It makes total sense LP's team were behind it all. This campaign spread like fire weeks before the great announcment. And reading the Billboard article again, which came out April, 30th 2024, look how they gave us true yet misleading information: Emily was already the one at that point lol As we all know, Brad is not touring, but Joe is It never mentions new music or shows in 2024. Well played

I feel exactly the same! I believe you've summed up perfectly. Looking back, lots of things happened, and only 3 were personally exciting: Cross Off, HT20, and Meteora 20. I wouldn't call the Hollywood Bowl show "exciting" because I was still grieving, even though I think it was great. Mike's projects were ok, but I never connected to them in the same level as LP. Also agreed that 2021 - 2022 was the hardest to believe there'd be a future in LP world

Now that the From Zero tour is over, I've been thinking about all of the things that happened to our fanbase from July 20th to September 5th. We've had such a wild ride, and I'm really glad we're back on track. What a great feeling to know there's a future in the Linkin Park world. Here's what I can remember: 2017 LP not canceling the Asian tour right away Hollywood Bowl tribute show Looking for an Answer Mike mentioning that Rob had downloaded the track Mike going live on instagram to work on it OML Live 2018 DBS demos (titled as Chester Bennington's demos) Post Traumatic EP Post Traumatic EP remix context (was there any prize?) Crossing a Line surpise video shoot with fans Post Trauamtic + bonus tracks Member guest podcast Random pictures on Instagram with Linkin Park members Mike's tour filled with Chester's stories Sum 41 + Mike Shinoda performing Faint live 2019 Waiting For Tomorrow oficially released Cross Off MS Live in Moscow Fine Loads of Mike's collaborations + remixes 2020 Amends + all that Grey Daze craziness Mike's daily twich streams Dropped Frames 1, 2, 3 Hybrid Theory 20 Finding out about Pictureboard with the game Linkin Park reacts to a show 100 gecs remix (I probably listened to it twice) One Step Closer and In the End covers (once listened once) Rob's last appearance Letters from the band or whatever they called it Was Rob's the only one missing? 2021 Passenger (Mike Shinoda remix) wins a grammy Amends - Stripped Happy Endings + first Mike appearance on stage in years Lots of #ShinodaProduceMe songs NFTs (lol) ZIGGURATS 2022 The Phoenix Talking to Myself alternate mix Joe Hahn + Alec Puro releasing a soundtrack (Blade of the 47 Ronin) 2023 Still Alive + In my Head Meteora 20 Lost being huge Zane Lowe interview (Brad, Mike, and Phoenix) Meteora wall display (Rob not present) Fun fact: Colin was there Slash's Crazy featuring Chester being released in a podcast (I feel like this never really got attention) 2024 THE CRIMSON CHAPTER Already Over Sessions Papercuts QWERTY in streaming Friendly Fire Again...not a single sight of Rob "Girl singer" rumours "Brad, Dave, and Mike thinking about shows" news Countdown Count-up Bonus: Jaimie's meltdown + Talinda's personal stuff that's none of our concern. I've been here this whole time and know some of the LPLive members have as well. How do you feel looking back at it? Anything else that I might have missed?

Thank you for the kind words!

I have visited LPLive pretty much every week day since 2020 (maybe earlier) seeking some kind of confort. Not knowing whether or not LP would come back was excruciating. So, as Chester sings, a fire needs a space to burn. Thank you to this community for keeping the flame alive. I rarely post or chat, but I read everything. From all the Mike stuff to meaningless GD discussions, from rage quits to exiciting rumors, From Zero to a 100 shows. I love this band more than words can describe. Thank you LP for allowing me make new friends and visit new places. Thank you to everybody who works with the band for being awesome. This is not the end, this is just the begining

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

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 Lol remember LPLStaff subtly telling us on the chat to be patient?

Lol I am! It bothers me more than those loud backing tracks hahaha

This 100%. It wouldn't make sense because they meant the Hybrid Theory era, roughly 1997-2002

While I agree Emily is more confortable in newer shows, this one from São Paulo is important because of the context: Linkin Park were on hiatus for 7 years because of a tragic loss Dave has said in interviews they had multiple questions: Do we want to play live again? If yes, do we want to play the old songs? Are we still called Linkin Park? Do we release a new album? Do we tour? Mike has said he didn't even know if people were still interested in them! With all that said, São Paulo N1 is the album release party, which marks all those things becoming true with 45.000 screaming fans (myself included). PS: Gladly we still have 3 proshots to enjoy 2025/2026 shows

Fucking finally! I still have one minor nitpick: they chose to play LOST IN THE ECHO instead of A Place for my Head for N1

We salute you!

Thank you! She does have a song called "25", where she thinks she wouldn't have lived past that age, so... Let's hope she gets all the help she needs

What the actual fuck did we just witness?! Another legendary show!! The trailer was perfection, bringing back With You and its 2001 intro...let's not forget the nod to 2007 with Faint closing the set.

I can't deal with another coming soon 😅
