Full show

I think one of the main reasons why this type of setlist was poorly received is the lack of changes. Many could have put up with the shortened songs if there had at least been some variety. As you have already written. This issue combined with the release of THP was a killer for me. Ultimately, the songs on this album weren't given the space to unfold in a live environment. We now see that even a song like KTTK has great potential as a live song. It's not played very often either. I just think that you have to give certain songs the time they need to get a good response from the audience. Two Faced would get a completely different response in Brazil today than it did on its release date. Also because the song is part of the setlist. The fact that, after playing 5 songs from THP in autumn 2014, they turned up in 2015 and only played 3 songs was of course a joke. I would never accuse the band of being lazy, simply because I know how exhausting touring etc. can be. Of course it's difficult to change the setlist a lot when the main part of the band wants to play 90 minutes and you have to fill 85-90% of the setlist with the greatest hits. There's not much room left for new songs.

Always wished LP would be more open to collaborations for their live performances. Having Sam Carte from Architects with you on Tour or Courtney from Spiritbox screams for collabs. Yet I feel like it's a more delicate thing than 8-10 Years ago. Those live collabs probably produce a lot of unnecessary comparisons. "Hey Sam sounds way better on song X than Emily does". Not sure if that's a reason they are not doing it as much anymore.

Huge shoutout to everyone involved! Luckily we have such a high demand and new visitors that inevitable to get this site upgraded. Especially after some dry years.

Happened to me as well at least for the new line-up. Saw them in Hamburg last year and the HT and Metora songs were the same. Hoped for APFMH or KTTK as I have to seen them live. At least I got the pleasure of witnessing something like FTI or Rebellion back in 2014/15

Ok that I didn't know. I thought that people were let in to at least buy some merch from those booths.

If I remember correctly, fans were allowed to get on the venue in order buy merch there as well. Therefore, not too unusual to see people with that shirt.

Festival set openers are way stronger than the first 3-4 songs in their headlining set

I tell you what mate, if they play KTTK tomorrow....I was full of hope seeing KTTK in Hamburg only to get the live debut of HITC lol

Saw that too. Can't imagine LPU making such a mistake fro their website, right?

Looking forward to my 4th LP concert. Saw Fort Minor back in 2015 as well. Show was one of the best I went to. This one will be a damn big one.

Erynn will be there. So we can expect really good videos of the show tonight.

Nice, I will be at the Innenraum Stehplatz in Berlin. If I'm at the barricade I'll not be too far away from the stage. I mean, Olympiastadion is fucking massive.

You will be in Berlin too? What kind of tickets do you have?

I have the feeling that they have quite some problems with their in-ear monitors. From the first show in September they are pretty much constantly touching their ears.

Yea stumbled across this lol. Everything from Dortmund to Duisburg is possible.

To be honest, I don't see any of these instrumentals (Session, CFTI, etc.) to open up an encore. They created way more interesting and fitting encore openers. The way they open up the encore going into Papercut is the best thing they have created. As well as the intro. They have created some really great live interludes that are superior to those instrumentals.

Merci, thanks, grazie, obrigado, spasibo, Dankeschön for the hard work!

It's getting out of hand with those germany shows. Getting 5 stadium shows in 2025, 3 stadium shows in 2026 and 2 big festival shows. And I probably won't be at any of those show due to time limits rip.

Underestimated demand? Edit: So basically 1st Munich show sold out, Hamburg sold out, Madrid sold out, Lyon is sould out as well. June 12th Munich will be sold out by the time of the show as well as Vienna. Stockholm looks good as well. Another home run for LP. Surprised that even a stadium show in sweden sells really really good (most likely due to the fact that it will be the only nordic show and a lot of fans from denmark, finnland, norway will go there.

The absolutely crazy thing about this announcement is that LP don't even need an big opener to fill such stadiums in germany anymore

Yep, that’s normal for such an event. But it should be noticed that in contrast to this show, the LoL event was most likely a full live performance. Either Mike or Alex fucked the muting of their guitar up, therefore producing a high note.

I have seen far worse locations to be honest (excluding the travel to the venue and back to the hotel/airport/etc.)
