We are well and truly almost at the finish line, folks. The From Zero World Tour's penultimate show is also its final festival show, seeing Linkin Park return to Werchter, Belgium to perform at the first iteration of Werchter-Parklife in five years on June 28, 2026!

 

Linkin Park have a healthy history with the city of Werchter and its Rock Werchter festival, having played it a total of three times so far. Werchter Parklife has only happened once before in 2021, and was more of a concert series than a singular event like this years - Linkin Park will be setting the standard for this one! The band performed in the city just last year, headlining Rock Werchter 2025, performing their abbreviated festival set but still whipping out plenty of new tracks like 'Two Faced' and 'Cut The Bridge' (the latter of which saw it's debut in a festival-length set) as well as other surprises including 'Lying From You' in the encore. Prior to this appearance, Linkin Park last headlined Rock Werchter in 2017 on the One More Light European Tour, the final festival show of the tour and what would be the band's last festival show with Chester. Along with new tracks like 'One More Light,' 'Invisible,' and 'Good Goodbye,' Linkin Park delivered a huge set complete with epic moments like the 2017 version of 'Leave Out All The Rest' and a 'Faint' closer. The band's first appearance at the festival was in 2011, on the A Thousand Suns World Tour where tracks like 'No More Sorrow' and 'When They Come For Me' brought the band to a roaring introduction in Werchter. This was the band's first headline appearance in the country and their first in ten years, the last being an opening slot of the Deftones' Back To School Tour in March 2001 in Deinze

 

 

Linkin Park's full performance at the Rock Werchter festival in Werchter, Belgium on July 1, 2017 - the final festival performance with Chester, and boy did the band deliver here!

 

The band's last show took place in Firenze, Italy and kept the streak of amazing shows alive to end off this run! Though the sun was blazing hot all day, the band made sure to deliver a set just as fierce with tracks like 'Lies Greed Misery,' 'IGYEIH,' and 'Lost In The Echo' being rotated in throughout the set. 'Let You Fade' made an appearance in Act III, meanwhile 'Lying From You,' 'Crawling,' 'Somewhere I Belong,' and 'Over Each Other' also found their way into the set. A verse of 'It's Goin' Down' appeared during Mike's solo medley after he taught the crowd the regular 'Step Up' choruses, and 'A Place For My Head' verse one snuck its way into the set during the bridge of 'Bleed It Out.'

 

We're beginning to ask the question with some of these songs now that the tour is wrapping up - will these be the last performances of some of these songs for quite some time? No one knows what the next era's setlists and rotations will look like or what songs will make the cut. We best savor some of these last performances, cuz who knows when the next time we'll hear some of these songs will be!

Who's going to the show? There's a great lineup of acts on the bill including Papa RoachPhantogramClipse, and more! Papa Roach are close friends of the band, and Colin actually already guested with them earlier on the tour at Rock im Park, performing the song 'Help' on guitar with them. Their track 'See U In Hell' is one of my favorite songs of 2026 and it's made its way into the setlists this summer, so be sure to be there for their set if you can make it, they throw one hell of a show! Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting that the devastating heat plaguing the last few shows has mostly calmed down for Belgium with this show, but it'll still be pretty hot outside with temperatures at 23°C mid-day. Stay hydrated, dress light, and get ready to party! Linkin Park has one final show left on the From Zero World Tour - things wrap up on Tuesday with a rescheduled appearance in Switzerland in Zurich.

What's the difference between rock werchter and parklife?

If I'm not mistaken Rock Werchter it's not the festival name, parklife is the venue
