LPLStaff Posted yesterday at 01:18 AM Posted yesterday at 01:18 AM UPDATE: This show has been canceled. Please see the band’s statement: Original show thread: Four shows down in Australia! Linkin Park takes the fifth show of the tour over to Adelaide, Australia in the central part of the country next. Adelaide was a late addition to the tour, being the last Australian date added to the run. With Linkin Park skipping Perth this tour (likely due to its geographic distance in relation to the other concerts), Adelaide is as far west in the country as Linkin Park will go. And it's still pretty...east in the country. Located on the St. Vincent Gulf, Adelaide is a city Linkin Park has played three times previously - in 2007, 2010, and 2013. The 2007 show came the day after Chester broke his wrist in Melbourne, and the band ended up canceling zero shows for it. While dropping "Shadow of the Day" from that second night in Melbourne (since Chester couldn't play guitar, obviously), they kept it in the setlist in Adelaide with Mike's guitar tech Kurt playing guitar on the song. The very next show after that, armed with a brand new (second) cast, Chester resumed playing guitar. Wow! Setlist-wise in 2007, Linkin Park played their standard Set A with "Wake" and "Given Up" opening and the electric encore that featured "One Step Closer", "In The End", and "Bleed It Out". That show was released a a Digital Souvenir Package download, which you can listen to anytime. Linkin Park returned in 2010 on the A Thousand Suns World Tour to Adelaide, and debuted a brand new setlist at that show. "Wretches And Kings", "Lying From You", and "Given Up" got things going in that show, which featured "Leave Out All The Rest" in the middle of the show too in a unique move on the touring cycle. That show was also released. 2013 was the third show in Adelaide, a part of the Soundwave Festival in the country and part of the last tour Linkin Park had in Australia before this tour. Perhaps the most unique part of that show is not the setlist itself, but the fact that Mike walked on stage before "Faint" to play guitar on "Tinfoil", something he almost always did off-stage before the show. So with the brief history of the band performing in Adelaide (and that's no knock on the city - they have gotten three great, consistent shows from LP), let's take a look at what transpired at the last show in Melbourne. Where do we even begin about Melbourne? It's safe to say Linkin Park fucking loves performing in Melbourne, because seemingly every visit they have to the city, and especially Rod Laver Arena, they have some special moment occur. It just happens that way sometimes! Rod Laver is also one of their most-performed venues in the world now. Well, we have all seen Linkin Park bust out the rarities this tour. "Unshatter", "Let You Fade", and "Keys To The Kingdom" all came back to life after nearly half of a year off. Perhaps the most surprising part of that is that the last performance for all three of those (quite rare, at this point) songs is that they were ALL played in Portland in 2025. Aaaaand not since then, until Australia. Boy, if you happened to catch that Portland show, your show experience aged like fine wine. And you know what else returned in Melbourne for night 2? "A Place For My Head"! Mike celebrated by going down to the crowd to rock out. But they happened to keep "In The End" in the setlist this time too... if you know, you know! Shout out to 2013 here. As you likely have seen on social media, Emily was a bit sick in Melbourne, so Linkin Park had to cut several songs from the show. That is quite rare, but it has happened before - remember Chester had both "My December" and "P5hng Me A*wy" dropped in 2004 after being sick. And there have been a few other drops over time too. What's impressive is Emily's energy at the show in Melbourne. Where she felt under the weather vocally, she made it up with the energy on the stage... and in the crowd. In the crowd you say? Yep, remember how she jumped into the pit in Raleigh on "IGYEIH"? Well, she crowd surfed on "Two Faced" in Melbourne on the bridge. If you watch that show, check out her energy throughout - she seems to have made a conscious effort to give a bit extra to make up for it. Hey, everyone gets sick at some point or another and we're just glad she played the show! Both "Stained" and "Heavy Is The Crown" were cut, but both songs will be at other Australian shows for fans lucky enough to see them there, and who knows, maybe they pop back up at future Melbourne shows... which actually does seem likely. This is quite a nice setlist - who wouldn't want both "From The Inside" and "Keys To The Kingdom" in the same setlist? Nice, right? #JusticeForTheHuntingParty, as the kids say. What's left for Adelaide, song-wise, you ask? Well, "Given Up" is a rotation song that hasn't popped up in Australia yet so we could see that one. If the band is feeling good about "Unshatter" and "Let You Fade", we could also see those pop up. And "Stained" may get a "make-up" play after getting cut at the last show. This show is just a one night show, their first and only in Australia on this tour, but Auckland, New Zealand also gets one night after Sydney. Only three shows left after Adelaide, sadly! Maybe in the future, they can perform even more shows in Australia as it's safe to say that this tour is a smash hit with fans, the casual music fans in Australia, and the rock press there. These shows have been getting fantastic reviews so far, and some attendees in Melbourne are even saying they preferred the second night over the first, even with Emily being a bit under the weather. Well, with setlists like those, it's hard to complain about anything in Brisbane and Melbourne honestly! After this show, Linkin Park heads over to Sydney for two nights which we know will be quite exciting shows. Here's to hoping Emily feels better soon and the band brings it in Adelaide as they have all tour so far! Rock on and we'll see you over on social media! Have a great time if you are going to the show! Quote
linkindan Posted yesterday at 02:33 AM Posted yesterday at 02:33 AM Well, this is awkward now… I truly feel for the Adelaide fans - talking to a few of them on Tuesday in Melbourne, I know many people had considered cancelling trips to Melbourne/Sydney but deciding to keep plans because excitement or non-refundable bookings. Many people did cancel their plans only for this to happen. Hopefully the band can announce Adelaide in the initial shows for LP9 world tour Quote
DCrecelius Posted yesterday at 02:34 AM Posted yesterday at 02:34 AM Show has been cancelled due to illness in the band. https://x.com/linkinpark/status/2031919858582188279?s=46 Quote
MMM Posted yesterday at 05:40 AM Posted yesterday at 05:40 AM Sad, but it was predictable after watching some clips from Melbourne night 2. Let's hope that the other shows will be able to take place, they are so rarely there, but it doesn't look very promising. Fingers crossed for a full recovery as soon as possible. Quote
JZLP-Benningstrong Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago (edited) They should take advantage in having a dual vocalist band, its very likely that Emily was the one who got sick. The band should have an emergency set based around Mike, 14 tracks, the interludes, Hahn solo and you have a show. The 2017-2018 Shinoda solo shows were very interesting and he even performed tons of LP tracks. It's just a very simple solution to say we are sorry fuck your time, hotel, flights. Hardcore would love this and the papercuts will be okay and not angry/sad for not having a show. Edited 12 hours ago by JZLP-Benningstrong Quote

When you make a move like that, you signal to the market that there’s a strong chance that on the eve of a show you might not have your vocalist. I think that ends up lowering the band’s booking fee, because it makes them seem like a risky asset. At the same time, I think it would be very difficult for a festival to accept that. Imagine the day before Rock am Ring the band informing the producers that only Mike will perform. That would look bad for the band. Not to mention that saying Emily is the one who’s sick would end up bringing those stupid comments like: “I said she wasn’t good enough to replace Chester. She gets sick trying to sing Chester’s songs.” Until now, there have been two cancellations in a year and a half. If this keeps happening, that risk will become even more evident in the market. They need to reduce the number of shows. There were too many shows in Australia because there was a planning mistake (booking arenas instead of stadiums). Then they got greedy and added more shows. There were also too many shows in Latin America, with very long travel distances between them. The next tour needs to have half the number of shows that the From Zero Tour had.

I meant a Linkin Park show with Mike as the only lead singer, full band. It's just an emergency idea. Seems like they cancel 1 or 2 shows per year. I guess that for some its better to have no show instead of trying to play in some way for the fans. There are many examples of bands doing this.. Like when Metallica played without James and Jason sang most of the show plus some guests. Other bands play acoustic shows there's a band which I don't remember the name but they played their show without their vocalist and did an instrumental show. I have never experienced a show cancelation at the very last moment but i would prefer an emergency set instead of a fuck you, enjoy your hotel and flight. Quote
