You're saying you'd like to see them as support? They aren't announced for those shows yet.

Seems like they kept the dates open to be flexible enough to see if they needed another show in Melbourne or Sydney, or needed to add one somewhere else. They are doing this a lot lately and have done it before - Canberra 2010 was even announced 3 weeks before the show. It was safe to say the original 3 shows were going to turn into at least 5-6 by the end of it, or more. The dates were like the 3rd to the 14th at first which is a ton of time for shows. Glad to see they are adding Adelaide as so many complaints mentioned it on their social media. Perth must really be difficult/expensive to get stuff to. Hopefully they play it again one day.

Linkin Park has just announced a new show in Adelaide, Australia on March 12, 2026. This show fills a gap in the tour between the Melbourne and Sydney two night stands. This show brings the New Zealand/Australia Tour to 8 shows across the continent, really just missing Perth but it looks like the band may not include Perth in this return. As mentioned previously, this will be Linkin Park's first tour of Australia and New Zealand since 2013. The show at Adelaide Entertainment Centre will be Linkin Park's fourth in Adelaide, and third at this venue. The previous arena shows took place in 2007 and 2010, with a Soundwave show taking place in 2013. We're looking forward to the band's tour down under in 2026 - who is planning on attending?

Are you saying this genre isn't that popular in the region? In NZ, Foo played Christchurch and Wellington. In Australia, they played Perth, Adelaide, and Geelong. Both bands play similar sized venues globally, but Foo is a bit larger in the U.S. than LP is - LP may be slightly larger in some European markets than Foo is (Germany, France). Not sure who else to compare to as Coldplay and Sheeran are a different genre/appeal than LP.

Watch the videos above - he talks about Mike brought SOB to Machine Shop (under Warner), then the folks at Warner all changed that liked SOB. They fired a ton of people at Warner. The new people didn't like SOB. And likely didn't like Holly Brook, any of the other stuff Mike brought. And bam, adios... they shelved Reseda Beach. And didn't want to help promote Second to None. The whole situation is a shame and SOB got screwed royally.

100 shows? Surely Hybrid Theory, Meteora and MTM had more? Or no? Wasn't Hybrid Theory like 200? Anyway, nice to see a NZ show. They should always play Auckland whenever they go down to Australia. Noticed that these shows are in arenas like the U.S. unlike Europe, Asia, and South America. Hopefully the band's popularity keeps growing in Australia and NZ and they can move to larger venues and also do more cities in the future.

Really good stuff by Ryu here. At the same time you can't help but feel bad for him and SOB for how the industry/Warner did them. Reseda Beach is a badass album and they literally said, na, we aren't going to promote Second to None for you. That's wild - that should have had a video, promo, they play more shows and drop Reseda Beach in 2007. Can't help but want to see a Fort Minor reunion with SOB one day. It's not Mike's style to look backwards but it would really pop off with the fans...

A new interview with Ryu touches on Fort Minor, his relationship with Mike, and more. Interesting listen!

Joining other songs he has mentioned over time, including "Runaway" and "QWERTY" since he joined Linkin Park as songs he would like to perform live... Colin would also like "With You" to pop in the setlist. Another big track the band members have mentioned over the past year is "Blackout" from A Thousand Suns as one they'd like to give some playing time to. Let's see if "With You" shows up in 2026 - fingers crossed!

In an absolutely insane twist, the band's camp has gotten us a date for this. November 22, 2005. You can't even believe it. lol. The damn date of the album release! How badass is that? It's in New York City, the day after 7th Avenue Drop, at the Viacom Studios. Something that was a mystery for TWENTY YEARS is now solved. That's why the community, the band, the band's team, the fans, etc all being active and working fluidly/positively together is so important. Now something that could have been a mystery forever is figured out. Just great! Forever appreciative of the LP team and band who have collectively added so much to the site over the years we can't even guess at the number of contributions. Definitely a LOT. https://linkinpedia.com/wiki/Live:20051122

Simply incredible. So much to say here. The quality of this is amazing and what the impact of this is in the archival world is immeasurable. There are so few full Fort Minor recordings in good quality (for many reasons). The band is on fire at this show and there is so much going on during the show - for example the jam at the end of Feel Like Home is incredible. Numb/Encore burns the place down, it was a top song on the planet the entire previous year before the show. Amazing vibes, you can tell they love Germany (Mike especially). The setlist is so good... Believe Me is a monster song. They really are on top of the rapping with songs like Dolla in there too. This is just too good - have listened 5 times to the entire thing with many more listens to come. This is so important for that era as there is no full Fort Minor official live release for some reason (a SHAME). We, and many others, will look back on this recording in 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50 years and say "wow, this was a fucking good one and this is an epic snapshot into that era." Well done on a simply amazing recording. If this was 2007 or 2009, there would be 100+ comments on this immediately. The forum part of the Internet is going downhill but it is still very necessary for what we do on LPLive to archive the band - but that's why this isn't burning the forum down. But just check the YouTube comments. Badass. We'll share the hell out of this. Thank you so much for putting this out there...what a damn epic set.

Yeah that Skive show is really amazing. Every show of the tour is worth listening to. What is interesting is they talk so LITTLE in these shows lol. It's just song after song in business mode.

This thread was inspiring, to the point where I am listening to the entire 2012 Europe tour right now. Finishing appealing/unblocking the last 3 DSPs on the LPLive YouTube from the end of that tour. All these shows are phenomenal.

This is honestly unbelievable. LP has played 5 shows in Denmark ever, and you get 2 shows like this. In comparison, they played around 40 North American shows just this year. 2008 gets the Wake 2.0 real live debut, a VERY rare Reading My Eyes comeback, and you even get The Little Things That Give You Away which wasn't in every set. 2012 gets this insane set. Not to mention 2007 got the live debut of Leave Out All The Rest and TLTGYA. Still remember posting here on LPLive during the 2008 tour and checking for hours on YouTube after Skive 2008 to find a Reading My Eyes video. There is one where the guy filming totally freaks out when it starts haha. And there is another video where we found out for the first time after the show that they changed the Points of Authority outro! Honestly those are insane stats for a country with only 5 LP shows. Some very important things happened in Denmark in LP history. Hopefully they return for the next album! Now playing! Yes, all good points about the crowds in 2012 not loving the ATS/LT stuff as much as they do now. That happens. Right now Catalyst is a monster track and it's hard to believe they will ever drop that song from the show.

It's a weird take by them to be upset the band is playing *more* shows than originally announced. People should be grateful we even have a tour, much less that they are playing new areas. There are a million things that could describe this - the Lolla contract says they can't announce the headline show first, or LP didn't know demand was this big until Lolla tickets sold. Who knows. This is really common for them, they will announce a Hamburg arena show after they have Rock am Ring/Rock im Park announced for months. Etc.
