Perhaps the most anticipated show of the Carnivores Tour is here! Linkin Park, Thirty Seconds To Mars, and AFI will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California on September 15, 2014. Linkin Park’s and Thirty Seconds To Mars’ sets will be broadcast live via VyRT! This will be the band’s first time performing at the Hollywood Bowl, but not their first time performing in Los Angeles - what is more or less their hometown. They’ve played there in 2001, FOUR times in 2003 (1, 2, 3, 4), 2006, 2008, twice in 2011 (1, 2), twice in 2012 (1, 2), and once earlier this year - totaling in at an impressive 12 shows. That’s a lot to, ground to cover so I’ll put the history lesson in the spoiler tag below if you so wish to learn a thing or two.

The first confirmed show in 2001 saw the band performing at the Hollywood Palladium with Adema. A GREAT video exists from the show - you can grab it hin our Live Video Downloads & Requests section. The band performed most of Hybrid Theory and a few older songs like ‘And One’ and ‘High Voltage’. A fan managed to throw a sock onto Brad’s guitar during the intro to ‘A Place For My Head’ - what a shot! The band performed two back-to-back shows in 2003, as a release party for Meteora. The band performed the same setlist at both shows, which contained then-new songs like ‘Easier To Run’, ‘Hit The Floor’, and ‘From The Inside’. Christian from Blindside came out at both shows to sing during ‘One Step Closer’! The band returned to L.A. for the second-to-last show of the Summer Sanitarium Tour, alongside artists like Metallica, Limp Bizkit, and Deftones. The band performed more Meteora songs (‘Numb’ and ‘Figure.09’ made their debuts on the tour) and even brought out ‘P5hng Me A*wy’ from Reanimation! The band returned two days later to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live, performing an energy packed set containing popular songs like ‘Faint’ and ‘Lying From You’. The band didn’t return to the stage in Los Angeles until 2006, where the band performed with Jay-Z and Sir Paul McCartney at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards for a once-in-a-lifetime performance of ‘Numb/Encore’ mashed up with The Beatles’ ‘Yesterday’ - a song referred to as ‘Yesternumb’.
The band returned for the Minutes To Midnight Touring Cycle in 2008, performing a shortened setlist due to Chester being sick. The band dropped songs like ’No More Sorrow’, ‘Points Of Authority’, and ‘Given Up’ - though the music video for ‘Given Up’ was released just before the show. The band used the regular outro for ‘Points Of Authority’ as an extended outro for ‘Papercut’ instead. In 2011, the band performed at the Staples Center with The Prodigy on the A Thousand Suns North American Tour. They performed new ATS songs like ‘When They Come For Me’, ‘Wretches and Kings’, and ‘Waiting For The End’, as well as some older songs. Mike rapped the first verse of ‘A Place For My Head’ over the extended bridge of ‘Bleed It Out’. The band returned later that year for a Music For Relief Benefit. This show was one of the few shows that didn’t open with ‘The Requiem’ - it instead opened with the Minutes To Midnight Tour Version of ‘Cure For The Itch’. Mike rapped APFMH over the bridge of ‘Bleed It Out’ again, but this time Chester continued with the bridge. Rob then performed a drum solo. The band returned again in 2012, the first show for Jimmy Kimmel Live. The band had to perform ‘Burn It Down’ and ‘New Divide’ twice due to technical difficulties. The band performed two days later at Club Nokia for X-GAMES Music, where they performed songs like ‘Tinfoil’, ‘Lies Greed Misery’, and ‘Burn It Down’ on livestream. Lastly, the band performed in L.A. early this year in January for the Music For Relief Concert For The Philippines. The show will be remembered by many as one of the most unique shows in Linkin Park history. The band opened with ‘One Step Closer’ for the first time since 2009, and brought out artists like Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart, Mike Einziger (with whom they collaborated with on the Honda Civic Tour), The Filharmonic from the show “Sing Off”, and Travis Barker from Blink-182. It was a night of many collaborations and great performances! Hopefully we’ll be seeing something interesting happen at this show!
This show will be broadcast via Jared Leto’s online ticketing service, VyRT. VyRT has been livestreaming shows since late 2011, where Thirty Seconds To Mars performed at their record-breaking MARS300 show (which I attended!) Since then, the platform has evolved and hosted many events, including the Jonas Brothers, Tomo Milecevic’s cooking show (Cooking with Tomo), and now, the Carnivores Tour. Linkin Park recently took advantage of it at their summit in Woodlands, TX, where they livestreamed their Q&A to LPU Members via the platform. LPU Members have their own chatroom, which can be accessed via a password you should have obtained via email. You can access it by going to the Carnivores Tour page and clicking the “Main” tab at the top of the chat. You can buy a ticket for the event for as low as $15 for both Linkin Park’s and Thirty Seconds To Mars’ sets, but there are options to purchase VIPs for each band: $40 for Linkin Park and $50 for Thirty Seconds To Mars. Jared has promised many surprises to happen during the show (and after, with the post-show broadcast for VIPs), who knows what we can expect! MARS livestreamed their concert at the Hollywood Bowl via VyRT last October and debuted their music video for ‘City Of Angels’ at the show, as well as performing ‘Stay’ by Rihanna and some other lesser played songs like ‘Depuis Le Debut’ and ‘Pyres Of Varanasi’. Their soundcheck was also broadcast, featuring many old songs like ‘Battle Of One’, ‘Buddha For Mary’, and ‘Capricorn (A Brand New Name)’. Don’t miss out on this event - it’ll be your last chance to experience the Carnivores Tour! Chester is rumored to appear during MARS’ post-show broadcast when they perform their acoustic set (I’ll keep you updated on that - I’m a MARS VIP), and Brad has been talking with Jared Leto… Who knows what’ll happen! Linkin Park is planning to use VyRT for future events, such as LPU Chats and even streaming concerts, so be sure to get your first experience at this crazy event!
The band recently performed in Quincy, Washington on September 13. They performed fairly regular version of Set A, which features ‘Crawling’ and ‘Points Of Authority’. Mike rapped a hybrid verse of ‘Remember The Name’ by Fort Minor over his solo medley. Mike has kept his solo medley relatively safe when it comes to changing up his verses, only rapping ‘When They Come For Me’ and ‘Remember The Name’ over the solo. What songs do you want to see him do? According to our poll, the fans want to see ‘High Voltage’, ‘Step Up’ and ‘Carousel’ above the rest! Speaking of changing things up, the band has kept their setlists pretty consistent on the tour, not changing much up. The band has rehearsed the entirety of Hybrid Theory, ‘Breaking The Habit’, ‘A Light That Never Comes’, ‘No More Sorrow’, and more for the tour, but, unfortunately, those songs didn’t make the cut for the final setlists. Our 2014 Live Poll says that you guys want to see ‘A Place For My Head’ and ‘By Myself’ on the tour, and we know they’ve rehearsed them! This show would be as good a place as any to get some great reaction from both the crowd and the fanbase!
Check out this video of the band performing ‘Numb/Encore/Yesterday’, or ‘Yesternumb’ at the Grammy Awards in 2006, with Jay-Z and Sir Paul McCartney. Would you like to see some collaborations happen for the end of the tour?
Aside from Linkin Park, the other bands on the Carnivores Tour are still doing great! AFI performed a shorter version of their average setlist, opening with ‘The Leaving Song, Pt. II’, playing new songs from their newest album, Burials, like ‘17 Crimes’ and ‘I Hope You Suffer’, older favorites like ‘Love Like Winter’ and ‘Silver And Cold’, and closing their set with their huge hit, ‘Miss Murder’. The band dropped ‘The Days Of The Phoenix’ from their set, unfortunately. Back at the beginning of the tour, they performed two songs which the subsequently dropped: ’A Single Second' and 'Beautiful Thieves’. Do you think the band will bring back one of those, or even a different song? Thirty Seconds To Mars also performed a different version of their set, opening with an old-school song by Carl Orff: ‘Carmina Burana, O Fortuna’ and their new song from Love Lust Faith + Dreams, ‘Up In The Air’. The band performed older tracks like ‘Search and Destroy’, new singles like ‘Do Or Die’ and ‘City Of Angels’, as well as some new songs like ‘Conquistador’ and ‘End Of All Days’. For those who are unfamiliar with MARS’s live performance and are tuning in to see them on VyRT, you can expect some HUGE production: giant balloons flying everywhere during ‘This Is War’, LOADS of confetti, and even Jared going out into the crowd during ‘Kings and Queens’! During his acoustic set, Jared played the chorus of their song, ‘Hurricane’, as well the band’s career-saving single, ‘The Kill (Bury Me)’. The band added their song ‘Bright Lights’ into the setlist, the first time they’ve done so on tour. Maybe as a rehearsal for the Hollywood Bowl! They jammed to Pantera’s ‘Cowboys From Hell’ as Jared invited fans up onstage for their last song, ‘Closer To The Edge’. There’s currently a contest going on - if we can sell 1,000 VyRT Tickets by the show tomorrow, Jared will dedicate ‘Do Or Die’ to a lucky fan. Will YOU be that fan?
