What a great way to return from a holiday weekend! There's nothing more rejuvenating than being offered the opportunity to speak with three bona fide superstars to chase away the “partied too hard” mid-summer bash hangover many of us have each year as an excuse to get trashed to celebrate our country's independence. We will liven up your July Monday night with vocalists from three of the best bands around from a tour that has become another grand American tradition, the Projekt Revolution summer tour! This will be the fifth year out of the last eight that Linkin Park will headline an eclectic group of performers, carefully selected to satisfy the broadest spectrum of taste, from ultraviolet to infrared and all the shades and hues in between. Joining us for this spectacular Rockline will be Linkin Park's own Mike Shinoda, solo artist Chris Cornell and Alex Varkatzas of Atreyu. 2008 marks the first time that the tour was taken outside North America.  Performances have already been held in Germany and England, with the UK date boasting the largest attendance for any venue in the tour's storied history. But all of that is indeed history. We're poised to point toward the future as the fun begins in the Boston area on July 16 and continues for two dozen dates, culminating in The Woodlands just outside Houston on August 24. There are several websites you can visit to glean further information about the show, including LinkinPark.com which will redirect you, and those of other stellar guests on the tour such as ChrisCornell.com and AtreyuRock.com There are also MySpace and Facebook sites available for perusal as well.

Let's take a moment and inform you about the entire line up for Projekt Revolution. Joining Linkin Park on the Main Stage are Chris Cornell, Busta Rhymes, The Bravery and Billy Howerdel's new band Ashes Divide. The Revolution Stage will provide plenty of mosh pit action with Atreyu headlining, 10 Years (just scheduled for their own ROCKLINE appearance on August 11, in the midst of the tour), Hawthorne Heights, Armor for Sleep and the Street Drum Corps. We told you there's something to pique your interest and liven up a summer day.

But the focus for our upcoming show will be on the three gentlemen who will be taking your calls, answering your questions and allowing us to play some of their fantastic music. Each of our guests performs distinct and compelling music and narrowing it down to two songs from each artist will be a delightful challenge. Here's a little tip, if you want to participate in this show and speak with one of your Rock heroes, call early as we expect this to be a night of heavy phone activity, for very obvious reasons.

Yes indeed, what a way to get back into your weekly rhythm as we offer a chance to join us on the air and connect with artists of the highest caliber, Mike Shinoda, Chris Cornell and Alex Varkatzas and to discuss this newest,  fantastic edition of The Projekt Revolution Tour for 2008. Where? Only on ROCKLINE, of course!
