For 2007,


Linkin Park decided to make the tour ostensibly "green" by donating $1 of every ticket to American Forests through their charity Music for Relief and using biodiesel on a majority of their buses, eliminating an estimated 350 tons of carbon emissions.[1] There will also be informative booths that will show concert goers how to lower their greenhouse gas emissions.[2]

It was revealed in Revolver magazine that Muse was in the list of bands Linkin Park had picked but couldn't join Projekt Revolution as they had other commitments to deal with.

On August 22, 2007, MySpace.com streamed the concert live, allowing MySpace users to watch the concert for free from their performance at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI. The event was hosted by Matt Pinfield.

Linkin Park sold their performance from the 2007 PR tour at the merchandise booth. Each CD came with a blank disc and a special code that allowed fans to download and burn that specific Linkin Park performance from the venue it was purchased at. The price of purchase for the CD was $11.00. It was sold at every venue except for Jones Beach in Wantagh, NY.

Linkin Park has announced that it plans to host another edition of the tour this coming summer. This will be the first time the tour will also be outside of the US. Linkin Park has yet to announce a setlist for Projekt Revolution 2008, but it is expected to be similar to Projekt Revolution 2007.

On July 20, 2008 at the New England Dodge Music Center, an incident occured involving a clash between police forces and concert attendants. During Linkin Park's performance, a mosh pit broke out in the lawn area of the arena. Police Officers responded to the mosh pit by spraying dozens of fans with high doses of pepper spray. More Local Police Officers were called in, and the injured fans were rushed to the nearby hospital. In addition, reports are that fans were both ejected from the stadium and arrested by local authorities because of fears that a possible riot would occur. Currently, an investigation and possible lawsuit is being talked about over the excessive violence that occured at the concert.[6]
