Hey dude. I feel your pain! I'm also from Glasgow, Scotland also and let me tell you I've been waiting 8 years for them to do a show here since my very first show in 2003! But with that said I decided to go to England for them man. Been to 4 shows over there so far and met them at London back in 2007! Though I have been turned down 3 times after that for a M&G oh well...I got front/2nd row anyway for most of them. I suggest that you should travel to England to see them. I don't think they will come here any time soon man...

I know it sucks! I don't have a job myself yet but somehow I still manage to go to a few shows over to England. Keep in mind it's not the band, it's the tour managers fault for not booking them anywhere around here...

Ireland isn't part of the UK, not unless you mean Northern Ireland which is part of the UK

Come on guys, the UK as a whole gets a generous helping of concerts every tour, be thankful for that. If you only look at the individual countries within the UK and keep asking "Why don't they come here?" you will only be disappointed. Look at the UK as a whole and you will realize the generous helpings of gigs the UK gets, compared to some other countries, both in Europe and further afield. Sure, it can cost some money to go to these, but not nessicarily any more than some US fans will pay to cross to the other side of their State. Last time I checked, none of us were exactly whopping big countries with enormous populations all buying LP records.

Don't look at this situation as "England getting all the gigs" and "Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland getting snubbed by Linkin Park". They won't even look at it that way. They look at the United Kingdom as ONE country (as they are within their rights to do so) and assign concerts to some of the UK's largest cities and venues. Not surprisingly, most of the UKs largest cities (MOST, not all) are in England.

For example, Adam, I know what it's like having to travel to concerts dude, it can cost a bit and be a bit of a hassle, but come on man, Yorkshire to Newcastle is a stroll down the road compared to the traveling that some hardcore LP fans from abroad are prepared to do. And from Linkin Park's point of view, after a massive world tour trying to fit as many continents, countries and states into a few months of travel, they aren't going to be looking at a map and saying "Oh, hold on, we forgot about Yorkshire!" Don't take it as me trying to be a dick, I understand your position (I'm from Aberdeen, Scotland heading to London in a couple of weeks to see them) but at the end of the day, I respect their commitment to touring.

 

Hope you all get to see them someday soon guys!
