>> Linkin Park Sets 'A Thousand Suns' Tour Dates

Source: Billboard

Hot off the recent success of its album "A Thousand Suns," rock outfit Linkin Park announced its first North American tour since 2008 Monday (Nov. 15). Dates kick off Jan. 20 in Sunrise, Fla., with shows scheduled through Feb. 26.

While the band hasn't played a full-fledged U.S. tour since 2008, Linkin Park recently completed a European tour and was voted the Best Live Act at the 2010 MTV European Music Awards.

Joining the Linkin Park on its North American tour are openers Does It Offend You, Yeah? and Pendulum, who will perform through Feb. 11, and the Prodigy, from Feb. 15-26.

Fans can expect a mix of old and new material throughout the tour, as well as a strong visual presence, according to vocalist Chester Bennington.

"A Thousand Suns" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart back in September, and eight weeks later, is still charting on the 200, this week at No. 33. The album, the band's fourth, has sold 472,000 copies so far, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"Waiting For the End," the second single off "A Thousand Suns," reaches No. 3 this week on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, which will be published Thursday (11/18) on Billboard.com. Lead single "The Catalyst" peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart back in early October, as well as No. 1 for four weeks on the Alternative Songs chart and No. 1 for five weeks on the Rock Songs chart.
