Siemens and Linkin Park joining forces for sustainable energy supply

• Cooperation promotes Power the World

• Multimedia show during the band's tour of Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Wherever they play, the American rock band Linkin Park not only excites the crowd

with the energy of their powerful songs. In a joint initiative with Siemens, the

superstars will now also be electrifying its audiences with its performances for

sustainable power supply. The six band members will be using their tour through

Germany, Austria and Switzerland in a joint campaign with Siemens to make a clear

statement that is backed up by Power the World. In Europe in general, and

especially in Germany, wind power is making a decisive contribution to sustainable

energy supply.

Around 1.3 billion people, or 20 percent of the world's population, do not have

access to electricity. The United Nations has therefore launched an initiative and

declared the years from 2014 to 2024 to be the "Decade of Sustainable Energy for

All". One of the missions of Power the World is to support the UN Secretary

General, Ban Ki-Moon, in finding sustainable energy solutions throughout the world.

During Linkin Park's tour through eleven cities from November 3 - 20, 2014, a so-

called "power booth" - a specially equipped multimedia container set up by Siemens,

Linkin Park and Warner Music - will turn visitor's attention to Power the World. Inside

the container, a multimedia show will raise awareness about the fact that access to

electricity is unfortunately not a matter of course in other regions of the world to

motivate visitors to learn more and get involved. The fans can also take their picture

inside the container. The selfies that are taken in the container before the concert

will then be shown as part of a pre-show presentation and a drawing held for all

participants for a special "Linkin Park edition e-Smart". Power the World will also be
