The multi-platinum band have been fusing electro, hip-hop, metal and alternative rock to the delight of disaffected masses for sixteen years, up to their Living Things album of June this year which has already sold gold and topped charts around the world.

Chester and the boys will be joined on the side shows by Stone Sour, the grunting rock side project for Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and Jim Root (who are preparing a two-part album House Of Gold And Bones to be released in October this year and early next year).

The two monumental shows go on sale next Friday 14 September from 9am from Ticketmaster for Sydney and Ticketek for Melbourne.

Linkin Park/ Stone Sour Sidewaves
Tuesday 26 February – Entertainment Centre, Sydney
Wednesday 27 February – Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
