We're going to be going out every night in December if this keeps up with the news of another massive band coming to Oz.

We have just got word that American rap/rockers Linkin Park will bring their hostile, angst-ridden sound to Australia this December.

Music reporter Nui Te Koha told us: "We can exclusively reveal that Linkin Park is coming here in December. They'll be here right in the middle of Bon Jovi. This will be an arena tour so it will be Rod Laver Arena."

The band will be playing songs from their new album A Thousand Suns, which comes out September 13. The video clip above is a 30-second snippet of their first single "The Catalyst" taken from the new album.

The album is co-produced by Rick Rubin, the man behind the Chili Peppers classic Blood Sugar Sex Magick, and Linkin Park rapper Mike Shinoda.

Here's the tracklisting:
01. The Requiem
02. The Radiance
03. Burning In The Skies
04. Empty Spaces
05. When They Come For Me
06. Robot Boy
07. Jornada Del Muerto
08. Waiting For The End
09. Blackout
10. Wretches And Kings
11. Wisdom, Justice, And Love
12. Iridescent
13. Fallout
14. The Catalyst
15. The Messenger
