TO OFFER
FREE DOWNLOAD SAMPLERS
TO CONCERT-GOERS;
EXCLUSIVE MUSIC FROM TOUR ORGANIZERS LINKIN PARK
TO BE FEATURED ALONG WITH TRACKS FROM

AND
OTHERS
Proving
once again that it’s all for the fans, organizers for the third annual PROJEKT
REVOLUTION TOUR are offering everyone who purchases a ticket to any of the 32 tour dates
this summer a free sampler download.
Because
the PROJEKT REVOLUTION TOUR is about bringing together different styles of
music, the sampler is comprised of audio tracks from 13 distinctive artists and
is a mix of various genres of music from rock to hip hop to punk.
Bands featured on the sampler include Linkin Park, Korn, Snoop Dogg,
Helmet, Thrice, Ghostface, Less Than Jake, M.O.P. and more.
“We wanted our fans to not only hear the bands on the tour, but
some other bands that we like,” says Chester Bennington, vocalist for Linkin
Park. “We worked to give everyone
something special, songs that they may not hear anywhere else.” Created by
Machine Shop Marketing, the sampler features new, live and rare tracks
from these artists on the tour and like-minded bands.
Machine
Shop Marketing continues to bring music to fans in new and innovative ways,
emphasizing the importance of the relationship between the artist and their fans
as it has done with every aspect of Linkin Park. “I feel that our
Projekt Revolution sampler download is the perfect vehicle to promote artists
and new music to an audience that embraces the musical diversity that the
Projekt Revolution tour represents,” says Jessica Bardas, COO of Machine Shop
Marketing.
Ticket
holders will go to www.PRsampler.com or www.linkinpark.com
and enter the information
printed on their physical tickets to
gain exclusive access to the download. The
sampler downloads in the form of a player, with all of the audio embedded in the
player. Along with the tracks, there is also enhanced content--band bios, links,
photos, and video content--that corresponds with each of the sampler’s
artists.
The
2004 PROJEKT REVOLUTION TOUR kicks
off in Cincinnati, OH on July 23rd and will hit 32 cities before
concluding Sept 5th in Mountain View, CA.
News of the sampler comes after last week’s announcement about the
“Revolution Village” (a series of interactive exhibits from the tour’s
event partners) and the line-up for the Revolution Stage (Ghostface, Funeral For
A Friend, M.O.P. and downset, along with No Warning, Instruction, Autopilot Off,
who will be joining on for small regional stints).
These bands join Linkin Park and multi-platinum acts Korn, rap icon Snoop
Dogg who will headline the main stage along with up and comers the Used and punk
rockers Less Than Jake.
