Fans have another way to support Linkin Park now that a lot of the band equipment the group used has been put for auction to raise funds for a charity.
Linkin Park Band Equipment on Sale
On April 2, online marketplace Reverb announced that it has teamed up with Techno Empire to auction more than 200 instruments used by the rock band either on stage or in the studio.
“Starting on Wednesday, April 4, Reverb users can head to the Techno Empire Reverb Shop to browse through nearly 200 pieces of gear that have been retired from regular use in the studio and on the road by Linkin Park over their more than 15-year career,” Reverb wrote.
Putting the band equipment on sale only means that fans can own a piece of the band’s history through their instruments including the Theremin that Mike Shinoda used in their live performances in 2010, and a megaphone Brad Delson used in 2011.
In addition to these, the band is also parting ways with its multiple exclusive models of the Open Labs Neko XXL computer keyboard workstation, marking the first time that a gear built specifically for Linkin Park is offered to the public.
The auction already went live on April 4 and the proceeds will benefit the non-profit organization the band founded, Music for Relief. The program is intended to aid victims of natural disasters.
Linkin Park rose to fame in 2000 with its debut album, Hybrid Theory. It sold over 11 million copies, making it the best-selling rock album of the 21st century. In 2017, the band was forced to cancel its tour following the death of lead singer Chester Bennington in July.
