Ladies and gentlemen...

 

The final show.

 

The From Zero World Tour officially comes to an end on June 30th in Zurich, Switzerland. It's hard to believe, but Linkin Park has encompassed 100 exact full shows on the world tour from September 2024 to now. What started as a surprise comeback at the September 5, 2024 Launch Show has all culminated in one final show in Zurich.

 

So how did we get here? Following the surprise comeback of the band that introduced us all to Emily, Colin, and Alex, Linkin Park quickly darted around the world for a run of arenas shows that began at the LA Forum and ended in Seoul, South Korea. Then, they ran another series of shows in the fall that ended with the From Zero album release shows in Sao Paulo, Brazil that will be featured prominently in the new film Unshatter, directed by Joe Hahn.

15 new cities have been played by Linkin Park on this world tour for the first time - Bogota, Riyadh, Guadalajara, Greenville, Daytona Beach, Hradec Králové, Arnhem, Gdynia, Curitiba, Sakhir, Benagluru, Mumbai, Lyon, Santiado de Compostela, and Florence.

 

4 new countries were played: Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and India.

 

Songs were brought back, songs were debuted, new records were shattered, and much, much more. It has been an amazing whirlwind of a world tour and we're happy to celebrate the entire thing with the final show in Zurich.

 

So... why Zurich? Interestingly enough, this wasn't a standard booking by Linkin Park with plans to end the tour in Zurich. The 2026 European Tour was actually planned out well before (months before) the 2025 European Tour began, and Zurich of course was not on it. Five shows into the 2025 European Tour, someone in the band fell ill and the show was postponed right around when doors were opening. The band couldn't make the same venue work again in 2026 due to it being booked for other events, but they managed to squeeze in the stadium in Zurich as a make-up show for the fans in Switzerland. And so here we are, ending the entire thing in Zurich.

 

This will be Linkin Park's 8th show in Switzerland and 5th show in Zurich. The band did not perform in the country until they headlined Hallenstadion in 2007 (and then again in 2009, 2010 and 2014), with stops in Basel in 2008, OpenAir St. Gallen in 2011 (famously with no "One Step Closer"), and Greenfield in Interlaken in 2014.

 

One of the first extended "Bleed It Out" performances ever... "fuck yo side!"

 

So, now we made it. This will be Linkin Park's first show in Switzerland since 2014, when they performed two shows in June in November. We've seen every song on From Zero debuted live, including the deluxe edition songs, and we've seen a number of older songs come back. :)

 

What we want to know is... what were YOUR favorite moments of the From Zero World Tour? What shows did you see? What do you think some of the best shows were? Does the Launch Show feel like it was just a few months ago in your brain, or does it feel like it was ages ago?

 

It has been great covering the world tour and doing this all again with everyone; we can't wait to see what comes next with a new era - new music, new tours, and more. First, though, we all need some down time and the band will definitely take some, although we're sure they have been writing music throughout the world tour as usual.

 

Cheers to one more - let's see if they pull out any special things in Zurich for the finale!

I got to attend the 2 Boston shows last July/August, and they were incredible!

 

Stand-out moments from those gigs we’re seeing the new “From Zero” songs live, along with the first time PVRIS joined LP on stage (“Burn It Down” & LP performing “Lies agreed Misery” for the first time with Emily. As a local it was cool to see Emily in a Boston Bruins hockey jersey night 1, and Mike in a Boston Fleet hockey jersey night 2!

From the countdown to tomorrow's show number 100... what a journey this has been.
I was lucky enough to be at the very first European show in Hamburg in 2024. My first Linkin Park concert after years of thinking it would never happen. I don't think I'll ever find the right words for those emotions. Relief, disbelief, happiness, gratitude... all at once. It felt impossible until suddenly it wasn't.
Then came Berlin. Pure chaos in the best possible way. Endless mosh pits, incredible energy, friends screaming every word together and somehow even Remember the Name turned into a mosh pit, absolute blast. 
Open'er Festival was something special for a completely different reason. It was Linkin Park's return to my home country after so many years. Even though it was a festival, we still managed to organize a fan project with a sea of "Welcome Back" signs. Seeing Mike's reaction,how genuinely moved and grateful he seemed,made that moment unforgettable.
2026 brought me back to Germany. Hamburg became much more than just another concert. The LP Boat, the Pop-Up, meeting fans from all over the world, hours of conversations, collecting memories instead of just merch. My first barricade ever, Mike just a few feet away. And finally hearing Stained live-my favorite song from From Zero. I couldn't have asked for more. Except somehow...Munich happened.
An incredible arena, another amazing LPU PIT family, new friendships, and a moment I'll probably carry with me forever. During In the End, Mike went down the stairs, looked straight at me, pointed, asked if he should come over... and then climbed onto the barricade right in front of me. I screamed every word of the chorus right back at him. It's still hard to believe that actually happened.
But if there's one thing this tour gave me, it wasn't just five unforgettable concerts. It was Be Part of Something becoming real. The meetups. The fan events. Random conversations with strangers on trains. Queue friends. Barricade friends. People from different countries connected by the same songs. Watching complete strangers become familiar faces from one city to the next. Every show was different. Every city had its own story. Every memory feels unique.

Man what a run the last two years has been. The whispers, the teasers, the countdowns, and the comeback. 100 shows later and it still barely feels real.

 

"It's good to see you again" will forever live rent free in my head. It's a never-forget-where-you-were type moment. I'll never forget sitting outside watching the countdown and stream start up with my toddler + infant playing out front. Now their favorite song is The Emptiness Machine.

 

And how about those first few concerts, getting streams however we could get them to get a glimpse at the new setlists (RIP that guys phone, we owe you everything). Every song those first few shows was pure hype.

 

Seeing them in Newark last summer was special. The hype was real for the live version of Overflow. Got FTI which I've loved for 20 years. That long One Step Closer intro brings me back to a teenager. I mean, is there anything better in music than a crowd singing "I put my trust in you!".

 

How lucky are we right

I haven't been in any show, unfortunately, last two years have been pretty rough for me, personally. So, for me the best moment of the tour has been this forum, the endless discussions, the expectance before every show... Glad to have shared with you guys, some days it was one of the few good things that I had. Like many of you, the comeback show feels like six months ago and it's been almost two years... Remember where we were back in july 2024? Disappointed that the biggest news in the LP world was the Bleed it Out video in HD. Little we know. It's been the tour I've had the most fun following and for me, the best as a whole since the ATS era.

Some stats to add about the tour: So far they played 44 different songs. Over 2600 setlist entries... In 30 different countries, if I counted correctly.

Crazy to think that 2 years ago, we only had some rumors.

We got to see them on 9/16/24 at Barclays as well as 7/29/25 & trekked up north to Montréal to see them a few days later. The setlist for Montréal night 2 was amazing. Got to see Emily do LIES GREED MISERY (right after bawling my eyes out for WFTE). Em did the full scream on HITC (my son got that recorded) and got to hear POA! Wish I had my Barclays seats for Montréal cause that was awesome.

I went to the 2 London shows and Download. 

The London 2024 was my favourite. It was a unique experience because I made sure not to watch any of the videos of the previous shows so I had no idea what Emily was like on many of the songs. I also didn't listen to 'Heavy is the crown' until the concert so hearing it live was my first time hearing it.

I don't think that Mike doing verses can count as a whole song? 

yes, I didn't count those as songs.

man

wonderful statistics

 

its so weird that LITE has been performed since 2024 and it's still at the bottom lol

 

they kinda forget about its existence 

 

I really miss Friendly

Wow what a journey.

 

Watching the comeback show in the middle of a street and figuring out how to make it to one of the shows...

 

Prior to the comeback, i watched them live twice (both in Madrid, 2008 and 2017). After it, the count now is up to 6! (Hamburg'24, Frankfurt'25 and both Madrid nights).

 

Hope they do something special for tonight but probably just another top show as always.

Went from the infuriating countdown to a crazy livestream

Attended Milan and was blessed with the best wfte performance, and a loud crowd, and did my first barricade in Madrid night one where I saw LITE and FTI.

Cant wait for whats next

The comeback stream felt like a great closure moment for me. Seeing them back on stage, happy, energetic, and with strong lead singer vocals was great. To share it as a special moment in LP's history with the world was wholesome and fullfilling.

 

It's so cool that the world still loves LP and took them back in with the most open of arms, granting them their biggest commercial success ever, establishing them for years to come.

 

At the same time I'm super content with the fact that my personal fandom is just not there anymore. I'm not a hardcore LP fan anymore, caring for every little bit of what the band does, caring for setlists. There was a time and place in my life for that and I will always dive back into this nostalgia as long as the band let's me. I will gladly listen to every studio output they'll produce, but more on a fun level, not an emotional one. I haven't seen them live for 16 years, and I probably won't ever again.

 

So, thank you Linkin Park for coming back, taking the world by storm again, and granting me peace with how I feel about the band.

What. A. Ride. 

 

My first From Zero tour experience was flying out the morning of the show to Dallas, TX and witnessing the debut of All For Nothing and the world premiere of Casualty. My opinion of the show then was it was amazing and that it showed Emily definitely had the vocal talent and prowess to front LP - the ‘24 shows sound noticeably more ‘raw’ to me than the ‘25 and ‘26 shows, it was obvious that Emily was still getting her feet wet at this point in time, even though seeing the reformed LP in person for the first time was an amazing and extremely emotional experience, I cried multiple times during the concert. During Lost, BTH, LOATR, and ESPECIALLY My December I was a blubbering mess. I

also got a copy of the setlist from Adam. 
 

My second experience was the Raleigh, NC show. By this time, Emily had much more confidence and it showed, once again it was an incredible show and performance. Getting to write the preshow post for what ended up being an iconic show is a great feeling. The debut of IGYEIH with Emily running out in the pit was absolute insanity, my only wish was that I wasn’t so sleep deprived because of being so excited for the show, I basically got no sleep in the 72 hours before it. Once I moshed a few times and got absolutely wiped in the pit during ‘Two Faced’ I could barely go physically anymore, anyway besides that minor regret it was an amazing concert and experience. Still one of my favorite LP shows of all time. 
 

 

Up next was Greenville, first LP headline show in the state of South Carolina and once again an amazing show. We had a few people for this one, one of my coworkers came too, and hung out with all of us and jammed. Funny that me and my group of fans were outside for 45  minutes after the show ended just talking. Security guards kept giving us the side eye lmaoooo. We would’ve kept on too, had we not saw lightning… 

 

My last From Zero tour experience was Nashville. That was probably the craziest show of them all, as I had a large group of people for this one, we all met up at a bar, and I got totally shitfaced (admittedly). We all had a blast, and even started a pit on our side during ‘Two Faced’. Mike I’m pretty sure shouted us out by saying “I’m not gonna stop you guys over here by the way, nobody’s gonna stop you.” At the end of the show, I got to shake Mike’s hand as he was going off stage, he told me “thank you so much for coming.” Which honestly to this day, means the world to me. This band and this community means the world to me. I also got a copy of that show’s setlist as well from Jim Digby. 
 

thanks to everyone who rocked with me the last two and a half years, and especially thank you to @ChuckCheese and @LPLStaff for being such great and fun company at all four shows!

This era has been the most special for me. Apart from the obvious (comeback, new album, etc), I have:

  • Made new friends that were as exicited as I was to fly 6h for a LP show
  • Attended the Sao Paulo album release show
  • Seen the band 5 times in 2 years
  • Visited 1 new country + 2 new cities

We had figured out it was Emily by that time because Adam and a few band members followed her on Instagram, Mike liked her posts but did not follow her, etc.... it was too obvious haha. And someone DM'd us "The band is secretly rehearsing to play live under the name Cannonball" (which is what their wifi is still called on tour) + there were some pretty strong rumors from the Sao Paulo Meteora 20 event that stadium shows had been booked for later in 2024 in Brazil. It all made too much sense after the Billboard article lol

Pretty cool trivia!

 

You guys knew it was Emily with 2 months in advance?!

 

Also, I don't really remember this event. There was a local cover band, right? What else?
Look in retrospective, it doesn't really make much sense to have an event in Brazil when band the is on hiatus...unless there's something going on :D

All the "Mike Shinoda And Friends" booking thing in 2023 was just LP afterall

But it was credible, I mean, for me was an extension of the Post Traumatic era but with more people involved. If Mike continued his solo career it wouldn't have been rare.

Coming back after the 45 min storm delay and rolling into With You with a Joe scratch intro and the Emily scream - I mean that's just badass. Who ever would have thought it'd be 2026 and that's happening? Awesome!
