LP Underground Tour was the second concert tour by American rock band Linkin Park. It was launched in support of Linkin Park's official fan-club "Linkin Park Underground" and the released EPs by the club. The tour started in February 2003, and ended in March 2003. The duration of the tour was a month. The last show played by the band was in support of their second album Meteora.

Background

The tour was announced on the official website of the fan club. The tour took place in two continents, through five different countries, including Germany, Italy, France, United Kingdom and United States. The tour is partially known to be a very rough tour, because many fans damaged themselves during the shows, mainly while playing "One Step Closer" and "A Place for My Head". Chester stopped the song (With You) after he saw two people fell down in the pit. He roughly said "The next day, all the news should talk of that show as a nice event where guys go to have fun and NOT a way to damage ourself". All the tickets for the tour were only available for the fan club members, except the show at Detroit because it was filmed as a part of MTV $2 Bill. Meteora included tracks like "Lying From You", "From the Inside" and "Easier to Run" recorded live during the tour as "Digital deluxe, South Korean and Indonesian/Thai cassette tour edition bonus tracks". The EP "LP Underground 4.0" included Easier to Run and Figure.09 recorded live during the tour. Linkin Park's remix album "Reanimation" included One Step Closer recorded live during the tour as "iTunes edition bonus tracks". "Blindside" were Special guests during the United States leg.

Opening Acts

The following bands were the opening acts for Linkin Park on different occasions:

  • Emil Bulls
  • Onepity
  • Set list

    This set list is representative of the average set list throughout tour.

    Note: A lot of fans guess that "Numb" was debuted on this tour, it wasn't til the Boost Mobile Pro of Skateboarding show in June 2003. It was either this show or the first show of the Summer Sanitarium tour that "Numb" was debuted along with "Figure.09". This show would've just been a rehearsal run for the Summer Sanitarium tour to come.
