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.

Ladies and gentlemen… it’s finally here! Along with the band’s comeback in 2024, you can put this one in the column of “didn’t ever expect this to finally happen”... Linkin Park performing their first concert in India! Indian fans have been extremely vocal about the band coming to the country for many years and this is one of the big spots on the planet left for them to visit. For just this world tour, new countries for Linkin Park that they have visited include Colombia (twice!), Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and now India. That’s two in a week with Bahrain! The list of new cities is even higher. The first show in India takes place in Bengaluru at the brand new Brigade Innovation Gardens venue, which was recently constructed. This is actually the SECOND show announced for India as Lollapalooza India was announced first and then Linkin Park added a second show, a headline show on their own. Around 40,000 fans are expected at this show with another 80,000+ fans expected in Mumbai. In February 2014, Stone Temple Pilots with Chester were going to make their big India debut and Linkin Park fans were quite excited to see Chester in-person. STP was set to headline MTV Xtreme in Greater Noida, but unfortunately the entire tour had to be canceled as Warner forced Linkin Park back in the studio to finish their next album… The Hunting Party. Looking back, such a logistical hiccup as this is quite wild to have even happened in the first place.... What was going to be a big event never ended up happening and Chester sadly was never able to perform in India. But what is important now is his promise is fulfilled and in 2026, Linkin Park will make their long-awaited debut in the country with two shows this weekend that will see them performing to well over 120,000 fans. Mike said this week to Rolling Stone India, “Indian fans have been very vocal about us coming to India. I think we’re very appreciative of their patience and persistence.” The start of 2026 features a short leg of just four shows to kick off the year as Linkin Park performed in Sakhir and Abu Dhabi before heading to India for two shows. The band will return in March where they make their (also) long-awaited return to Australia and New Zealand in a run of headline shows. These shows are coming near the end of the From Zero World Tour (2024-2026), as Mike has indicated in recent interviews that Europe is likely the end of the line as far as tours go for the From Zero era. And then it’s time for some new music! While there haven’t been any older songs added to the show lately, and we may have lost Let You Fade and Unshatter, the performances by LP are quite strong right now. We do have a new Stranger Things intro to In The End and we do have completely unpredictable song rotations, so who knows what is to come in India? What we’ve seen so far on the tour is a toss-up as far as song rotations go. We would definitely expect Lying From You, A Place for My Head, Good Things Go, and Casualty to appear, with perhaps a Points of Authority performance too. Beyond that, we have no clue as the band is going with whatever they feel like on a certain night as far as rotation songs go… all three of Over Each Other, Stained, and From the Inside were performed at the first two shows of this leg. Will any of them appear at THREE shows in a row? Linkin Park’s next show is Lollapalooza India in Mumbai on Sunday to end this leg of the tour, where they will get a full 2 hour headline slot. This is rare for a festival with the band as most headline festival slots for LP in the From Zero era have featured shortened sets to about 90 to 100 minutes. We’re looking forward to it and we're ready for full show coverage as usual! If you see Dylan at the shows in India, be sure to say hey as he is there representing from New Jersey and is excited to see all of our friends!

We still can't get the proper song before the show started. Anyone have any luck? It isn't Undead by Hollywood Undead.

Yeah agreed. We had it great at the time and everyone was too busy saying "but where's APFMH?!" That show right now would be a KILLER set. Fallout and Catalyst opening into What I've Done? Shit. Wretches, No More Sorrow, Given Up mid set with Lying From You AND Papercut? Shiiiiit.

It looks like the UFTB demo rap lyrics were from ATS and then Mike rewrote them to what they are now? Hate that we didn't get a rap verse recording from him on this. Or his vocals on Casualty haha

If anyone can get it, it's @felipeintheend. If he can't get something, it's NOT obtainable lol

We’re back with the second show of the From Zero World Tour in 2026 and this time, the band returns to a location they HAVE performed in before, but quite a long time ago… Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates! We're sold out, again! That's about... one million... five hundred thousand.... billion... sold out shows on this world tour so far. Linkin Park’s first show in Abu Dhabi came back in fall 2010, when they wrapped up the first European leg of the A Thousand Suns Tour and performed a very rare setlist… so rare in fact that it was performed just twice ever. This iconic setlist was performed at the second night of the band’s first LPU Summit at London’s O2 Arena - just two days prior to their arrival in Abu Dhabi. Linkin Park's debut UAE performance - Abu Dhabi 2010 Starting with Fallout and The Catalyst, the opening run is pretty much a dream for Linkin Park fans with what followed: What I’ve Done, Papercut, Wretches & Kings, Lying From You, Given Up, No More Sorrow, and From The Inside. Phew. Three of the larger “quiet” songs - Iridescent, Leave Out All The Rest, and Shadow Of The Day made it into the set and the encore featured When They Come For Me, New Divide, Bleed It Out, and One Step Closer. Seriously, look at that set. Who wouldn't kill to see something like that? The good news is that you can listen to the full show below, edited and mixed by Linkin Park's great sound team of Pooch and Dylan! Lucky for Linkin Park fans, both the London O2 arena night 2 show (and that entire tour) and this Abu Dhabi show were released as DSPs…remember those? The Digital Souvenir Packages back in that era were out quickly after shows and allowed fans worldwide to live through each performance by the band. With how hyped every show is in this new era, wouldn’t it be nice to see those return? A DSP of a great show... turn it up! The Catalyst wouldn’t return to open another show after these two performances until the beginning of the 2017 One More Light World Tour, when the Fallout/Roads Untraveled Intro went into The Catalyst at two shows in South America - Argentina and Brazil. So to date, if you’ve ever seen The Catalyst open a show…. consider yourself quite lucky as it has just happened four times! This show in Abu Dhabi in 2010 came before a second show in the Middle East, in Tel Aviv, Israel - Linkin Park’s only show in Israel. This time, the Middle East once again received two shows with Linkin Park’s first show ever in Bahrain kicking off this leg of the tour. After Abu Dhabi, they will perform in India in what is one of the most anticipated countries for the band to visit ever. The band’s only other stop in the Middle East came in somewhat of a less-publicized visit to Saudi Arabia at the end of 2024 when they played the Soundstorm Festival in Riyadh with Eminem. Surprisingly, Given Up was included in this (very) shortened set of 18 songs. So in their third trip to the region, Abu Dhabi gets its second show! This time, the band will play at the Etihad Arena which is pretty popular internationally for foreign bands visiting the area. This show sold out in ONE DAY, which takes place literally almost next door to where Linkin Park played in 2010 for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. This will be the only arena show of the tour, just like Sakhir was the only amphitheater show of the tour, as the two India shows will be outdoors. LP could have likely added a second show here and sold that out as well, but they probably didn't know the demand ahead of time and had already penciled in the logistically challenging India shows. But maybe next time! Sakhir, Bahrain to kick off the tour saw a familiar setlist for fans - Set A, but with the rotation songs of Points Of Authority, Crawling, Over Each Other, Lies Greed Misery, IGYEIH, Stained, and From The Inside. Unfortunately, nothing new showed up to kick off 2026 and we know many of you, like us, are looking for the band to add in some more of the back catalog to the show - a lot of fans are requesting tracks like With You, Blackout, and Shadow Of The Day. It is possible we may have to wait a while for this to happen with Linkin Park as this is just a short four show run. Here's the fan-favorite From the Inside from Sakhir - we need a live release of this song on the tour! Hopefully they do touch on a few more back-catalog songs at some point this year, as some of the areas they visit in Europe will be full of familiar fans that followed the 2025 touring. And we’re also keeping an eye out for Let You Fade and Unshatter, two tracks played in 2025 that did not show up in South America and Mexico to end the year and also did not show up in Sakhir. Are these tracks gone for the moment, gone permanently, or will they sporadically appear throughout the year? And whatever happened to Keys To The Kingdom? Perhaps the biggest surprise in Sakhir came in the form of the recently-viral Stranger Things show, where the band played the theme song as the intro of In The End! Looking to Abu Dhabi, we can expect some obvious rotations here - Lying From You, New Divide, and Castle Of Glass should be almost 100% locks. We could see Given Up, Good Things Go, and other standard rotation tracks pop in as well, or in India too. The big question remains of what other songs they could bust out and when. And for that, we’ll have to wait and see! Bahrain's set to start the leg of the tour... we'll definitely see some different songs show up in Abu Dhabi. In other news related to the show, Linkin Park hosted a From Zero Night in Abu Dhabi the night before the show for fans traveling in. Of note, a core group of fans from Russia made the journey down to see the band. We heard through the grapevine that fans were treated to giveaways, including autographed items by the band, merch, and more... and the special From Zero LP logo from the album cover made an appearance too - not bad! LP's From Zero Night, one of the many fan events they have done on the From Zero World Tour. Could a return to the LPU Summits be in order for the band next album cycle? Let's see. What do you think they'll play in Abu Dhabi? We're going with Set B with Lying From You, New Divide, aaaand.... Good Things Go. After this show, the band makes their big, highly anticipated debut in India with two shows, Bengaluru as a headline show and then a rare full festival show (2 hour slot) at Lollapalooza India in Mumbai. We can't wait - and Dylan will be there to see those shows... hence him stepping away from the show thread, but that's ok - we've got it covered! We'll see you all on LPLive socials at show time and back here in the thread after the show - we're looking forward to a good one! P.S. - don't forget, we're sending a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the one and only Rob Bourdon today! This is Linkin Park's first show on his birthday without him, and we're sending all the good vibes and wishes to Rob. We miss you Rob, we're grateful for you, and we're grateful for everything you've given us over time. A big Happy Birthday to you! Wherever you are Rob... rock on!

LPU section is close at every show - stadium or not. Just get those tickets if you want to be close.

This was posted on Reddit during COVID. We messaged the person who posted it multiple times with no response. We tried again recently and the same thing. Someone out there in the world has a full proshot recording of this show but it doesn't look like they want to share it with everyone.

Show looks like it was a good warm up for 2026. Nothing crazy, but they did a Stranger Things intro for In the End. Nothing else really to report, but the From the Inside performance was great as usual, and the IGYEIH ending into OSC is a vibe. Emily sounds good, the band sounds good.... on we go to the next.

Can understand not changing the set as a whole but with so many 2026 shows left to go, it would be nice to see a few more song rotations. What about With You and Blackout popping in? Those with Unshatter and Let You Fade would be nice. Or something like Shadow of the Day.

The best bet is probably reaching out to LPCatalog with a few photos (especially of the CD front and back) and back cover. They are experts on this; while we know the material really well, we aren't sure on the legitimacy of the reissues or versions of the albums out since Warner has issued them so many times. It SOUNDS legit but if LPCatalog has zero mention of it, then that's concerning. And Discogs is a great resource too. Hmm... so it sounds confusing right off the bat. Sorry we can't be much help.

August 16th's show was not in Orlando. It was the Roxy LA show. All of this was a mess about a decade and we got it straightened out... @Rasputin 93 is correct.

In what appears to be a now-deleted post in the Linkin Park Fans From All Over The World group on Facebook, an image has surfaced from Peru of upcoming films planned for the first quarter of 2026. Twenty One Pilots has just announced in early January the release of a live film in February 2026, saying in an email to fans, "MORE THAN WE EVER IMAGINED - We filmed our massive Mexico City headline show on The Clancy World Tour — and turned it into a concert film for everyone to experience. See it in IMAX® and cinemas worldwide February 26. Limited IMAX® previews February 25. Get info at twentyonepilots.film." As we have previously reported, Linkin Park filmed the Brazil 2024 shows for a release, but said release did not come in 2025. In November 2025, Linkin Park fans in Brazil heard that the film was coming in 2026 with possible documentary-style footage as fans were interviewed and contacted online about the release. Now it looks like the band could be planning something in March 2026. Of course, both the Twenty One Pilots and the Linkin Park graphics in this post are quite dated and not new... so, let's see if this ends up happening in March or not. The potential date listed here in the theater preview mentions March 26, 2026.

Decode by Paramore is a *tremendous* song.

There are some really good points in this thread. The difference is no one knew the band was coming back in 2023 besides the band themselves. Colin was at the Meteora 20 event and no one even knew anything about him. In fact Colin, unlike Emily, remained a total secret until they walked on stage at the launch show lol It's an interesting situation to be in, with one of the biggest rock singers ever passing away in your band and then you return with someone of the opposite gender and due to the hiatus + Lost being so big, etc, the band is now playing larger shows than they ever have played. It seems fine to us as fans to just release some Chester MTM songs, but what if one of them goes super viral and goes #1 like Lost did? No one expected Lost to blow up to conquer the world - it was a MASSIVE track for them. At that point it becomes a sticky situation marketing-wise, image-wise for the band, and it may even confuse some of your newer casual fans. Still am on the train of something like a fan event in LA (or insert city here) to celebrate the album - and no one is hurt by putting SOME material out: Webster Hall's "Making of MTM" unreleased footage on YouTube for a world watch party + put a live show out on LP.com/store for fans on digital and vinyl (Berlin 2008, literally anything people do not have - not a DSP-released show). And a merch drop. Bam, everyone wins, you don't confuse anyone, you satisfy your hardcore fans who are very desperate for more material despite making up just a small portion of the overall fanbase, and you earn money. Thinking of some vinyl release like Nottingham 2003's awesome package in the Meteora 20 box set. There are a ton of shows from 2007-2008 that are not released that they could put out. Even KROQ Acoustic Christmas 2007 audio. Or do a video premiere on YouTube of the whole thing for fans. Don't think the fanbase is asking for anything unrealistic like this album's "Fighting Myself" or something. Would also be nice to have all of the MTM songs together on streaming - Blackbirds, No Roads Left, Across the Line (these 2 are already there), What We Don't Know, Chance of Rain, Pretend to Be, and whatever else.

Really?? It sounds straight out of 2009. Could have been released with New Divide type of song.

Well said. They sound really good right now.
