Free LPU Weekend access!

Over the last 10 years, LP Underground members have met the band at meet & greets, chatted with us online, attended LPU Summits all over the world, visited us in the studio, enjoyed exclusive merch and music and more. Now, for the first time, we're offering a free peek into the LPU to non-members.

If you're not an LPU member, you can take part in the first "LPU Weekend," so you can get a taste of what LPU is about. From July 29-31, we're inviting you to experience the LPU online for yourself, for free. You can watch LPU*TV episodes, check out the video chat, and participate in some giveaways. If you like what you see and decide to join, you'll be able to participate in the members-only LPU chat with Chester on Monday, August 1 at 3pm PT.

LPTV: Linkin Park Announce Secret Show in LA

Rolling Stone: Linkin Park Planning Album for Early Next Year

Rolling Stone talked with Chester about Linkin Park's next album.
...the band is so far along that Bennington says he'd be "shocked" if it doesn’t come out next year – even though until now, the band had released three studio albums in 10 years. But they've been shifting their focus to writing new songs, even while on the road. "Mike [Shinoda] and I are out there with our studios – technology, thank God, has gotten to the point when what used to be three refrigerator-sized racks of equipment and a full board the size of a king bed can now fit in my backpack – and we’re working on new music as we’re driving in the car to a venue or in our hotel room, and when we come home, everybody works in their homes," he says. "So we’ve kind of got this groove down to the point we’re kind of having our cake and eating it too."

Update on the Secret Show for Japan

Phoenix sent out a letter through the Linkin Park newsletter regarding the secret show for Japan:
Hey guys,

As you probably know, we are playing at a small club in Los Angeles on August 31st to benefit tsunami relief in Japan. Many of you have already taken the challenge on secretshowforjapan.com to raise money for tickets. To show our appreciation for your hard work, we are doing something extra special for those of you who go above and beyond the $500 fundraising goal.

If you are one of the top 50 fundraisers, you will get a meet & greet pass that includes a group photo with the band. If you are one of the top 10 fundraisers you will also get a signed instrument from us. The fundraiser whose campaign contributes the most money overall will get the meet & greet, an instrument and will also get to watch the show from the side of the stage.

Click here to take the challenge.

If you live far from LA or just can’t make the show, you can still help the cause by donating to a fellow fan’s campaign.

Thank you to everyone who is participating. Japan needs our support right now. We hope to see you soon at the show.

- Phoenix
