The Pulse of Radio reports: LINKIN PARK will sport a brand new stage set and production when the band heads out on its North American tour, which begins on February 12 in Omaha, Nebraska. During a teleconference with reporters on Friday (January 11), co-vocalist Mike Shinoda revealed that ticket demand in some cities has led the band to open up the entire arena and give the group a chance to play in the round. "A number of shows are being sold at 360 degrees," he said. "So that means that the stage is obviously set up for a 360 degree show, and a number of venues, such as Staples Center, Madison Square Garden, they sold out to 270 degrees, so now we opened it up to 360. So it's a great thing that the shows are selling out and we're able to open them up and play in the round."

The New York show at the Garden on February 21 and the Los Angeles show at the Staples Center on March 4 are the only confirmed 360-degree shows so far.
