We share a lot of fans," said Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda during the conference. "When I listen to the radio, I don't hear a lot of that visceral guitar rock right now. I feel like this is a great moment for these bands to come together and hit the road."

"This is a dream come true," added Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto. "To stand on a stage in front of the Linkin Park army and the Mars army�it's going to be an incredible adventure. It's a meeting of the minds and something people are not going to want to miss. An orgy of art and music."
