Taking Back Sunday And Saosin Join Projekt Revolution Tour

Taking Back Sunday – singer Adam Lazzara, guitarist/singer Fred Mascherino, guitarist Eddie Reyes, bassist Matt Rubano, and drummer Mark O'Connell - are a New York-based melodic hardcore quintet whose latest album, Louder Now, skyrocketed to Number Two on Billboard's Top 200 chart a week after its April 23, 2006, release, scanning more than 157,000 units. Now gold-certified, the album has spawned two blockbuster Modern Rock hit singles "MakeDamnSure" and "Liar (It Takes One To Know One)," led to three sold-out tours and a MTV Video Music Award nomination. The band have sold 2.5 million records worldwide, with Louder Now marking their third consecutive gold album.

Saosin have been tearing up stages around the world since the September 26, 2006 release of their debut self-titled album on Capitol Records. In support of the release, Saosin has performed to ecstatic crowds along the Taste of Chaos Tour, both international and North America, and also alongside Senses Fail and Bleeding Through.

Warner Bros. artist Linkin Park announce the fourth installment of Projekt Revolution beginning July 25th and culminating on September 3. Produced by Live Nation and partnered with Major League Baseball, “Halo 3” for Xbox 360, Monster Energy Drink, etnies, and Nowwhat.com, Projekt Revolution is a unique tour experience that merges a variety of music styles personally selected by the band. “I couldn’t be happier with the group of artists joining us on Projekt Revolution this summer…” says co-vocalist Chester Bennington, “Linkin Park is thrilled to be joined by this amazing group of artists and I know the audience will share in our excitement.” Fans can expect to see Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, HIM, Placebo and Julien-K on the Main Stage and Mindless Self Indulgence, Saosin, The Bled, Styles of Beyond and Madina Lake on the Revolution Stage. Previous Projekt Revolution alumni include Korn, Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, Xzibit, Mudvayne, Adema, Blindside and DJ Z-Trip.

Projekt Revolution and Music For Relief have been working hard at making this event an environmentally conscious effort. Besides making the tour a “Green” tour Projekt Revolution and Music for Relief will be donating $1 from each ticket to give to American Forests for their Global ReLeaf program to plant trees to help reduce global temperatures.

Tickets go on sale nationwide on May 19th. The few dates not announced due to radio shows will be announced shortly. Tickets will be available at www.livenation.com.
