Check this one, it has a bit more before Mike and Emily start singing. https://filebin.net/7hxlygrgrfc9u1ol

It shouldn't be too crowded, they don't sell them to 100% capacity because of regulations with emergency protocols - like if something happened and they needed to evacuate the show. So, if it could hold 700 people, they will sell it to 500. Or insert number here. Know what I mean? There is always room in the sections at the back because they don't want problems to occur. This is why U.S. arena and amphitheater floor tickets are only sold to fill up part of the floor and not all of it. Based on seating charts/maps I've seen in Europe - yes. 100%. Front of FOS seems like the best spot to be at these stadium shows, in my opinion. We were lucky in Arlington that the LPU Pit section extended beyond the catwalk, so you could stand in front of it. Let's look at Berlin 2025 for example. Here, the LPU Pit is way too close to the stage. If you want to see the full production (boxes/screens above the stage), and the band on the catwalk without having to turn around in the pit to look behind you, you want (2) FOS in that big section.

Really enjoying the editing on the LPTVs. Also like that the episodes are longer. Makes you really wonder what happened during One More Light era to have no LPTVs - wasn't that strange? They played some great shows then, too.

You need a valid LPU membership to do LPU early entry. For the USA, you can have a friend in the LPU buy you pit tickets and you go in normally - there is no checking of the LPU membership at the show (entry or entry to pit). You only need the membership in that case if you want to access early entry, which in that case it IS checked by the LPU team. Your friend that is going with you since you bought 2 LPU pit tickets is fine. She just cannot do LPU Early Entry unless she has a membership too - she would have to enter at the normal doors. But that really isn't a big deal and should not worry you. You do not want to be super close for these shows, trust me. The production is very big and they spend considerable time on the catwalk, so you will have to turn around a lot. The very back of the LPU section is almost too close to the show anyway.

Is there any recording of this with the full intro of Emptiness Machine? Everything, including LP's video, seems like it has a cut intro.

It's the trailer for the show.

What about this for the tour? Stockholm Hamburg Hamburg N2 Rock am Ring Rock im Park Wien Munchen Munchen N2 Download Festival UK Lyon Rock in Rio Lisboa Florence Seems quite possible. And the headline shows (besides the N2s) are all announced, and only festivals remain - Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, and Download.

Cool mashup of the Numb remix into UFTB. Thought they did well!

Interestingly it looks like the LPU website now says, "Passport Plus memberships purchased starting September 5th, 2024, and onwards will have access to an exclusive pre-sale when available." So you can join now and be in the second presale, just not the Legacy one. This is right from the LPU page: https://lpunderground.com/pre-sale

Saw that LP and LPU said Firenze Rocks, but it's a solo headline show at that same site. It's not part of the festival. It's LP on their own. It looks like they do this to prevent scalpers from signing up. You need LPU before the announcement.

All great points - the crowds at the shows have been a ton of younger fans. They are very excited to see LP. The band going viral on TikTok so many times since 2017 definitely helped contribute to that. Random songs, too. And it's extra good to be an LP fan right now if you're you because Joe just said they want to return to Mexico very soon. lol

Seems like next year could be Australia/NZ, Europe, and Mexico. That would work. They really hit some of these mega-requested spots like Spain and Portugal with this. And there are gaps for more shows... maybe they play Download since it's in the middle of June - hence no UK dates.

In a surprise announcement and taking full advantage of the Champions League performance, Linkin Park has announced a summer 2026 European Tour! This tour will visit cities and countries the band is very familiar with like Hamburg and Munich, along with new stops in new locations like Florence, Italy and Lyon, France! The announcement so far in advance of the dates takes advantage of the band's Champions League performance as well as the tour kickoff for Europe that happens in a few weeks. A major festival announcements is included, as the band will be returning to Rock in Rio Lisboa in Portugal for the first time since 2014. The festival posted (and then deleted) a teaser that included a clip of "New Divide" along with a shot of Brad Delson from the 2014 show. Also included are stadium shows in Stockholm and Vienna, with a heavily-requested return to Madrid, Spain too. There are gaps in the tour, as usual, so be on the lookout for more shows over the year for next summer! Where will you be seeing the band next year? June 4 update: Linkin Park has announced a second night in Munich, Germany on June 12th. June 17 update: Linkin Park has announced 3 more shows, second night in Hamburg, Germany on June 03, second night in Madrid, Spain on June 24th and Werchter in Belgium on Jun 28.

Internationally, LP is a bit bigger than they were before. They were not playing the stadium in Mexico City, the stadiums in Paris, London, Berlin, etc. Yes. No doubt they are larger internationally now than ever. The capacity of all those arena shows does not equal the stadiums they play now, and they sold these stadiums out instantly. USA is probably pretty even across the board. You play Arlington to a great crowd in a stadium and then have some smaller markets not doing well, but let's be honest - One More Light 2017 amphitheater tour was selling really poorly across the board. What are the odds with Chester during OML they were able to sell this many tickets in Tulsa, Omaha, Grand Rapids, etc? It's likely very, very similar. But they are now able to do 2 nights in some cities. As Mike said it's up and down in the U.S. markets. Across the board they are doing just fine in the U.S. - notice how many "B cities" and "C cities" (not main markets) they are doing on this tour which of course aren't going to sell so hot for many rock acts. They are just fine in the main markets.

Estimated 1 to 1.5 million there in-person. And it was webcasted. But in 2005 with events going on globally all at the same time, especially with London having a once-in-a-lifetime lineup with U2, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, etc... no idea how many watched LP in Philly online but probably well under a million. This should be, in our opinion, their most-watched event ever. Only 3m+ watching at once should easily set that. With a 400m+ estimated viewership of the game itself, it seems like a slam dunk they'll get at least a few million eyes on this performance.

Streamed here and you can set a reminder for it: https://www.youtube.com/live/4GK6dB3xIQ4?si=wtxTP3gEyDHyytQk Taking In The End, Numb, New Divide, BURN IT DOWN, The Emptiness Machine, and What I've Done. They will undoubtedly surprise us with some sort of medley or mashup of something. Coldplay's Super Bowl performance is an example I am thinking of, where they hit Clocks, Fix You, and Up & Up in a mashup at the very end of their performance - and it was epic. Love Munich - saw Mike's tour there (it snowed!) and hope to see LP play there again someday.

The show (and band) have evolved so much since then. May be worth it to show it in theaters or do something with it, but film and release Wembley now.

Pollstar has a new feature on Linkin Park this month, with the headline: "From “Shambles” To Stadiums, “From Zero” To Hero: A Superstar Band With New Members Returns To The Global Stage (s)" Featured on the cover of the new edition of Pollstar for June 2025, Linkin Park goes in-depth about the comeback, the From Zero World Tour, and upcoming tour dates. Check out details on how the band discussed a possible future in 2017, the journey it took to get to 2024, Mike being nervous about the Wembley Stadium show on-sale, and more. The entire article can be read here.

USA leg 1 sources, show galleries, show notes, etc all updated on show pages. Let me know if anything is missing that needs to be added.

First we've heard that too - interesting. No telling what unreleased Reanimation stuff exists out there. That would have been a cool feature for the Hybrid Theory 20 box set.

Road to Revolution was 5 months after the show when it was released (3 months after is when the poll for the name of it was posted), it's now been 6 for this with no news on it. Wonder what's up.

Really good. A shame Raleigh doesn't have an epic one yet, they were on fire there. Of course, lol, it's the one like 6 of us from LPLive went to.

Thank you @lpplus - this is super helpful for archiving. I know @xxHybridXeroxx has been trying to get some of the original files for the shows. But it's very hard since YouTube has no direct messaging anymore for users. I can't believe they got rid of that. So it's going to be hard to track down people for files... we can try I guess.
