Linkin Park had the first Projekt Revolution tour in 2003, with a line up that was comprised of Mudvayne and Xzibit. One year after Ghostface Killah, Korn and Snoop Dogg were on the bill and the tour started to use two stages. There was a plan for 2005 and 2006 batch but eventually the band decided to postpone it until they have an album to promote with.
Following the previous years' successful Projekt Revolution Tour, Linkin Park has one reason behind the revival. "This is very important tour for us, so we're excited to announce the return of Projekt Revolution," Linkin Park co-frontman Chester Bennington said. "We wanna go out there and kick as much ass as we can, and with the bill we've assembled, the pressure will be on us to prove we deserve to headline it."
