Linkin Park will today (Feb. 19) announce details of its third Projekt Revolution tour. The trek will feature Korn, Snoop Dogg and two other artists to be confirmed at a later date, Billboard.com can reveal. Projekt Revolution will play amphitheaters from late July into September. Previous treks have featured Cypress Hill, Adema, DJ Z-Trip, Mudvayne, Xzibit and Blindside.
Linkin Park will wrap its hugely successful Meteora tour with P.O.D., Hoobastank and Story Of The Year March 6 at Philips Arena in Atlanta. The trek is averaging $410,913 per night, according to Billboard Boxscores.
"Meteora" (Warner Bros.) debuted last March at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 3.8 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. The single "Numb" spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. Before Projekt Revolution, Linkin Park will play June 3 at the Glasgow Green Festival, June 5 at the U.K.'s Download Festival in Donington and June 9 at the Super Bock Super Rock Festival in Lisbon, Portugal.
Korn will be out behind its latest Epic set, "Take a Look in the Mirror," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 782,000 units, compared to sales of 1.4 million copies for its predecessor, 2002's "Untouchables." The group has 14 European shows on tap prior to Projekt Revolution, including a June 21 date with Metallica and appearances at Germany's Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park festivals.
As for Snoop Dogg, he has focused much of his attention on acting of late. The rapper will soon be seen in the upcoming film adaptation of the '70s TV show "Starsky & Hutch" alongside Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, as well as the comedy "Soul Plane" with rapper Method Man. He has also signed on for a remake of the football-themed film "The Longest Yard," which will co-star Chris Rock and Adam Sandler.
Snoop Dogg will play two headlining shows in California next week: Feb. 27 in Bakersfield and the following day in Fresno.
