‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’: Linkin Park Performs Free Show for Moscow Premiere (Video)
Linkin Park at “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” premiere in Moscow.
MOSCOW – The US alternative band Linkin Park played an outdoor show in Moscow, near Red Square, on Thursday in support of the world premiere of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
The entrance to the show was free, but only to those who won tickets through the FM station Energy and men’s magazine Maxim, which has helped to keep attendance to figures acceptable in the city’s historic center.
“Linkin Park have always been large Transformers fans,” the movie’s director Michael Bay states in a news conference a few hours before the show. “They do very ‘movie-esque’ kind of music. We’ve had a good run – their tracks for the first two movies became No. 1 hits, and their song for this motion picture fitted perfectly.”
In addition to “Iridescent” from the soundtrack of the third Transformers movie, Linkin Park performed two dozen songs, mostly from their most recent album, 2010’s A Thousand Sins.
Bay and Transformers star Shia LaBeouf, who also showed up in Moscow for the premiere, were seen in the VIP area during the concert.
