My Chem, Placebo, Saosin Set For Linkin Park Projekt Revolution Tour?

Saosin will join Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution tour with My Chemical Romance, Placebo, Taking Back Sunday, HIM, Mindless Self Indulgence and others this fall. Linkin Park traditionally does the tour in support of a new album they release, and with Minutes To Midnight released this spring the band follows true to form.

Video clip :

Saosin bassist Chris Sorenson and singer Cove Reber revealed that they're really stoked to be on a bill with so many superstars.

[Sorenson] "We come back for three weeks we have off in the summer, and then we start Projekt Revolution with Linkin Park, My Chem, HIM," [Reber] "...Taking Back Sunday, HIM" [Sorenson] "Taking Back Sunday, Placebo, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Bled..." [Reber] "...possibly Mastodon?" [Sorenson] "I don't think Mastodon is on it, but, yeah, possibly, Saosin." [Reber] "The Saosins."

We asked Saosin if they had ever experienced a Projekt Revolution tour as fans, or heard about it from some of their peers.

[Sorenson] "No. We have no clue what it's about." [Reber] "That's why I think we're so stoked is I think there's only been like three or four of these things?" [Sorenson] "Three. I think Korn was on one year. Two years ago The Used did it, and..." [Cove] "..they told us it was great." [Sorenson] "They thought it was great, but it was very hip-hop. Snoop Dogg was, like, the headliner and the RZA was playing, and they said it was hard. It was a hard tour. This year is more rock, but when are you going to have a chance to play in front of Snoop Dogg's fans of Placebo's fans..." [Reber] "...as a band like us." [Sorenson] "...or Linkin Park's fans, for us?"

At press time, the Linkin Park camp was unavailable for comment about the line-up or dates for the tour. Saosin is currently on the Taste Of Chaos tour with The Used, 30 Seconds To Mars, Senses Fail and others. The band said that they have at least two years of tour dates booked in support of their latest self-titled release. The band will film the video for "You're Not Alone" after the North American run of Taste Of Chaos dates end on April 6 in Calgary, Alberta.

[maisey ferret]

Think they'll come to UK?

[RockMusicFan]

Hmmm...I was hopeing TBS would not be on this tour. Well hopefully Mastodon will actually be on it, but in the end I'll be going for Linkin Park mainly.

[MachineHeart]

this is quite the interesting line up

Checked

[iamthedecieved]

thats kind of rediculous itd almost be worth it just for msi, mastadon and linkin park tho id be more excited for the other 2 but yeah thats ****en wierd hehe

[lyingfromyou118]

Dear God, LP and MSI. I must go.

[Aidy Damage]

Placebo? HIM? MSI?!

Please come to the UK, I'm jizzing my boxx0rz!

[Gemini]

MSI, Linkin Park, possibly Mastodon. I can find something to entertain myself during the other bands.

[echofreak]

all great bands and all very different

[tbean1060]

HOLY SH*T!!! that is amazing, this is like a tour hand built for me. I loved The Black Parade, I love Saosin, I've been told I look like Taking Back Sundays lead singer, so this could be a helluva tour, and possibly Mastadon, and of course Linkin Park, my personal favorite rapcore band. and for those of you who don't like it... you guys suck.

[Handthatfeeds25]

If Linkin Park is there , i'm there.

[rodgab3]

Linkin Park always have crazy tours man, way different music styles, i guess thats why its called the Projeckt Revolution.

[Electrolite]

Oh, Placebo, MCR, and MSI, I'm so looking into this. =D

[PAsistem]

thats a pretty good lineup. im looking forward to seeing the tour dates. i hope it comes to sacramento, ca! or at least some place close

Checked.

[ThirtySTM]

Placebo's going to be headlining over all these hacks, right?

[KeepDreamin]

Take out My Chem and HIM and i'd go to it.

[omfg_its_dally]

Sweet MSI and MCR, I'm in.

[f***music]

sounds good to me except for lp and saosin

[sum41freak8733]

y o y does saosin have to do "your not alone" i was hoping for a better song to do a video for but w/e line-ups pretty sick

[GuitarSymphony]

I love all these bands cept HIM. I'm gonna try to go.

[zackk]

my favorite of the bands is HIM

Checked.

[birdman267]

What about all the Hip-Hop acts??
They used to do it w/ snoop dogg etc.

[ZeRoGuY]

i'd see Mastodon, MSI maaaaybe, and definetly LP

but the rest of these emos are gonna make it hard for mye to be too determined to go... it's a shame.

[1h81337]

wow, i might actually go out of my way to see this one if i have to

[darkfire_storm]

linkin park, HIM, and thats it. i was planning on seeing linkin park tour after hearing the so-called "QWERTY", but with a lineup like that, i dont think itll be worth it. i'll wait til they tour the next time around.

[shugo449]

My Chem and Linkin Park?

[stradivari310]

good combo

[Metal_freek]

theyv got a really different lineup. metal, hard-core, horror punk, love metal. hmm. il still probly go lol.

[aild2006]

god i hope the bled isn´t on...
they´re way too good for the tour

[misirlou]

why is it necessary to spell it "projekt"?

[Saofan12]

holy shit what a line up!, ive seen saosin 3 times thier ****in amazing

[StraylightRun_X]

usuallly my comments are pretty thoughtful on here, but all i can say is:

OMFG.

Checked.

[SMK626]

what happened to linkin park.... they used to be so great... they got to techno-y for my taste now. but the bands they are touring with.... mcr? ew....

[madefortvmovie]

what a strange line-up.... why wont my chem and linkin park go away and stop taking great bands on tour? i dont want to sit through linkin park and my chem to see placebo, but im sure if they come near me, i will. maybe.

Well aware. I was just trying to be a smartass.

[worldsucks]

wtf :S

[ZiggyZiggify]

Boy, does that sound shitty.

[goldenphoenix1]

you're not alone as the next video...anyone catch that?
don't particularly like that song
good to see linkin park releasing a new album
hopefully a lot better than some of the shit bands going around now (none of which are on this tour thank goodness)

[DaBlackE]

I'm sure Mastodon will really want to do this tour after having done Unholy Alliance and touring with Tool. I find it weird when bands replace the letter "c" with "k".

[cynicalstereo]

I went to projeckt revolution a few years back.

The lineup was probably the same level of wierdness..

Korn, Less Than Jake, some random band called Silvertide, Snoop Dogg, The Used were all there.

Less Than Jake didn't get much love.

The only problem with this year's linup is MCR and HIM.

I don't want a bunch of pansy-ass teeny-bopper emo kids ruining my Linkin Park concert.

[dark_falco3000]

Not sure about the rest of them, but I'd go for LP and HIM. Take out MCR though.

[larzthemonkey]

all i know is that i'm ready for linkin park's new album or at least what kind of sound it will have

and after saosin is done with all the touring with the array of different bands they had better come out with a really good sophmore album

as for who i wouldn't want to see
the only band that would get on my nerves is HIM and all they're fans that have illusions that they are "metal"
....pfft
i'm okay with My Chemical Romance
but i might have to cut one of they're fans since they don't know how to do it right by themself

otherwise
i'd deal with them though
to see the rest of the line-up

[bad_kitty182]

PLacebo, MCR, MSI!
i'm so going to see that shit!

*Checked*

[jammer-91]

Is it just me beacues all the saosin songs i download from lime wire is badly recorded quality?

Also My chem and HIM dont go well together. Emos would be mixed with goths and we know what happens next... OR do we????

[HorrorInMyEyes]

i also downloaded some songs from lime wire, but they were okay...
yeah, i guess we all know what happens when emos, goths and all the rest will come together. HIM... i kinda hate this band, sry. MCR... okay, i just have something against the fans of this band. some fans, not all. well, and the rest of the line up sounds great. this won't be boring.

[demonhunter2]

two words: expensive tickets

[Laslow]

mcr....urgh

[prbaby!]

Laslow and Horror: MCR is awesome, and so are most of their fans!

Wow, I am imagining $200 a pop for these tix :-( Whatever - I am going to start saving my $$ now! I want to go sooo bad. Where do you think they'll post the dates first?

[rob420]

**** mcr placebo and taking back sunday, but for HIM i'd pay $500+ and its gonna be all for HIM cause i'll be gettin drunk while the black(fag)parade's on and then it'll be just drunken HIM lovin goin on **** yes HIM on a North american tour **** yes

[steve45]

what a line-up... they shouldve called it... "proJekt disaster" ... im up for saosin, , taking back sunday, LP and Him... but what??? who???... no way... yet still i want to go...

[steve45]

they shouldve called it "Projekt Disaster" or something. Line-up's interesting... Im up for Saosin, LP, HIM, and taking back sunday... but what??? who??... no way... i still wanna go...

[Saoguitarist]

lol... whatver steve... lineup's cool.. sept for the ... rap gigs... maybe... still looking forward to go..

[deathleprechaun]

Holy ****... HOLY ****!!!! my chemical romance AND taking back sunday AND HIM AND placebo?!?!?! i would literally KILL for tickets!! my god!! this is like my wildest dream come true!!!!

[BurnsyLP]

I think this may be a hint that LP are goin for a more mainstream/borderline emo phase wif their new album..anyone agree??

[mychemtotheend]

Wow
MCR & TBS & LP & HIM & Saosin
heh.
I would die if they came anywhere near here.
