So it begins. The long awaited tour of Linkin Park and Thirty Seconds To Mars. Here are the tour dates: Chester Bennington says Linkin Park's tour with Thirty Seconds to Mars has been a long time coming.  The singer tells "Billboard" they always try to keep in touch with their fans, so they polled them a number of times to see which band they should team up with for a co-headlining trek.  Bennington says Thirty Seconds to Mars was always near the top, and they were finally able to make it happen this summer.  The Carnivores tour -- which also features special guests AFI -- is scheduled to start tonight in West Palm Beach, Florida.
