2025.10.28 - Lima, Peru

[RogueSoul]

The From Zero World Tour is back on the road, and it's already off to a massive start in South America! The band continue their streak of comebacks in continent with their next show in Lima, Peru at the Estadio San Marcos on October 28, 2025 - their second show in the country ever!

 

 

Linkin Park's first and only other performance in the country was in 2017, the third of four shows on the One More Light South American Tour that started the cycle. Opening with the legendary 'Roads Untraveled' and 'Fallout' mashup, the band launched into 'Talking To Myself,' 'Burn It Down,' and 'The Catalyst,' leaving a statement with their opening run. The band's headlining set had just debuted at the previous show in Santiago, Chile, seeing the addition of 'Waiting For The End' and 'Invisible' (being played in front of a proper audience for the first time), as well as the full band live debut of 'One More Light.' Mike spoke about the title track at the show, explaining that they made the decision to have a title track in the first place because the song captured the core of the album, and they wanted to shine a little extra light on it. Other tracks from One More Light made it into the set, including 'Good Goodbye' and 'Battle Symphony.' This tour was almost as much fun as the From Zero World Tour has been to follow, and it's one we at LPLive will never forget! The good energy in Peru will definitely keep up at this show!

 

 

The 2017 stop was one that was commonly known at the time around the fan community as "the show that sold out twice" - the initial demand for Linkin Park in Lima was so high that the show sold out immediately. The promoter received a lot of requests for another show from fans, but commented that the band's schedule would only allow them to perform one show in Lima. Instead, the stadium was restructured to allow thousands more seats for sale at a later time... which also sold out immediately. This show was attended by fans across the world as it was a new destination for the band, and these fans reported a full-on carnival/festival-type of atmosphere in the streets outside the venue for days beforehand. 

 

ALSO... one of Chester's favorite gifts he's ever received at a show... from the Lima 2017 show!
 

 

If you have not seen the show, you should definitely check out the full performance as that is a really good One More Light era show... to a massive crowd!

 

 

Linkin Park's debut show in Lima, Peru at the Estadio Nacional on May 11, 2017! The 2017 South American Tour was a wild ride to cover, much like this one is shaping up to be!

 

Linkin Park kicked off their South American tour in Bogotá, Colombia, also performing in the country for their second time ever! The band brought out Set A ('Castle Of Glass' theme) to start off the run, a massive opening of Inception Intro A into 'Somewhere I Belong.' Act I saw 'Popints Of Authority,' 'Up From The Bottom' out of its regular position, and 'Crawling' as rotations before 'From Zero (Intro)' into 'The Emptiness Machine' wrapped up the first act. Act II saw 'Over Each Other' where 'Up From The Bottom' is usually played and the return of 'Lies Greed Misery' and 'IGYEIH' as rotations - but the surprises didn't end there. During the act finale, 'One Step Closer,' opening act Poppy came out to perform the song with them! 'Stained' moved into the Act III rotation after 'Lost,' while 'From The Inside' made its return to the Act IV rotation. 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' closed out the main set, leaving for an epic ending of 'Papercut,' In The End,' and 'Faint' as the encore. Despite there being no Colin Control jams for 'Numb' at this show, Mike did whip out Verse 3 of 'Until It Breaks' during his solo medley, 'A Place For My Head' during the bridge of 'Bleed It Out,' and played Depeche Mode's 'Enjoy The Silence' over the extended intro of 'Overflow.' A pretty massive start to the leg!

 

 

Linkin Park's full show at Vive Claro - Distrito Cultural in Bogotá, Colombia on October 25, 2025. A huge tour opener for South America, we can only expect the shows to get bigger and better from here!

 

With Set A starting off the leg, it seems like Set B ('Iridescent' theme) is most likely next for Lima. The set rotations change based on whatever the band is feeling for the city, but we can take a look back at the last Set B as reference for what could be coming. The setlist was last performed in Portland, Oregon a few shows before the North American Tour wrapped up. Act I was pretty much the same as it was in Bogotá: 'Points Of Authority,' 'Up From The Bottom,' and 'Crawling,' though Act II looked a little different, with 'Unshatter' being performed in the normal 'Up From The Bottom' spot. 'Castle Of Glass' and a rare 'Keys To The Kingdom' were also unleashed upon Portland for the band's first show in the city in twenty-one years. 'Stained' adorned Act III's rotation like in Bogotá, but 'Let You Fade' made its way into Act IV, making it the first setlist to feature all three bonus tracks from From Zero. 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' closed this show verse the 'Faint' closer, too. Anything is possible with how the band plays around with the setlist nowadays, though songs still remaining to appear on this leg include: 'Castle Of Glass' (this one is pretty much guaranteed to pop up), 'Keys To The Kingdom,' 'Lying From You,' 'Casualty,' 'Unshatter,' 'Let You Fade,' 'A Place For My Head,' and 'Good Things Go,' so the band has a lot of potential to draw from for tonight. What do you think will make an appearance for Peru?

 

Opening the leg is none other than one of metal's top women right now: Poppy! Her blend of electronica, pop, and metal has led her to new heights of popularity in recent years, and her opening spot on the From Zero World Tour is certainly a welcome treat! Her set opens with 'have you had enough' from her latest record, 2024's Negative Spaces before launching into live classic 'BLOODMONEY.' Other cuts from the new record include 'the cost of giving up' and 'they're all around us,' while older tracks such as 'Scary Mask' and 'Concrete' keep things going through the set. She whips out her collaboration with Bad Omens, 'V.A.N.' in her set as well, closing things out with 'new way out.' That's not all the action you'll get from her, as she guests with the band during 'One Step Closer,' as well! Be sure to get to the venue early to catch her set if you can make it!

 

 

Linkin Park and Poppy performing 'One Step Closer' live at Vive Claro - Distrito Cultural in Bogotá, Colombia on October 25, 2025! Expect this to be a normal occurrence for the tour - so get ready for it in Peru!

 

Who's going to the show? I would like to apologize to the people of Colombia as I forgot to do a weather report in the last post... hopefully it was nice out! As for Lima, you're looking at a typical mostly cloudy and humid day - temperatures will be up to 22°C and down to 16°C at night, so stay dry and get ready to jam! The From Zero South American Tour continues this week with a show in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Halloween that'll be broadcast live on Flow TV before continuing to Santiago, Chile at the start of 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)!
