how much tickets will cost? I'm curious if it is worth the cross country flight.
For anyone interested, there are 2 promotional items on the Linkin Park web store pertaining to this event. A shirt and a zip hoodie.
Afternoon. 12am is midnight. Grey Daze definitely. Tom Morello, I doubt. Jay Z, Rakim maybe? Lupe Fiasco? Oh and definitely, DEFINITELY, Steve Aoki.
So glad the band is doing this. I hope I get tickets tomorrow, I should be in group 1, and hopefully ticketmaster doesn't fuck up this presale like they did the last one. I think for everyone who can't make it they'll stream it or record and release a blu ray with all proceeds benefiting the One More Light Foundation
Can't make it with work and school plus I'm already trying to put together a trip to L.A. to watch the Texans play the Rams in November. Like everyone who won't be there, I hope they live stream the event.
