Other Notes:

  • On October 7, 2008, the band posted the following statement on linkinpark.com: "Linkin Park has been forced to cancel their upcoming Music For Relief Concerts in Mainland China, Macau and Taipei as lead vocalist Chester Bennington has sustained a back injury and is under doctor's orders to refrain from traveling or any physical activities. Linkin Park sincerely regrets this unavoidable cancellation and apologizes to fans for any disappointment caused. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.
  • The concerts were organized as fundraisers to benefit Sichuan, an area ravaged by a devastating earthquake this past May. However, thanks to generous donations from concert promoter Emma Ticketmaster and Linkin Park, funds will still be contributed to the band's nonprofit organization, Music for Relief, and matched by the World Bank. These funds will benefit post-earthquake reconstruction projects in the Sichuan Province initiated by Chinese Civil Society Organizations.
  • The cancelled shows are as follows:
    • Oct. 12 - Shanghai, China - Shanghai Stadium
    • Oct. 15 - Wuhan, China - Xinhua Stadium
    • Oct. 17 - Taipei, Taiwan - Taipei Soccer Stadium
    • Oct. 19 - Beijing, China - Beijing Workers Stadium
    • Oct. 21 - Macau, China Cotai Arena - The Venetian"
  • This show was not made up.
  • The opening band for this show, Mayday, was scheduled to be a "co-headliner" with a 90 minute set, the same length as Linkin Park. Mayday was also playing the Shanghai show with the band.
