Get to know Colin Brittain of Linkin Park! We recently caught up with Colin and Linkin Park at their show in Frankfurt, Germany!

We can't get a response about the song.

Who is muting Chester? When has that ever happened?

That sure was fast!

What the fuck at removing Chester from the music videos?

Chady films a ton now so Mark can edit. They have footage, they'll get it out.

You are correct, just adding a few things: Nashville will still be a 360 stage, aka the pit is all around the band but yes they closed off some of the seating. It will not be endstage. It's the same stage setup all tour, they just don't have those grey areas available anymore to buy. The midwest sold very poorly for the band but the northeast was the most successful run they have ever had there - 7 absolutely slammed shows, like 90-100% capacity at all 7. They've never played multiple nights in cities and done that well in the northeast. In the future they may want to cut down on the middle of the country shows and do a full northeast run (with Philadelphia, and do 2 Montreal shows, etc) since they can't get enough of LP up there. Look at some of the other midwest maps - it's pretty bad. But they now know what they can and can't do in the U.S. - at the end of the day it's nice to see them make up shows from 2015 and 2017, but they will definitely cut it down some moving forward. Just hammer the full northeast and then the select other markets.

Wonder why there are so many more crowd shots than Good Things Go and Overflow on this video and Emptiness Machine. Definitely prefer the Ethan mixes of the music, although this isn't bad at all. They should release a live album from the tour. It's just odd to cut an intro from something regardless of why it's there - it's like cutting the No More Sorrow intro off of the song in 2007. Overall a great performance and the band sounds awesome. Looking forward to more.

So they can add more nights?

Linkin Park has released a new live video for "Cut The Bridge" off of From Zero. The track started out not being played every show in Europe and then quickly caught on, being played at eight of ten shows in a row, from Berlin to Frankfurt. Thanks to the crowds in Milan, Arnhem, and London at the start of that run, the band seems to have realized the song is getting quite a reaction out of the crowds on tour. The video unfortunately cuts the Moscow Intro off of the beginning of the song. "Linkin Park performing "Cut the Bridge" live at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany on July 8th, 2025."

Looks like Wiltern Theater 2014

A little surprised at Perth, Adelaide, and Auckland all being left off but there is time and room to do others if they need to, I guess? But they know the demand better than we do. Maybe they are a bit conservative with booking after the middle of the U.S. shows turned out to be messy. And there is definitely room for a night 2 if they need it. They could do Auckland before or after this run. You have to think they'll couple this with something in Asia while they're over there.

Linkin Park's 2025 From Zero World Tour continues through the UK, Germany, and Belgium. Colin and Phoenix take a cold plunge and Emily makes a bold fashion statement in Düsseldorf.

August 11 announcement it looks like. If the band is teasing this themselves like this, I'm leaning towards a headline tour and not the festivals. They don't tease festivals themselves like this.

Absolutely will do with an Alex page and a Colin page.

Sao Paulo sold out. 65,000 tickets. Well done - that's 3 massive shows in Sao Paulo on one album for the band. They will definitely keep coming more regularly to South America now with this insane success they are seeing. It's too late to add another show there for this tour but I'd expect 2 in that city moving forward.

We were talking about this the other day - the band may legitimately not play an arena in all of Europe for many, many years, if ever, after this, right? They are large stadium-size in many cities and smaller stadium size in the rest. It almost doesn't even make sense for them to play an arena anywhere. It's crazy.

Anytime Keys is played, it is a good day.

What are we thinking for this tour? Are they really going to do that festival that has allegedly 90 minute sets and it's 3 days in a row? Does that even make sense for them to do? Or will they do larger stadium shows in the 3 cities on their own with good support acts? It would be surprising if they don't venture to Adelaide and Perth and just keep it to 3 shows. And what about New Zealand? A lot of possibilities here. With a new era, they should do as much as they can since these fans haven't seen the band in so long.

Hoping Keys shows up for this one. 2 nights in Canada is awesome.

The energy at this one was out of this world. Boston too. Really the whole northeast run. Papercut, In The End, and Faint is an insane encore. The band was rocking - From The Inside is a monster song live. Loved seeing everyone, especially @sotrix Can't wait to do it again. That was FUN.

It's expensive as shit to get gear from the U.S. down there and the country is very large - there needs to be a large payout financially to make it make sense.

The mix on this is really different. Not sure what to think - think he overall did well but it sounds like the crowd completely cuts out when the guitar kicks in on the chorus. For once, might prefer the Ethan stuff over this for the new era of the band. Or am just used to it to the point where something new sounds different. Ethan appears to mix Emily's voice a bit better.

August 7 EDIT: Linkin Park has teased an August 11, 2025 date with a trailer featuring Australia, likely hinting at a tour announcement. Teasers have begun to pop up across Australia for Linkin Park, which has not seen the band perform there since 2013. So far, teasers have appeared in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney. While Good Things Festival takes place in all three of those cities, the Internet says Tool is strongly rumored to headline the festival, but Linkin Park's name is being thrown around as well due to Good Things announcing on August 12. The dates could be a complete coincidence - Good Things announcing the 12th and Linkin Park announcing the 11th - or could be related. The one thing that would make Good Things odd for the band is the fact that it is allegedly 75 to 90 minute headline slots with all three shows occurring within three days. So far on the world tour, the band has not played three days in a row... leading us to think this is an actual Linkin Park headline tour. With demand surging across the globe, it remains to be seen if the tour will visit stadiums for the first time in Australia or if the band will attempt multiple nights in arenas like they have done before. Other potential cities could include Adelaide, Perth, and New Zealand's Auckland - or a location in which they have not visited before. What do you think? It appears that an Australian return for the band is imminent - no mention of New Zealand yet, home to one of the iconic Linkin Park Underground Summits, but let's see what the announcement has in store on August 11.

Keys here would be a great full circle moment on all the rotation songs, let's see what happens!
