2026.06.23 - Rivas-Vaciamadrid, Spain (Night 1)

[RogueSoul]

We're truly in the final stretches now, folks. Linkin Park's From Zero World Tour continues with its final two-night residency of the whole run, with the band returning to headline their own shows in Madrid, Spain for two nights at the Auditorio Miguel Rios, starting tonight, June 23, 2026!

 

With a headlining festival show already under their belts from a few shows ago at O Son do Camiňo in Santiago de Compostela, Spain has just gotten their first taste of the band in the new era and are ready to keep the party going! Opening with Inception Intro A ('Castle Of Glass' theme) into 'Lying From You,' the band delivered a full setlist at the festival while also giving their all. Songs like 'New Divide,' 'Stained,' 'Good Things Go,' 'Over Each Other,' and even a rare performance of 'With You' blessed the audience on their first show back in Spain, adding to the band's already hectic history there (check the previous pre-show post for a full rundown on great shows including the legendary Puerta de Alcalá from 2010)! The action carried on into the band's next show: a headlining performance at Portugal's Rock in Rio Lisboa festival, where the band ran through more tracks including 'A Place For My Head,' 'IGYEIH,' and an incredibly emotional rendition of 'Waiting For The End.' The action's not over in the Iberian Peninsula just yet for Linkin Park with two more headlining shows ready to keep the history books coming!

With two nights in Madrid, we're sure the band will change up the setlist a good amount between shows! It seems we've seen just about everything the band has to offer setlist-wise on this tour so far, though some notable tracks have been missing, including 'Given Up,' 'Castle Of Glass,' 'Leave Out All The Rest,' and 'Keys To The Kingdom.' Linkin Park seem to have a comfortable amount of rotations set in for this tour, and these tracks seem to not have made it into Europe for the final run, but perhaps they have one more shot at the limelight between these two nights in Spain! And of course we'd love to see 'With You' get a little more air time before all is said and done, with only five shows total left on the entire world tour including this one. It's not impossible to think the band may have something up their sleeve for this final two-night stand, but we're sure the setlists will deliver no matter what!

 

Who's going to the show? Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting that Linkin Park are flying straight into the belly of the beast with this one, with a powerful heatwave currently over the western side of Europe. It will be dangerously hot today with a high of 39°C (that's 102°F for my fellow Americans), so please stay hydrated (seriously), dress light, and try to stay in the shade throughout the day when you can because it will be a hot one. Linkin Park's second night at the venue takes place tomorrow (Wednesday) before the band continues to Firenze, Italy for another headlining show.

Im PUMPED. Will be there with my juve shirt, lpu pit early entry. 

Hoping for a or b intro, emptiness opening, igyeih, gtg and a BIO closer.

And why not, maybe a signed hat or a pick. 

Adding to your forecast, sun will be behind the stage until around 19, hopefully low enough to be shady and bit cooler.

Bad bunnys security was spraying water and giving plenty of bottles, hopefully they do the same here

A scenario featuring "Emptiness Machine" as the opener and "Bleed It Out" as the closer—with "IGYEIH" and "Good Things Go" in between—won't happen. That's because "IGYEIH" only appears in the setlist where "Faint" is the closer, and "Good Things Go" is only in the setlist that includes "Unshatter" as the heavy song; furthermore. "Bleed It Out" only serves as the closer in the setlist that features "Unshattered" and "Good Things Go."

I was at both of the local events. Soooo hot here (it's funny for me to say this cuz I live in one of the hottest town in Spain, with 40-45°C is pretty common at this time of the year).

 

So so ready for both shows, 3rd and 4th time watching them in Spain (i saw them twice the last couple of years in Germany).

[LPLStaff]

It's great that they are becoming so popular in other countries outside of Germany, France, and the UK, which are now able to support them playing 3 shows (2 at the same venue). Love to see this.

 

With so many good rotation songs at the first show in Spain, they really opened it up to a lot of stuff here. You could see From the Inside, Lost in the Echo, Let You Fade, etc come in at these shows.

You surely are fun at parties

[Cesar656]

They've been popular here since the very beginning.

 

My bet it's that promotores didn't want to take any risk.

 

But now, the tables have turned and I'm happy for that. Better late than never.

 

My teenage self didn't imagine we would see not only 3 dates, but the events they've prepared.

 

I'm from Madrid and I was 17 when they played Next to my home (Palacio de Vistalegre) now I'm 40.

 

Hell, time flies.

 

I can say that the only shows that I missed (in Spain) where in 2001.

 

But I've been in Festimad, EMA's, Download 2017, O son do camiño, and these two nights.

 

BTW, bring water, sun protection, shades, and of course prepare to enjoy.

I'm disappointed; the sound in the pit was very bad.

Yep. In fact we were screaming "volumen, volumen".

What happened? 

Very low volume and you could only listen to the fans around you? 

[Cesar656]

Was at lpu pit, volume was perfect. What pit were u in?

[LPLStaff]

Insane set at this show. All of the rotation songs, wow.

Pista General. The volume was very low back there and Mike's and Em's voices couldn't be heard at all.

Yep. The entire first act was just with our own voices.

It's strange - I saw three different setlists here on the page; it kept changing. At first, "Lying From You" was the second song and "Lost in the Echo" the eleventh; later, "Points of Authority" was second and "Lying From You" eleventh; and now it's "Points of Authority" and "Lost in the Echo" - weird. I prefer "Lying From You" to "Lost in the Echo." It's great that "New Divide" was in the set; I think it's much better live than "Crawling." "Crawling" is a great song, but not quite as good live. And it's a shame "Unshatter" wasn't played—for me, it's the best of the three Heavy songs currently being performed. I also think it's a real shame that Linkin Park didn't play "Keys to the Kingdom" in Europe in 2026.

Fun note emily rapped the first verse of HITC

[Nore]

Now Mike should scream

[Yucker]

The worst thing at the show was the heat, the floor was just freeing all the heat at it was exhausting.

 

At LPU PIT the sound was great but everyone were singing so loud that barely could here Mike and Emily.

We can only go on what people report from the show. In this case, the user "eXhausted" in the LP Discord was at the show and sending songs, but didn't know the titles to all of the songs lol. So, that's what we reported. We didn't have a stream.

[Cesar656]

Also the countdown song was superstrella which at this point is a meme song in spain super white girly. People were VIBING to it

[Yucker]

Funny fact, at yesterday's (June 26th) show in Avilés, Aitana played The Emptiness Machine through the speakers of the venue jajaajaa

 

Here's a video

A little late to post something in this thread lol.

 

I was there a few days ago, and I still can't believe it's already been nine days since the concert. It honestly feels like it was just yesterday.

I'm genuinely happy because, besides being my first Linkin Park show, it was also the very first concert I've ever attended. For years, my biggest wish was to see Linkin Park live before I die—with or without Chester. I never cared whether it was the same Linkin Park as before or whether Chester was there. What mattered most to me was simply having the chance to see them perform live.

 

And in the end, I made that dream come true.

 

Another day, just another day, I'll go see Linkin Park. And this time I'll take someone special with me.

 

Here are some clips I recorded throughout the show. My apologies if they look shaky; I had to hold my camera with both hands because when I use the digital zoom and move the camera by even a millimeter, it moves several meters.

 

I was sitting in the stands, ring 3, far from the stage.
