Linkin Park is set to headline the Sunset Strip Music Fest in their hometown of Los Angeles on Saturday.
The band will close out the music festival at the Roxy and Whisky A Go Go. The band has a history with the clubs.
“More than three-quarters of our early shows were on Sunset at the Roxy and Whisky. I have such vivid memories of playing those shows, promoting those shows, walking around the street handing out fliers or posters or, at that point, giving people cassettes,” Mike Shinoda told Rolling Stone.
Linkin Park kept up the tradition of promoting by walking around Hollywood with hand-drawn flyers to hand out to people.
Sunset Strip Music fest will have tents for autographs, food, beer garden, and the fest experience will to towards Linkin Park’s charity Music for Relief, which helps relief victims of natural disasters and creates awareness for global warming Los Angeles Press-Telegram reports.
Bassist Dave Farrell said to go to musicforrelief.org to become more aware about the energy issues and to reach out to those who make important decisions on a global level.
