Cut the Bridge isn't in every setlist yet, right? Just a few headline shows in a row? Let's see what happens - it may become a staple. Not saying you are WRONG - just hesitant to call it a staple yet unless you think I am truly wrong. What do you think? Also of note, JPEGMAFIA canceled their appearance today at the show.

Have a great show! Taking Cut the Bridge, New Divide, Keys to the Kingdom, Good Things Go, and Let You Fade for all the rotation spots today.

We are now turning the corner and approaching the final run of Linkin Park's From Zero World Tour in Europe! The band heads to Düsseldorf, Germany to the Merkur Spiel-Arena on July 1. This will be the third German show of the tour after Hannover and Berlin, and the band's final stop in Germany before they close out with two shows in Frankfurt in a week. Linkin Park has performed in Düsseldorf twice before, with shows coming in both 2008 for Minutes to Midnight and in 2015 for The Hunting Party. In 2008, the band took the unprecedented move to take Projekt Revolution to Europe for the first time, playing shows in München, Berlin, and Düsseldorf along with a headline show in Mannheim added due to additional German demand. The Minutes to Midnight era is really the first era for the band where they started getting quite big in Germany, leading to Germany now being the largest market in the world for Linkin Park. At this show in 2008, the last show before the famous Milton Keynes performance that turned into Road to Revolution, Linkin Park took a very strong setlist with No More Sorrow opening and the incredible encore of Cure for the Itch, A Place for My Head, Faint, and One Step Closer to Düsseldorf. In 2015, Linkin Park played Rock im Sektor in Düsseldorf, with a very unique opener... Fort Minor! Since Welcome had just been released, Mike played a few shows in Europe along the Linkin Park tour and this show at Rock im Sektor was a lucky one as both acts played on the same day - a true throwback to Summer Sonic 2006. With a set that featured In Stereo, It's Goin' Down, Cigarettes, and High Voltage (among others), fans were really treated to some deep cuts by Mike. Additionally, Joe Hahn was actually not at this show because he had to fly home for an emergency and his tech Warren filled in for him. This tour was the last time A Line in the Sand was performed.... until the new lineup of the band eventually picks it up. Check out the amazing High Voltage remix from 2015 which fans absolutely loved, and as you can tell... Germany knows the deep cuts. This brings up to the band's third performance in the city, now in 2025, coming off the heels of their largest headlining non-festival show ever at Wembley Stadium in London. Setlist-wise, a show that featured rotation songs Cut the Bridge, Lying From You, Casualty, Over Each Other, and A Place for My Head, there is a lot of room in Düsseldorf for additional songs. One of the coolest plot twists we've seen from the band came in London, with the Moscow Intro from New Divide actually being used for Cut the Bridge - a song that is really getting some action going in the crowd on this leg of the tour. Shout out to Milan for really blowing things up on the song! Of note, after Points of Authority was performed in Arnhem, Netherlands two shows ago, every rotation song from the first U.S. leg of the tour has now been played in Europe EXCEPT for Keys to the Kingdom. We expect the song to appear shortly in the rotation spots especially since Let You Fade is now being rotated around in the encore. Additionally, From the Inside is making a few appearances in Europe and we expect that song to show back up too. For this show today, the Merkur Spiel-Arena has posted about the roof being closed to 75% (3/4 closed) due to a heat wave in the city. Fans should take extra caution to be safe, hydrate, stay in the shade, and be careful when attending this one due to the heat. Who is seeing Linkin Park today? We're seeing a HOT one weather-wise - take it easy out there and enjoy the show. After today, the band hits Rock Werchter in Belgium this week and Open'er Festival in Poland right after. This is the only proper headline show of the week so we are expecting some fun song rotations tonight. We'll have you covered as usual - see you on socials for the show coverage and if you're going... have a great time!

Does this work? https://mailchi.mp/003ff63d7ec9/lplive-messenger-issue-1-june-2025?e=[UNIQID]

So great! Loved it. This is one show they really, really need to release in audio or video somehow. If Brazil is coming out then Live at Wembley on audio and vinyl/streaming. Something.

Show of a lifetime. Insane crowd. So so loud and LP crushed it. Wembley is as epic as it is made out to be. The fan meetup was like seeing everyone you’ve known online for 20 years finally all at one spot. Just an overwhelmingly fun day and such a great time. Will write a review of the show. Loved the show and thought the crowd was next level. @[AndOne] and I rocked the entire weekend. @sckofelng too. Some great folks. @BeardyWilderness is as cool as advertised and we blew the pit up. Finally glad to meet him and hang out. Three massive highlights of the fan meetups were Wilderness, and Jon and Simon from LPFuse who are big reasons why LPLive even exists. We have to do this again someday.

Hello to all - let's do this. Will be at the fan meet up at the boxpark before the show.

Usually announced during the day of show.

Mike said in a recent interview Brad "is the worst version of himself" on tour. Like, he is probably in a bad mood, not enjoyable to be around, etc. I think it's just not enjoyable for him in the travel - he said in an interview earlier in the album cycle that the constant travel etc is a lot on Brad. LP was performing much shorter tours after MTM in general - like 15~ show Europe tours. Now look how many shows they have on a U.S. tour with the new lineup. There's definitely some correlation to it all.

These videos are amazing! Very very cool.

Linkin Park has announced their pop-up event this weekend in London for fans going to the Wembley Stadium show! London - From this Friday, 27th of June to Sunday, 29th of June, visit EMPTINESS MACHINES Pop-Up Experience located at 347 Old St, London, EC1V 9LP.

And finally, a fan documentary is being made about the Wembley shows. Document your trip to London and email footage to lpfanfootage@gmail.com. We'll see you soon in London!

In what we would call a major surprise, Joe has posted a photo from Milan of Brad Delson side-stage talking to Phoenix in Milan! We have no reason to believe this is related at all to the recent Bern postponement or anything since Ben has played with the band multiple times and rejoined the team, but this is definitely interesting with the band's largest headlining (non-festival) show ever coming up at Wembley Stadium. Brad said about Ben, "Fortunately, my tech, Ben Young – who is super-smart and really helped me build out my whole rig – graciously rejoined our team. Ben has all the knowledge of everything that he and I built together. Alex had the luxury of stepping into that. There were a handful of shows in the past when I was sick or couldn’t make a show, and Ben played. He really knows the show well." Brad was in attendance at both the September 5, 2024 comeback show and the Inglewood Forum show shortly after, as well as being at rehearsals for both (and filming the Two Faced music video on the comeback show stage). He stated in January, "Even though I’m not onstage, I put a lot of my creative love into it. I’ve always been obsessed with the setlist, the concept of the show, and how it flows. I worked really hard on it; that’s no different than the past.” Brad has not fully ruled out playing live again, as he ended his Guitar World interview with: Do you ever see yourself getting back on the road? “You never know… I don’t have a crystal ball – I can’t definitely say!”

Consistently, yes. Loving how the band is changing the sets up, though. This is pretty cool to see.

They had 82,000 last time at I-Days in Monza. Let's see what happens today. Think they'll do a full show. Jimmy Eat World is opening, what a great band. Wish they were on the U.S. tour or more shows.

This is tremendous - it is so fast now. Amazing work. Thank you @Rasputin 93!
