2025.09.03 - Denver, Colorado

[RogueSoul]

September has rolled on through, and after a few days off, the From Zero World Tour is back in business, with Linkin Park bringing their next show to the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado tonight, September 3, 2025!

 

 

This will be Linkin Park's twelfth show in the Denver area, and the first in eleven years! Linkin Park last performed in the area of the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars in 2014, performing at the Fiddler's Green Amphitheater in Englewood. The band whipped out Set B, featuring a full 'With You' at the start of the show, as well as the 2014 Abridged Version of 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You' and 'Somewhere I Belong' later in the set. The band hit the same venue in 2012 on the Honda Civic Tour with Incubus (then called the Comfort Dental Amphitheater), where songs like 'Lost In The Echo,' 'In My Remains,' and 'Victimized' (w/ 'QWERTY') were being taken for a spin for the first time. Mike Einziger from Incubus came out to rip a guitar solo on 'Bleed It Out' after the band jammed 'Sabotage' by the Beastie Boys during the extended bridge!

 

The last time Linkin Park performed at tonight's venue was in 2011 at the end of the A Thousand Suns North American Tour, when the venue was called the Pepsi Center. The setlist was pretty dramatic in-line with the album aesthetic, with the epic triangular stage design giving way to rare performances of songs like 'Burning In The Skies' and a full 'Iridescent.' The band hit the Fiddler's Green Amphitheater twice on the Minutes To Midnight Tour, the last of which came in the middle of Projekt Revolution 2008. The band brought out Set Z, opening with an introduction by the Street Drum Corps before 'No More Sorrow' and 'Faint' brought the night to life. Along with rare tracks from the era like 'Wake 2.0' and 'In Pieces,' the setlist came complete with other rarities like an album version 'Pushing Me Away' and the MTM Tour Version of 'Cure For The Itch.' The venue was the site of the final night of Projekt Revolution 2007, on September 3, 2007 - exactly 18 years to this date! How time flies. This set opened with 'No More Sorrow' into 'Lying From You,' an equally nasty combination, and featured more tracks from the record like 'The Little Things Give You Away' and 'Hands Held High.' The outro of 'One Step Closer' was extended for the first time in jam format, which gave birth a couple months later to the proper extended outro we all know and love today.And here's another fun fact: Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance got married to Lyn-Z from Mindless Self Indulgence after this show!

Linkin Park visited the Denver area twice on the Meteora World Tour, the last of which was their own headlining performance on Projekt Revolution 2004. This setlist was probably one of the best the band has ever concocted, and featured innumerable massive moments, like the Hip-Hop Medley with 'Step Up,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'It's Goin' Down,' the Blood, Anger, Suffering Outro Transition between 'Figure.09' and 'From The Inside,' and the band's cover of 'Wish' by Nine Inch Nails (side note: I just saw them play this song yesterday in Brooklyn!) in the encore. In 2003, the band opened for Metallica on their Summer Sanitarium Tour, taking them to the Invesco Field at Mile High. While the setlist was likely the same as the Live In Texas DVD, we actually don't have a confirmed setlist for this one - but we do know that for the second time ever, Chester joined Deftones for 'My Own Summer (Shove It)' during their set!

 

The Hybrid Theory World Tour brought Linkin Park to Denver four times, with the last being at the Pepsi Center on the Family Values Tour in November 2001. Aaron Lewis of Staind came out for 'One Step Closer,' while the rest of the set featured goods like 'Step Up' and 'Pushing Me Away'. In June, Linkin Park performed on Ozzfest 2001, opening with 'With You' and 'Runaway' for the first time on the tour and also bringing tracks like 'A Place For My Head' and 'Forgotten' into the mix. We don't have sets for the band's first two shows in Denver (at the Gothic Theater in Englewood on the Street Soldiers Tour in February 2001 and opening for the Kottonmouth Kings on their Ridin' High Tour in October 2000, just days before Hybrid Theory was released), so if you were there and remember any info, be sure to let us know!

 

 

Linkin Park's full show from Fiddler's Green Amphitheater in Englewood, Colorado on August 30, 2004. Everyone's seen the Camden 2004 performance, but have you seen this other proshot from Projekt Revolution 2004 released with the Meteora 20th Anniversary Edition?

 

Linkin Park ended August's touring schedule in Kansas City, Missouri, and really changed things up for the last show of the month in Set B ('Iridescent' theme)! Act I immediately saw changes, with the band moving 'Up From The Bottom' up for the second time ever - the last time this happened was on the closing night of the European Tour this summer in Paris, France! The surprises kept rolling in Act II, where 'Cut The Bridge' made its return with the short Moscow Intro, and opener Jean Dawson finally appeared onstage with the band for 'Castle Of Glass!' The second verse of 'When They Come For Me' appeared during Mike's Solo, and 'Given Up' topped off the rotations at the end of Act II. 'Good Things Go' made its scheduled appearance in Act III, but the band flipped things up for the end of the set, rotating in 'Let You Fade' into the set for the first time at the end of the main set before 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' closed it up. As they closed the main set, Set B was topped off with 'In The End' and 'Faint' in the encore for the first time. Seems like the band is getting really creative with the sets at the mid-point of the tour!

 

At this point, it's hard to say what we can expect from the setlist in Denver! The band are slated to bring out Set C ('Burn It Down' theme) at this show, which was last performed in Minneapolis, Minnesota over a week ago. The set last featured 'Points Of Authority,' 'Crawling,' and 'New Divide' in Act I, 'Castle Of Glass' and 'IGYEIH' in Act II, 'Stained' in Act III, and 'Let You Fade' in Act IV. It's anyone's best guess as to what'll happen with Act I, but there's a number of things we'll be looking out for in the rest of the set, too. With Jean Dawson now guesting on 'Castle Of Glass,' will the song be rotated out for 'Lies Greed Misery' or remain a staple for a few more shows before Jean Dawson ends his run on the tour? 'Stained' moved around the set quite a bit at recent shows, so it'll be interesting to see if it keeps its position in Act III. With 'Let You Fade' being moved to Set B and 'A Place For My Head' in Set A, 'From The Inside' could be lined up for Set C - rumor has it that the band soundchecked 'Unshatter' at the last show, too, so it could finally be time for the song to make its live debut! Of course, we'll also be looking out to see if 'Up From The Bottom' gets moved up again or keeps its regular position. What are your guesses for tonight's setlist?

Who's going to the show? Jean Dawson opens the show and will possibly be guesting with the band later on in the night, so be sure to check his set out if you can make it on time! Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting a beautiful and hot day ahead for Denver, with temperatures soaring up to 89°F in the day and down to a brisk 60°F at night with nothing but sunny skies ahead, so dress light and be ready to jam! Linkin Park's tour continues this week to the west coast with a show in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday before taking a week off, returning on September 13 with a hometown show in Los Angeles, California. 

 

With all the recent Linkinpedia updates we've been doing as far as the show pages show, we'd like your help in expanding them further! We are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 tour, including wristbands, tickets, setlists, exclusive pop-up store content, and more. If you have anything to contribute, check out our thread on the matter and submit your pictures directly to us - if they meet the mark we will get them uploaded to the show pages and credit you (and also blur your information out where applicable)! Be sure to check out the site to see our recent changes to the show pages (including marked rotation songs, album breakdowns, and more statistics) if you haven't already, and enjoy the upgrades to our LPLive and Linkinpedia servers with faster loading times on both sites! We've also recently launched an LPLive Newsletter for those looking for more of a TL;DR version of what's going on with the tour than my pre-show posts - we'll be sending it out every couple of weeks so as to not flood your inbox, but we'll be bringing you an overview of both tour and general news updates in these, so be sure to sign up if you haven't already!

 

We'll have you covered on everything the band does at this show and everything they whip out for the rest of the year, so be sure to sign up on the forums and follow us on social media (Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook)!

Fantastic post, as always! Man, I'm gonna miss the tour once is finished...

 

BTW in two days marks the anniversary of the September 5th "secret show", who would have thought that we would be in the middle of a full tour?

Thank you! At the rate this tour is growing, I don't think we'll be getting any breaks any time soon 😅 Gladly the whole team is helping out so we have a variety of posts coming throughout the tour to mix it up. Got things moving like a well oiled machine behind the scenes 😎

 

Wonder if they'll mention the comeback show tonight or in Phoenix.

Show was great. My first since September 5, 2012!

 

Notes that I remember:

 

Countdown song was something by John Denver

 

There was really bad feedback for a moment before the outro to Crawling but the whole band paused a beat and were fully in sync which was really impressive 

 

Lift Off demo verse on Mike Solo

 

Emily put her mic in front of Phoenix and tried to get him to rap on Faint
