Linkin Park's official website has confirmed that they will be headlining with My Chemical Romance for the Bamboozle Festival, taking place on May 5 and May 6 2007 in New Jersey. The concert will be in East Rutherford, at Giants Stadium parking lot. Mike said that we can expect to hear many of the new songs off of their upcoming 2007 release.

In a recent interview with Blender Magazine, the December 2006 issue, the band almost revealed the name of the new album. Chester said it will be titled T... and T..., a fill in the blank puzzle. The interviewer guessed that it might be Trials and Tribulations. However, in a more recent interview Phoenix stated that the album title hasn't been chosen yet.

The band also revealed that the studio they are recording in was home of the famous old time gangster Benjamin Bugsy Siegel, and also the home of Harry Houdini's mistress. The band revealed also that they are using vintage guitar, and drums out of wood. The album has been said by Blender to be due by February of 2007.

According to the Linkin Park Association, the new edition of Blender Magazine states currently that Linkin Park's new album will be out in March 2007. However, other sources indicate the album will be released February 20th 2007. This has caused for quite some debate and frustration amongst fans on various Linkin Park message boards.

Linkin Park performed live in August 2006 at Summer Sonic, hosted by Metallica in Japan. A new song, tentatively codenamed Qwerty and also referred in various websites as Behind Your Lies, leaked on numerous websites after being played at the concert. They also performed "Reading My Eyes", a song from their Xero demo tape. Qwerty (live and studio version), Reading My Eyes (live) and other exclusive live and studio tracks are available on Linkin Park Underground V6.0 Limited Edition Fan Club CD.
