2014.10.25 - SCOTTSDALE, AZ - 'STARS OF THE SEASON' GALA



Linkin Park is heading to Scottsdale, Arizona on their next stop on their short one-off show tour, to perform a show at the 5th Annual 'Stars Of The Season' Gala. While this will be the band's first time performing at the event, Chester has been there for years, playing with various acts. In 2011, Dead By Sunrise was the headliner, performing an acoustic set featuring songs such as 'Morning After' and 'Crawl Back In'. The set also featured a few covers - 'I'll Try Not To Destroy You' and 'Palm Springs Reset' by Julien-K, and 'The Messenger' by Linkin Park. In 2012, Chester performed with some friends, playing some of his favorite songs, including 'My Generation' by The Who, 'Wonderwall' by Oasis, and 'Helter Skelter' by The Beatles. At the most recent performance in 2013, Chester performed with Stone Temple Pilots, performing songs like 'Church On Tuesday', 'Out Of Time', and 'Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart'. Chester has been an avid supporter of the event since it's debut in 2010, and he continues to work with Cardon Children's Medical Center at every opportunity he gets!

Yesterday, the band performed for Guitar Center's 50th Anniversary, performing a full run-down of Set A. Nothing of major interest occurred at the show, besides Brad making a triumphant return to the stage after suffering an ear infection that prevented him from traveling to Brazil. The show will be shown on DirecTV on December 12, we'll get more details on that soon. It seems like the band will be recycling Set A and Set B from the Carnivores Tour in Europe, given that they don't have much time to rehearse anything else (maybe 3 or 4 days in which they can utilize left in October - Chester has to fly out to Connecticut to perform on Halloween night with Stone Temple Pilots). Who knows, maybe the band will still surprise us! Miracles DO happen - in 2010, after reading a thread on LPLive, the band brought back 'Lying From You' and 'Leave Out All The Rest' without any rehearsal! Let's get that #BringBackAPFMH going!

While this is not a performance, check out this video - the Cardon Children's Medical Center music video for 'Burn It Down'! It features some of their kids and staff singing and dancing to the song. And who can forget the 'Mini Mike' during the bridge? Definitely an awesome way to raise awareness and thank Linkin Park for their work with the program.
 

We don't know much about what will happen with this show - a full set or not. The band surprised us yesterday and broke the Guitar Center Session tradition of performing a select few songs and performing a full set (though that may be because of how big of an event it was for Guitar Center). Chester's never performed a full set at the show (the only comparable figure for this is really only STP, where they performed 9 songs as opposed to 19). We'll have to wait and find out what the band decides to do!

Who's excited for the show? This show is limited-access only, so it's likely that we won't get too much information on it right away. The band's good friend, Stryker from KROQ will be emceeing the event for the third year in a row! It's always great to see the band working for such a noble cause such as this. In other Linkin Park news, the tracklist from the score of Joe's movie, MALL has recently started leaking, including songs such as 'Luna', 'Ammosick', and a bunch of other new pieces of music. A bunch of tour rumors have started popping up, including a Winter North American Tour, a performance at Rock In Rio Brazil and Sao Paulo in September, a summer European Tour, and an Australasian Tour, which could be the band's first performance in India. After this show, Chester heads to Connecticut for a show with Stone Temple Pilots, and then the band will head to Zurich, Switzerland to kick off their European Tour! We'll keep you updated on the show, check back here or follow us on Twitter for updates!
