LPLStaff Posted June 26 Posted June 26 With three shows left of Linkin Park’s From Zero World Tour, the band makes its first stop in Italy of 2026, their 10th show in the country, and first ever visit to Firenze! Last year saw an incredible performance in Milan to 78,500, so we’re certain they’ll get a huge reception tonight with a sold out 60,000+ person crowd at their own show. Did you know this is the first non-festival show in Italy since 2003 at the Milan Alcatraz show - the first show of the Meteora World Tour? A LOT of songs got their live debut at this show from the album! Italy is a bit interesting for the band because while shows will be branded as "I-Days", etc as a part of their festival series, Linkin Park will get PRETTY CLOSE to a full setlist with just a song or two missing since they are essentially performing their very own headline show with one big stage and not a typical festival setup. Well, it's finally time tonight to get that full 2 hour set they've been needing in Italy! The band first came to Italy in 2001 as part of the Deftones’ Back to School Tour, where they performed all of Hybrid Theory except "Crawling" and "Cure for the Itch". This was the only time they played more than one show in a calendar year in Italy, but they have since come through for a show on every album! Check out one of our favorite show intros ever at their first headlining show in Italy ever, in a small club in Milan: Tonight looks like it could line up for Set A again, since C and B made appearances in Madrid before this with a ton of amazing rotation songs in the first two-night stand in Spain. Who knew they'd get two performances of "With You"? Crazy! Emily once again was emotional on "Waiting For The End", her favorite Linkin Park song and she's not making any apologies about it (nor should she) - she loves the emotion of the iconic song and loves showing it on stage. This song is a staple in the show and we'd be surprised if Linkin Park dropped it again in the future. With only three shows left of the tour, and this being 97 of 100, what songs do you expect to see? It’s another day in an immense heatwave, so please stay hydrated, and keep safe and we’ll see you on the other side! Remember, just Werchter and Zurich left... so if you want to see the band before the end of this album tour, get to a show this month! Quote
Cesar656 Posted June 26 Posted June 26 That waiting for the end Milan performance is the best since the comeback, crazy stuff. Interesting to see if they will drop any surprise tonight, even though I think at this point it is pretty unlikely. Alex hinted a new faint solo, we will see Quote

It's crazy that the tickets for this show are already sold out before the Milan show last year. I would looking forward for this show but now I can't Quote
bloodbath Posted Friday at 05:58 PM Posted Friday at 05:58 PM Depeche Mode recorded their 101th show of one of their tours and release it as a live album, and Mike is a huge DM fan, just throwing ideas... Quote

That 'With You' version is better than RaR01 even, infinite engergy. The sound/mix is perfect. Watched it so many times 20+ years ago. Thinking of Italy / I-Days I must instantly go back to my fav OML performance (cries): Quote

silverwing Posted Friday at 07:48 PM Posted Friday at 07:48 PM Very specific nitpick, but isn't anyone else bothered with one of the bigscreens having a mirrored image? Like, Colin appears to be left handed when playing, and everyone else seems to be left handed, actually. It there a specific reason why they do that? Quote

Fleur de Lys Posted Saturday at 01:15 PM Posted Saturday at 01:15 PM My personal pet peeve is when Emily starts the bridge of Numb with "but I know" instead of "and" - resulting in the awkward double "but I know, I may end up failing too. But I know..." Love Emily but those lines were written to make sense as a sentence lol Quote

I think it's an artistic decission, cuz both images are facing the center of the stage where the band is playing so everyone's attention is pointing there. Quote
