The tour was officially announced the following day, on March 4, 2014 at a press conference held at Milk Studios in Los Angeles, California with Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, and Jared Leto from Thirty Seconds to Mars. The conference was broadcast on the internet through the interactive social platform VyRT. In an interview with ''Billboard'', Bennington explained that a co-headlining tour with Thirty Seconds to Mars had been a long time coming; Linkin Park, indeed, had polled their fans a number of times in order to identify which artist they would like to join them on tour and Thirty Seconds to Mars was the most sought-after band multiple times. Thirty Seconds to Mars first worked with Linkin Park in 2007, opening some European shows for the band. Set for August 2014, the Carnivores Tour showcased Linkin Park's sixth studio album ''The Hunting Party'' (2014) and Thirty Seconds to Mars' fourth studio album ''Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams'' (2013). Speaking on the tour name, Shinoda said, "'Carnivores' is a metaphor that is meant to convey an appetite for something visceral and substantive. I feel that's exactly the hunger this tour will feed." Leto added, "We are so excited to join our friends on this epic journey. It's going to be the adventure of a lifetime."〔 American rock band AFI was confirmed as the supporting act for the tour, promoting their ninth album ''Burials'' (2013).〔 The Carnivores Tour was sponsored in-part by Infinity and promoted by Live Nation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carnivores Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
