Linkin Park performed live in August 2006 at Summer Sonic, hosted by Metallica in Japan. A new song, tentatively codenamed QWERTY, leaked on numerous websites after being played at the concert. The song was significantly different from their previous work; it has a strong heavy-metal sound to it that is a step away from their previous works.
On August 29, 2006, the entire catalog of Linkin Park, including their collaborative work, was added to the iTunes music store. Linkin Park had been one of the few remaining major-label bands not selling digital versions of their music.
Mike Shinoda said recently in an interview with KROQ that the band expects their new album to be released towards the beginning of 2007. This was reconfirmed in an interview with MTV.com [3]. For more information, see Linkin Park's third studio album.
The Oct. 5th issue of Rolling Stone Magazine says the band has currently cut more than 100 songs for the new disc, which will be produced by Rick Rubin.
Both Linkin Park & Fort Minor were in Louisiana from September 7September 12, 2006, to hand out school supplies to 17 different schools affected by Hurricane Katrina.
Linkin Park will be on MTV's TRL Wednesday September 27, via webcam.
