Not a great view, but good audio - full show.

Great post. A shame they won't be streamed since some of the bands at this festival will be streamed. "At the time, this is the kind of setlist would've been taken for granted for being a pretty safe outing for the band (which, by the books it is). But looking back at it now, this setlist is nothing short of phenomenal and would kick our asses!" I thought the exact same when this Arras 2011 video got posted and again now when rewatching it this evening. That is a really, really good show. And one of the only ones to not have One Step Closer! Wow. Thinking they should stick with From the Inside, selfishly, instead of Crawling for the festivals. But Hellfest did get the 2017 debut of From the Inside last time, so not a big loss if not. But that is a great live track for this era of the band. Looking forward to this next week with Milan, Arnhem, and London. Let's get the train back on the tracks with Hellfest.

The instrumental(s) at this were pre-recorded as is standard for big shows like this. The guitar on Emptiness Machine is the studio version too.

There has been a lot of speculation and information over the past day or so regarding Linkin Park's show in Bern, Switzerland so we wanted to run down what took place on the day of the show. The fifth show of Linkin Park's From Zero World Tour European leg took the band back to Switzerland, where they had not performed in 11 years - since fall 2014 in Zürich. The band kicked off the tour with two big festival appearances at Nova Rock in Austria and Rock for People in the Czech Republic before heading to Germany for two massive stadium shows in Hannover and Berlin. To date, the Berlin show was their largest headline show in their career that was not a festival. Yes, the Chimera Music Festival in Brazil in 2004 was a larger show and was technically branded as a festival even though just LP played with an opener. Moving from Berlin to Switzerland, Linkin Park was set to make their first-ever appearance in Bern at an open air location, the Bernexpo Areal Openair venue, to a sold out crowd of 30,000. This was set to be the band's largest headline show ever in Switzerland. With only seven previous shows in the country, only OpenAir St. Gallen in 2011 would challenge this 30,000 number in terms of a crowd size. Shortly after the LP Underground Early Entry and From Zero Pit Early Entry lines were let inside, the band posted an uncharacteristically long note on social media that says a medical issue in the band has forced them to postpone the show to 2026. Just after the cancelation, the venue staff let fans inside who would like to buy show-specific merch. Of any of the band cancelations we've covered, this is certainly the longest post and explanation we have seen from them in regards to one - perhaps one of the ways the new era of the band will operate. It is natural that show cancelations will happen, especially with so many shows in so many areas across the world, but it is nice to see the band already saying they want to reschedule the show to 2026. This does not always happen, in fact we'd say the band doesn't make up shows MUCH of the time they are canceled so it is a classy move to see they already want to add it to next year's run. With that said, Ticketmaster has updated tickets to say June 20, 2026 for the show... we cannot confirm if this is correct or is just a placeholder. It is exactly one year out from the concert date in 2025, so it may just be a placeholder, but Linkin Park also is off on June 20 as they perform at Rock in Rio Lisboa on June 21, 2026. More information is coming on the new date from the band. Colin has replied to a fan's direct message saying, "Hey man – thanks so much for coming. We hear you guys – definitely working to reschedule. <3" Reports from those in attendance were that the band conducted a soundcheck at the venue before the show was canceled. Upon reviewing multiple videos shared to social media and Discord, we cannot confirm that a real soundcheck took place - in fact, it looks to us like the exact opposite... a standard crew soundcheck to test the gear and PA. In the video of 'The Emptiness Machine' blaring over the PA, no one is on stage at all. Clips were shared of that song, 'Let You Fade' and 'Given Up', while 'Let You Fade' goes from the full song down to just guitar and back up to the full song... a possibly/likely test with live multitrack recordings of the songs. Most importantly, there is zero footage (video or photo) circulating of any band members on stage for the soundcheck and there are videos circulating showing the *opposite* (no band members on stage), so we cannot confirm a soundcheck took place by the members of the band like Hannover and Berlin had. As the band routinely plays 30,000 venues across the world and not 60,000+ like Berlin, it seems unlikely they would soundcheck in Bern anyway, in our opinion. After the show cancelation in downtown Bern, local violinists performed Linkin Park songs for a large group of fans that had gathered in one of the best "feel good" moments of their return as a band so far. So who was it? No one is sure which band member was affected and while they have performed with "replacement" techs before over the years, we aren't going to speculate on anything that isn't said publicly by the band. Reports from the security and venue staff in Bern say that it is not a super serious situation, so take that as you will. Mike shared on social media that he is excited to get back on stage again, perhaps giving fans a nod that the tour will proceed as normal with Hellfest. Has something like this this happened before? Yes, several times. In 2008 alone, Chester being sick resulted in Albuquerque and El Paso being canceled mid-tour before the band resumed in Los Angeles and an ear infection with Brad lead to a Sweden and ironically a Switzerland cancelation mid-tour before the band resumed in the Czech Republic. Dating back earlier, Inglewood 2004 was moved to the end of the tour due to Chester being sick and Evansville 2003 was canceled mid-tour for the same reason. So, medical issues happen and people get sick. It is good that Linkin Park will plan to return in 2026 to make the show up, and it is also good they seem ready for Hellfest. Sending our good vibes and well wishes for the band, hoping they get better, and we're looking forward to the tour continuing!

Check this out! Paris and London are going to be epic, no doubt. But this Berlin show is really, really iconic for LP and will be remember for a long time.

Yeah that is a good point. Enough demand for 2 shows at this venue but not enough for one with a capacity larger than this venue twice. Looks like Bern (or Switzerland in general) will be a part of the 2026 tour now. With at least 2 more shows coming on the tour, it seems the 2026 tour in Europe will be even larger than the 2025 one. Wow. That is really good for the band.

Never forget the first Swiss show... the infamous FUCK YO SIDE Bleed It Out! I saw LP in Zurich in 2009 and Mike in Zurich in 2019 - I definitely will return one day. Great place to see a show!

It says here it was Bury You. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/grandson/2025/heinz-von-heiden-arena-hanover-germany-5b5fa7c4.html

They didn't soundcheck anything surprising, but maybe Keys makes it in.

Nice to see another Madrid show - they definitely needed one there. They know they can play an even larger venue next time in Madrid. It must have been logistics (bookings/holds) or they weren't sure on demand. But now they know with plenty of time to prepare for next time. Werchter Parklife is funny - it's a 1 day festival at the same site. LP must have sold so many Werchter tickets this year that the promoter said "we've gotta do this again immediately" lol

Adding to your post, @LeonardoMF93, the Hannover comments may be the most comments numbers-wise we've ever gotten from fans about a show. They are absolutely blowing us up on social media and tagging us in stories on social media. Tons of comments - videos, photos, all of it. This is great to see. There is some serious hype about the Hannover show. Always glad when LP is in Germany.

That No More Sorrow Berlin 2007 video broke the Internet at the time. The fanbase went insaaaaaaaane about that. Still remember exactly what I was doing when it got uploaded. That is one hell of a video.

A new interview with Dave and Colin from the Rock for People show has been posted.

Wanted to add something about the 2008 show. I am not saying I had anything to do with it, I am just saying the band made great moves with the set. There was a setlist idea thread at the time and I posted in December 2007 and posted like: they should totally play My December, Valentine's Day, open with What I've Done, and fucking bring back A Place for My Head. And add the Krwlng intro to Crawling. Around this time, people were taking petitions to the band at M&Gs to get APFMH back. lol Anyway they played this Hannover show and I wish our site forum went back that far because that's one of the best reactions to a show in the fanbase literally ever. The new set had What I've Done AMBO intro that blew people away, APFMH returned, it had 2 encores, the Valentine's Day debut, My December, etc. It was literally like the whole community going "holy shit!!" So I will be listening to that show today in honor of them being back in Hannover. It was totally ironic/funny I gave some ideas like that and they ended up doing most of them lol. As far as soundchecks go, they definitely didn't soundcheck at the festivals because LP is not getting there at 8-9am for a festival & it is usually the crew playing songs over the PA. But they very well could be on stage running through the From Zero stuff in Hannover. This would make sense since they didn't do full band rehearsals in Europe for this tour. That seems likely. Enjoy the show!

Stained was a song I liked probably the least on the album when it dropped and once I saw it live I became a big fan of it. Same for IGYEIH. Both come off well live. I really hate to say it as Good Things Go is my favorite song on the studio album, but that song live is just not the best in terms of the new material. It's fine but changing the tuning on it I feel like detracts from the song. I of course want to see it a lot but I think it literally may be the weakest of the new From Zero songs. Even Over Each Other has a pretty big punch live.

Agreed about Alex improving big time. Still wonder if the "had to learn all the songs in 3 days" thing he said is accurate - he's said it twice and that would really make a lot of sense for the sound, but regardless he's only getting better as well as the rest of the band. It's natural that there would be an adjustment period with essentially a brand new band on stage. Loving the shows lately. There are a lot of social media negative comments about Nova Rock. That's odd. They say Emily isn't moving enough on stage. Yeah, she stays on the micstand for pretty much all of SIB and lets the crowd sing much of Crawling, but... almost an odd thing to complain about because she is sounding good. Noticed she touches her ears on SIB at Nova Rock - wonder if they had the same type of in-ear monitor issues that they had at Welcome to Rockville recently. She doesn't sound overly sick or anything to me watching this show.

That's the only one we don't have the set times for yet, which is quite odd.

Interesting Mike already knew ASAP they had a longer set at show 2 than show 1. If he's saying both Points and LFY (2 of the 3 on the poll), then WFTE could get played. Let's see what happens. This appears to be the longest set time they get in Europe on this tour at a festival. The rest so far appear to be 90 minutes while this is 100 minutes.

A song Linkin Park has not publicly talked about yet... Stained! The Making Of for the song on LPTV is now out.

Surprised to see quite a bit of negativity on socials about the show. A lot of people didn't like it - said the band was not energetic enough, didn't engage the crowd much. That's interesting considering the energy is pretty similar to 2017, IMO. Also this article: https://www.krone.at/3812311 That's a big difference after they won over the U.S. rock crowds recently, especially the grand slam Sonic Temple performance which surprised the casuals a lot.

Lying From You sounds badass - especially that further back video. The guitar, specifically. Alex is really improving quickly; you can hear a pretty noticeable difference from the 2024 start of the touring. The band sounds great.

Think it just has to do with how busy their team and label are right now - the UEFA game into the Europe tour time period has been insanely busy for them. They'll definitely get to it. Thanks for compiling all of that and sending it.

If this is really the exclusive vinyl, I was hoping it would be a little cooler of a design or something for Germany as opposed to just a red vinyl and a white vinyl.

Not surprised at today's set with Rockville going over - they dropped the rotation spot. Let You Fade in there. Wouldn't surprise me if the exact set is used in Czechia. Overall a very solid show and glad they are playing Overflow, but especially Lying From You which needs to be in every show.
