2025.09.24 - Seattle, Washington

[RogueSoul]

I might've missed the due date on this one, but the night has only just begun! Linkin Park will be wrapping up the second North American leg of the From Zero World Tour TONIGHT in Seattle, Washington in the city's new arena, the Climate Pledge Arena!

 

 

This will be Linkin Park's twelfth show in the area and first in Seattle itself since 2003  - so we have a lot to catch up on. This will be their first show in the area since 2014, when they performed at the gorgeous Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington on the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars. This setlist were the first to see the band experiment with "acts," which they have since refined and adapted to the current tour! New songs like 'Rebellion,' 'Guilty All The Same,' and 'Final Masquerade' came out with guns blazing while the band took their set through emotional highs and lows. Prior to this, the band played in the city of Tacoma south of Seattle back in 2012 on the Honda Civic Tour with Incubus, delivering a rare Set C that saw them open with 'With You' featuring the Game Of Thrones theme over the extended intro, as well as other treats like 'In My Remains' and 'Victimized (w/ QWERTY).' Jumping back five years, Linkin Park played their first show of Projekt Revolution 2007 in nearby Auburn, the first show on the first tour in the band's history to feature rotating setlists! The debut of Set C saw the band open with their go-to at the time, 'One Step Closer' with the Gunshot Intro into 'Lying From You' and 'Somewhere I Belong.' 'Wake' and 'Shadow Of The Day' got their live debuts at this show, while 'No More Sorrow,' 'Bleed It Out,' and 'The Little Things Give You Away' received new extensions. This was also the first show of the DSP Program - full recordings of almost every show between July 2007 and November 2012 were released for purchase after the shows!

 

 

Linkin Park's full show at the Sleep Train Amphitheater in Auburn, Washington on July 25, 2007. This was the first Projekt Revolution show in three years, and the very first DSP to ever be released! This one features a particularly raw mix compared to others.

 

The band's last visit in Washington was in 2004 on the Winter North American Tour, their first headlining show at the Tacoma Dome. This epic setlist featured a bunch of songs we'd die to see today, including full performances of 'It's Goin' Down,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'P5hng Me A*wy.' The band's last time in Seattle proper was just two months before this show in December 2003, the second-to-last show of the year where they headlined The End's Deck The Hall Ball - a shorter set than what they played a few months later with roughly all the same songs, but Seattle did get to witness some special moments, including Davey Havok from AFI (who opened for the band earlier this year in Mexico!) joining them for 'One Step Closer' at the end of the set! Linkin Park hit Seattle earlier in the year on the Summer Sanitarium tour, opening for Metallica at the Seahawks Stadium. The set was the same as the legendary Live In Texas DVD, with epic moments like 'By Myself' with its 2003 intro, 'Figure.09,' 'From The Inside,' and more!

 

Linkin Park played in Seattle a whopping six times, the last of which was their first performance at The End's Deck The Hall Ball in December 2001 - we don't know much about this show, but we do know that the band played a short cover of Guns N' Roses' 'Sweet Child O' Mine' and that Aaron Lewis from Staind came out to sing on 'One Step Closer!' Just a month earlier, the band played their first ever show at the Tacoma Dome for the closing night of the Family Values Tour, featuring an awesome set with treats like DJ Lethal of Limp Bizkit guesting on 'Step Up' and Linkin Park (and the rest of the bands on the tour) coming out onstage during Stone Temple Pilots' set for 'Sex Type Thing,' and Chester came out to sing 'Dead & Bloated' with them as well. The band played a prank on the band Deadsy at this show too, playing golf on their stage during their show. The Ozzfest that summer brought the band to the Gorge Amphitheater for the first time, with the band opening with the epic combo of 'With You' and 'Runaway' before diving into the hits like 'Papercut' and 'Crawling.' The band kicked off their very first headlining tour ever - the Street Soldiers Tour - in January 2001 in Seattle, a show that featured the live debuts of 'Crawling,' 'Pushing Me Away,' and 'High Voltage.' 'Crawling' technically got its debut earlier in the day at a radio event with fans - The End's Endsession. 

 

We don't have the setlist or much info at all on Linkin Park's very first show in Seattle, which took place on the Kottonmouth Kings' Ridin' High Tour, but we do know it was a very special day in Linkin Park history. Their set in Seattle took place on October 24, 2000 - the release date of Hybrid Theory! Having finished his tour with The Snax, Phoenix reunited with the band in Seattle (though he didn't start playing with them until the next tour) so that they could celebrate the release of their album together and hopefully be the first to buy it at the a record store - Phoenix is quoted saying he hoped they'd sell around 3,000 copies. Little did they know at the time that a record that would change music history itself had just come out - and the rest is history. In some ways, it all really began for this band that day in Seattle, and that brings us all the way to today, where history is bound to continue to be made!

The last run of North American shows on the From Zero World Tour has definitely kept us on the edge of our seats (and for us east-coast based staff members, away from our beds), and that was no different at the last stop in Vancouver, British Columbia! The band's final stop in Canada for the year brought all the stops, with 'Crawling,' 'Lying From You,' and 'New Divide' making their way into Act I. 'Up From The Bottom' resumed its regular spot in Act II before 'Lies Greed Misery' made another appearance, while 'IGYEIH' and a verse of 'Lift Off' during 'When They Come For Me/Remember The Name' rounded up the act. 'Stained' was played in Act III for a second show in a row, before Emily and Mike noticed someone dressed in a full dog suit in the crowd before 'Numb' and things really went off the rails, from Emily barking at the crowd to the band playing a Johnny Cash-inspired 'Numb/Encore' intro, tying it all up with a country jam outro (that ended up as a punk jam) that concluded with Emily once again barking. The band seems to be having more fun than ever at these last shows with both the crowd and the setlists, rounding up the surprises for the night with 'Over Each Other' in Act IV.

 

There is really no telling what the band will whip out for the final show of this run tonight, but we can say that they have a great track record with tour-closers: Welcome To Rockville (which closed the first leg of the North American dates earlier this year) saw a surprise 'A Place For My Head' and the live debut of 'Let You Fade,' while the European Tour finale in Paris, France saw the band really experiment with the set. Seattle is queued up for Set A tonight, which was last played in Sacramento, California and featured the following rotations: 'Lying From You,' 'Up From The Bottom,' and 'New Divide' in Act I, 'Stained,' 'Lies Greed Misery,' and 'Casualty' in Act II, 'Over Each Other' in Act III, 'A Place For My Head' in Act IV, and an 'In The End'/'Faint' closer.

Who's going to the show? JPEGMAFIA will be opening this final show on the leg, and his indie hip-hop hits like 'Lean Beef Patty' and 'SCARING THE HOES' will definitely get the night off to an energetic start - and we're still holding out hope that he'll come out to guest for a song with the band tonight! Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report a beautiful Pacific Northwest day for the final night of the North American Tour, with the high of 71°F now starting dropping down to the low of 53°F - be sure to bundle up for later in the night and be ready to jam! If my ex is there, I can only apologize. This cannot be predicted in my forecast. Linkin Park will have the next month off before resuming the From Zero World Tour for its first proper leg in South America in late October and early November, hitting stops in Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina! The year will wrap up with one final show in Mexico, where the band will headline the Corona Capital festival in mid-November. 

 

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)!

A PLACE FOR MY HEAD FT POPPY

[LeonardoMF93]

Well, after a very exhausting week, I finally have time to write what I thought about these last two shows (not sure if anyone is actually interested in hearing my point of view as well).

 

I took a flight from Brazil to Vancouver and Seattle just to see the last two shows of the tour.

 

In Vancouver, I was right at the barricade, while my girlfriend and I were photographed the entire show since we were the only ones in the arena with a Canadian flag (my girlfriend is Canadian). We even ended up on Mike’s and Joe’s Instagram.

 

In Seattle, I was up in the stands.

 

Interestingly, I had infinitely more fun at the Seattle show, even though I was further away. The Canadian crowd was really unenthusiastic (and honestly, the American crowd isn’t exactly the most energetic either). Seattle also had some light effects I hadn’t seen in last year’s shows.

 

Nobody’s Listening was also amazing. Completely unexpected.

Aside from that, the shows were pretty much what I expected. Nothing too special.

 

Now, time for a well-deserved break until the three shows in Brazil in November!
