Things certainly are going very well lately in the LP world. What an exciting time!

It looks legit. If someone used the band's photo and logo in this manner they'd get a takedown ASAP from Warner and possibly even get sued. Lolla's promoters may even be involved in this? Or maybe not? There seems to be big demand for LP in India and they have days off between Adu Dhabi and Lollapalooza. It is interesting there isn't a country-wise exclusivity contract for Lolla, but it could be either the same promoter or a good relationship between them to allow something like this to happen. It seems all but confirmed with Adam saying this:

Mike said something on Twitch during COVID about the Grammy's... need to find it and dig it up.

Big news in the Linkin Park world this morning as the Grammys have officially announced that From Zero is nominated for a 2026 Grammy for Best Rock Album and The Emptiness Machine is nominated for Best Rock Performance! This year's awards ceremony takes place February 1, 2026. Let's see if Linkin Park can win another Grammy or two! The band currently has two Grammy wins in their history: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Numb/Encore Best Hard Rock Performance Crawling Good luck, LP!

A new Linkin Park billboard has been potted in Bangalore, India saying "ONE SHOW WASN'T ENOUGH", perhaps teasing another show in India for the band. Linkin Park also teased their Australia Tour with billboards, so the tactic is fresh for them. From bangaloreblogger: "I was on my way to the office this morning. My office is in Koramangala and I came across this Linkin Park Hoarding. It’s not officially confirmed anywhere yet, nothing on Google or their socials, but I really hope it’s true. I’ve been a fan for as long as I can remember and their music has been there for me through everything. If this actually happens, it’s gonna feel like such a personal win.🥹🤌" LP will perform at Lollapalooza India in Mumbai as a headliner in January 2026, with at least three days off beforehand coming from Abu Dhabi, but with just three stops (also, Bahrain) on the leg, there is room for an additional show. This would be their first standalone headline show in India ever, if true. We will see what happens!

Agreed on the APFMH bridge being in BIO. Seems like an easy thing to add. If we had M&Gs back someday we could ask Mike. Noticed that the crowds blow up for the APFMH verse... imagine the bridge. Yes this show, if it was not sold out, was very close. This is great to see for the band as they can keep coming back there on future tours.

Linkinpedia server is being weird today, so we'll cover the show here on LPLive!

Outro) Show Notes: * The From Zero countdown song for this show was "We Found Love" by Rihanna. * Joe added extra scratching on the "Creation Intro" before "The Catalyst". * Joe came out to walk around on stage and take photos during Mike's solo (When They Come For Me/Remember The Name). Mike called him out, "What are you doing here?! Make some noise for Mr. Hahn!" * Mike rapped verse 1 of "Petrified" over his solo medley and told the crowd before starting it, "Why don't we do something from Fort Minor?" * Mike said, "We tried this before, let's try this one more time" to get the crowd to start clapping, before the band started "Given Up". * Mike played the melody of Metallica's "One" over the extended intro of "Overflow" on synth. * The band jammed the end of "Numb" out for fun. * After "Heavy Is The Crown", Mike said, "Obrigado, we hope you had a good night, this is our last song." * Mike rapped verse 1 of "A Place For My Head" over the extended bridge of "Bleed It Out". Other Notes: * This show was announced on March 17, 2025 with the "Up From The Bottom" single and the restructuring of the South American Tour. Linkin Park canceled two dates in Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre and added a show in Curitiba. The band also canceled a show in Curitiba in 2012 for LIVING THINGS, so this is their first show in the city.

They gave LP the entire 2 hour show. So they can play the full set. That is unheard of and probably the first time ever for a festival for LP to get 2 hours.

Sorry to hear - that is awful! Hopefully you really get to enjoy the other 2 - you'll still have a great time at those. That's the silver lining.

Yes. After Europe 2026, many of the FZ songs will go away because they will have new music. What will stick around? Emptiness Machine, Up From The Bottom, Heavy Is The Crown, Two Faced. What else? They may like a random song or two every now and then. But it will be hard to get these other songs after this tour. It's already seemingly really difficult to see Let You Fade, nearly impossible to see Unshatter, and hard enough for IGYEIH and others.

This is really interesting that Curitiba was replaced by Rio in 2012, but now in 2025 Rio is replaced by Curitiba.

I'm telling you the minute they drop any From Zero songs, the hardcore fans will be disappointed they didn't get to see them. This is the first album in a long time they are playing all of the tracks. If you don't like a song for some reason, it's just 1 song in the 27 song set. I'd rather see them try every song instead of get stuck in a routine of playing the same 27-30 songs all the time, which is what could have happened here if they didn't start rotating songs.

LP Mexico says it's a go!

lol literally hear no issue at all on Good Things Go. Song sounds amazing. It is weird when people here are saying to drop the song and then the other half of the hardcore fans are saying it is the top rotation song they want to see in the show - pretty funny. Song is awesome. That is a major highlight of From Zero.

Linkin Park will be making their triumphant return to Download Festival 2026 in Donington, UK! The band is billed as a UK exclusive coming a year after they sold out Wembley Stadium to what was likely a record LP crowd in England. The band will not be performing any other shows in the UK in 2026, ending speculation that they may have a UK run. Linkin Park returns after 2004, 2007, 2011, and 2014 stints at the festival in Donington, among other Download performances through the years - Download Paris, Download Madrid, Download Scotland, etc. The last LP show at Download UK came as the band performed Hybrid Theory in full in 2014 in the iconic show that was released (in audio)!
