Lollapalooza has posted an interview with Joe and Mike backstage in Mumbai!

There are some truly rare photos here - we'd love to add them. Great find, some of these were likely lost in time forever. Amazing, amazing work here. We will get these put up. Have never seen quite a few of these!

Not sure if many people realize how rare it is for there to be any video that exists like this of a parking lot stage, but this is where they set the Revolution Stage up later on in their career for Projekt Revolution 2007 and 2008. For normal concerts at the venue, this is the actual parking lot where cars park lol. So, everything there is temporary. Filming this in proshot from such a location is crazy, but really cool. Would love to see this somehow. The band probably didn't release it (or the Roxy 2000 show) because Scott is on bass.

LP showed clips of this show during Hybrid Theory 20 I remember but I can't find the footage. It was just a brief clip. Does anyone remember where it was? Don't see it in this video:

It would have to be from the band.

Glad to write something up. The only issue with setlist.fm's breakdown is it's talking about every song performance of tour - Sabi is asking about the From Zero trends of what songs are coming back in and out. That's easy for me to write - can do it by tour "leg" and say what songs came around, what highlights were, etc. Great idea, will try to get something done this week.

It wasn't specifically Chester's death - he was in Linkin Park for 3 years after that. He's in the Hybrid Theory 20 press, he went to Mike's solo tour, he downloaded Looking for an Answer to record drums on, he was involved in band meetings, awards shows, etc. He just wanted to move on. It sucks, but it is what it is. There is always space in the band for both Rob and Colin if needed, if Rob ever wants to return.

Not sure, but 4 shows in areas they have never visited (besides Abu Dhabi once) is hard to determine if songs are in or out. They're just as liable to play Brisbane next with Castle, APFMH, and Casualty in there lol What IS concerning is Let You Fade and Unshatter. Both really may be gone.

Can you believe that it's already time for the last show of the first leg of 2026? Maybe not, since we were only given four shows to follow to start the year, but don't worry - Linkin Park is back at it with Australia and New Zealand followed by a long (by LP standards) European leg this summer. And according to Mike, that's going to be the last actual tour of the From Zero World Tour as the band wraps up to make new music eventually. The last show of this leg is going to be the biggest as Linkin Park headlines Lollapalooza India in Mumbai to over 80,000 fans, over double the size of their show in Bengaluru, India this weekend. Bengaluru was a smash hit, with fans and press both raving about the show. The online reaction has been a sensation, one of the largest receptions we've ever seen for Linkin Park playing a show. Jim, the band's production manager commented on Instagram: "We are so very lucky to have been hosted by all of the beautiful Book My Show team. The very best first show in new territory we’ve ever had. We absolutely could not have have so much joy bringing Linkin Park to India without you. Thank you, thank you, thank you." A very passionate crowd in Bengaluru singing In The End, with the new Stranger Things intro that LP has been using in 2026. Check out Emily's jersey in Bengaluru! In Mumbai, Linkin Park will close out day 2 of 2 at the festival with a full 2 hour headlining slot, not cutting anything short for the fans who have been waiting to see them for so long. Taking place at the Mahalakshmi Race Course, Bloodywood (who performed in Bengaluru) again joins the band and Calum Scott and others will also perform before them earlier in the day. You can bet Linkin Park fans in India are already in line as of sunrise, or even earlier, as they have been warmly welcomed in the country. In a recent interview with Phoenix this week, he's already anticipating the NEXT time Linkin Park can perform in India and looks forward to returning. One Step Closer in Linkin Park's India debut to a great crowd. Song-wise, Linkin Park is playing it pretty easy to start the year. What's left to play? At this point, without Let You Fade and Unshatter showing up (which seem unlikely at this point for this show), we are missing A Place For My Head and Casualty at least. And beyond that, with a Set A setlist bound to return, we are unsure what else could happen! From The Inside, maybe? We'll see! Set C made an appearance in Bengaluru with Lying From You, New Divide, Cut The Bridge, Lies Greed Misery, IGYEIH, Good Things Go, and Over Each Other. We should be back to Set A, but with song rotations being completely random, the band could toss anything in if they're feeling it. We're surprised Castle Of Glass hasn't been played lately! We haven't seen a lot of traction the past handful of LP shows with Mike's rap verses either, with him sticking to the standard verses although it is nice to see It's Goin' Down get some love in Bengaluru! If you're there be sure to say hey to Dylan @RogueSoul as he's on his India trip to see Linkin Park and is having a blast so far! Unfortunately after this we have well over a month off for more Linkin Park shows but we will be sure to keep you updated along the way with band news and more, and of course all of the Mumbai updates. Let's rock and roll!

New interview with Phoenix where he talks about Linkin Park's first trip to India, the process with From Zero, some in-depth talk of losing Chester, and more.

White Noise is even in a trailer for The Hunting Party, right?

Because setlist.fm sourced that from us, who sourced it from Discord. You can hear that isn't the song:

It is a shame a song hasn't been busted out since From the Inside, right? A year ago. Surprised they haven't tried With You, Blackout, QWERTY, Shadow of the Day.
