RogueSoul Posted October 23 Posted October 23 After a much needed month off for both Linkin Park and the fans alike, the From Zero World Tour is back in business! The band are bringing the tour back to South America for their largest tour of the continent ever (both show-wise and attendance wise), kicking things off where it all began for the continent on this tour: in Bogotá, Colombia at the Distrito Verde on October 25, 2025! This will be the band's second performance ever in Colombia, having made their debut in the country last year in November 2024 on the first leg of the From Zero World Tour - making it less than 12 months since the band played their last show in the city! The last show was the band's first concert in South America since May 2017 at the Maximus Festival in São Paulo, Brazil (where they will play later on the tour), and the energy was unreal for their return. The band ran through Set C (with 'Burn It Down' vocals on the interludes) at this show, playing new jams like 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Casualty' (the audio of which was released officially on the deluxe edition of From Zero) alongside classics being dusted off in a new light, many of which haven't been performed in 2025 like 'Breaking The Habit' and 'Leave Out All The Rest.' While the setlist delivered with huge moments like 'My December' and 'A Place For My Head' in the encore, not everything went exactly to plan. The band experienced their first real technical difficulties of the new era, with 'The Emptiness Machine' having many issues starting from the second verse, where only the backing track was audible for the rest of the song. The band paused the show for a few minutes to sort out the issues, and played the whole song a second time by request of the crowd - to this day, Bogotá still claims one of the loudest 'Emptiness Machine' sing-a-longs of the entire tour! Another pause in the set came after 'The Catalyst,' and from there it was smooth sailing as the band ripped through the rest of the setlist. With experience now under their belt, Linkin Park are ready to rock Colombia again at an even bigger venue this time - and hopefully they'll get an unproblematic performance of 'The Emptiness Machine!' Linkin Park's full performance at the Coliseo Medplus in Bogotá, Colombia on November 11, 2024. While it feels like the setlist hasn't changed much since the start of the tour, watching this back really shows otherwise. Perhaps we'll see some different rotations on this next leg? The band's last show was in Seattle, Washington, topping off the North American Leg of the tour, which was full of fun and surprises. Ending the pre-show playlist with 'Black Hole Sun' by Soundgarden, the band launched into Set A (with the 'Castle Of Glass' theme), delivering one last setlist for the United States and keeping us doing show coverage on our toes right to the very end! Act I of the setlist featured 'Lying From You,' 'Stained,' and 'Crawling' as rotations, while Act II brought 'Castle Of Glass' (instead of 'Lies Greed Misery') and 'Casualty,' with Mike rapping verse one of 'Nobody's Listening' over his solo medley - the first time the song had appeared in a Linkin Park setlist since August 2007 in Noblesville, Indiana and the first time that specific verse appeared in a Linkin Park set since Mansfield, Massachusetts on Projekt Revolution 2007 just a week earlier. Mike also rapped this verse on the Post Traumatic Tour, during the live version of 'Lift Off' in Ludwigsburg, Germany in March 2019. Act III continued with 'Lost' with its piano start into the full band and 'Over Each Other' as the rotation, before Act IV wrapped up the main set with a punk rock-style 'Numb/Encore' intro and subsequent jam outro for 'Numb' and 'A Place For My Head.' 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' wrapped up the main set, leading to an old-school finale of 'Papercut,' 'In The End,' and 'Faint.' The band really started mixing things up on a nightly basis throughout the North American leg, and even though the South American leg isn't as long, we're sure there'll be just as many surprises between shows! Linkin Park's full show at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington on September 24, 2025. The North American leg really saw the band catch their stride with one epic show after another - and we can't wait to see how explosive these South American shows get! It's hard to say what to expect for the tour kick-off in Colombia, but it seems likeliest that the band will either reset their performance order and play Set A in Bogotá - though they could realistically whip out any of the three sets for the beginning of the leg. It doesn't seem too likely that the band will add anything new into the set now that the entirety of From Zero (deluxe tracks included) has been performed, but anything is possible - the last "revival" of an old song was 'Lies Greed Misery' at the start of the North American Leg at Boston night two, and earlier this year 'From The Inside' made its comeback in Mexico. Of Emily's favorite songs ('Where'd You Go' and 'Lies Greed Misery,' namely), the only that remains to be seen in the set is 'Blackout' - if that song made a comeback in South America, god only knows how the crowds would erupt. 'Unshatter' made its live debut in Los Angeles, California well passed the mid-way point of the tour after the band worked it up at soundcheck for a few shows, so its possible we don't see a debut (if one is coming) for a few shows. Regardless, 'Unshatter' definitely needs some more play time, as does 'From The Inside,' which had been sort of side-lined by the end of the leg. What are your predictions for this show and tour coming up? Opening the South American leg of the From Zero World Tour will be Poppy, who has been highly requested by fans to be part of the tour! After starting off as a more electronic-art pop project initially, Poppy in recent years has made the full transition to metal, delivering thrilling tracks like 'BLOODMONEY' and 'new way out.' She just dropped a new single called 'Unravel' today, and recently hit us with the ultimate metal collaboration track alongside Amy Lee of Evanescence and Courtney LaPlante from Spiritbox: 'End Of You.' Her latest record, 2024's negative spaces, is full of huge tracks as well like 'they're all around us' and 'vital,' as well as tracks that show her range like 'crystallized.' Along with collaborations with artists including BABYMETAL, Knocked Loose, and Bad Omens, Poppy has quite the discography to draw from and will definitely be an epic opener for this tour - if you can arrive early enough to see her, be sure you don't miss her! Poppy's new song 'Unravel,' which could see its live debut in Colombia! Who's going to the show? Linkin Park's South American tour continues into the next week with shows coming up in Lima, Peru and Buenos Aires, Argentina (which looks like may be streamed), and we'll have you updated on all of it. 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)!

LeonardoMF93 Posted October 24 Posted October 24 (edited) Last year’s show in Colombia was really tough. Besides the technical issues, it was clear that Emily was struggling with the altitude and the lack of oxygen. I hope they don’t face the same problems this year, but unfortunately it seems the issues started even before the show began, with the problem involving the venue.

LPLStaff Posted October 24 Posted October 24 You would think they'd plan ahead to be there 3-4 days before the show to get properly acclimated, start working out there, etc. They surely will be fine this time. It was really cool Bogota was included on the original 6 show release of dates. Not expecting anything different setlist-wise here on this leg since it is only 7 shows, but a play of Unshatter in South America on the run would be cool. Quote

It seemed there were some structural and organizational issues at the place where the show is going to happen. That’s why there was some uncertainty about whether the show would go on as planned. Adam had already addressed to reassure fans that the people in charge were aware of the situation and working on it. Quote
SinisterNL Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Highlights: Poppy From the Inside Where's you Go Production Less good: Catwalk is too long! Rain And..... DO NOT PLAY THE LAST SHOW AT THE END OF THE CATWALK. Like the whole LPU can't see you then and you should play the last song with the full band together on the stage. Quote
LPLStaff Posted Monday at 03:25 PM Posted Monday at 03:25 PM Enjoying how they are randomly throwing the rotation songs around, and even a few placements in the show. That makes it fun to follow every show. If they don't want to change the actual core of the set, then these 5-6+ rotation spots a show are a great compromise for all of the people who follow every show. Quote

Wonder if they’ll work in more rotation songs in 2026 as well. I remember you telling me (I think it was after Dallas) about how the set might look entirely different by “next year”, and now we’re at that point we talked about and honestly it kinda is. Really cool seeing how the sets have evolved over time as well. Edited Monday at 04:18 PM by xxHybridXeroxx Quote
LPLStaff Posted Monday at 06:24 PM Posted Monday at 06:24 PM It indeed has been great to watch the evolution. The only thing that "sucks" (if you can call it that) is that some REALLY good songs have not been played in 2025 - Breaking the Habit, My December, Leave Out All the Rest, Lost in the Echo (!!), etc. But they can definitely return over time. Lost in the Echo was one Emily really nailed right away too. Quote
