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!

That's what the social media posts and Discord comments said. LPU Early Entry and From Zero Pit were already inside, before normal doors (where they can get merch), then the show got canceled, then they let fans in to buy merch at the merch booth to buy the stuff.

All day today in Milan, and Linkin Park showed up to meet fans as a surprise!

Somewhere I Belong, Lying From You, From the Inside to open is really fucking great. Like, who would have ever thought 3 Meteora songs would open in 2025 this many years later? Like the album or not, many of their best live songs are on that record. Love the set and how they are changing it up. They will drop New Divide to play Waiting for the End, etc. And A Place for My Head was in there. Nice show. https://linkinpedia.com/wiki/Live:20250622

Agreed big time. So many shows they never made up. It is crazy they canceled arena dates in 2011 and only made up 2, leaving 3 without makeups (they did hit them next tour though in 2012, but that's a different album era). And pretty much the entire 2015 arena tour.

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.
