Posted on by

 Linkin Park has launched a mysterious 100-hour countdown timer on its web site and official social media accounts. The same countdown timer was shared by the Instagram account of Welcome To Rockville, adding to longtime speculation that some of the band’s surviving members will perform at next year’s edition of the Danny Wimmer Presents-produced festival, and likely all of their 2025 festivals, as well as other major music festivals. Past announcements of major bands booked for DWP fests for the following year such as Metallica, Slipknot, Foo Fighters, Guns N Roses and Pantera are announced ahead of full lineups which follow after. For months on end different people in the music industry have been dropping rumors that some members of Linkin Park will reunite next year for a tour or a tribute tour with a female singer. Rumors connected to the band includes Amy Lee of Evanescence, Hailey Williams of Paramore, and also potentially Deryck Whibley of Sum 41, who are retiring at the end of their current tour in January 2025. Linkin Park has been inactive as a regular band other than legacy releases and boxed sets since the death of frontman Chester Bennington in 2017. The countdown timer is scheduled to end on Wednesday, August 28 at 11:00 a.m. PDT.  Continue reading →

FESTIVAL REVIEW: Sonic Temple Art and Music Festival, Live at Crew Stadium Part 1

Posted on by

 

Sonic Temple Art And Music Festival returned to Columbus, Ohio for the first time after taking three gap years. 

Let’s begin with a little context. The inaugural instance of Sonic Temple was in 2019. Leading up to the event, festival promoter Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP) had discontinued an arrangement with AEG Presents to jointly produce Rock On The Range, the festival in Columbus, Ohio that Sonic Temple replaced.
