On the 26th, Linkin Park plays their first show in Europe for LIVING THINGS and the second full show of the LIVING THINGS touring cycle, the first being the LPU-only show in Hollywood (show page here) on the 18th. This show of course is the Rock in Rio festival in Lisboa, Portugal at Parque da Bela Vista.
Linkin Park first played in Lisboa in 2003 (show page here), returned with a great show in 2004 (show page here), played Oeiras Alive! in 2007 (show page here), performed at Rock in Rio in 2008 (show page here) and finally played in Portimão in 2009 (show page here). This means it is Linkin Park\'s second show at Rock In Rio, fifth show in Lisboa, and sixth show in Portugal ever.
As we all know, the last show in Hollywood featured a brand new setlist for the band. 'TINFOIL' made its live debut and opened the show. 'With You', 'Runaway', 'Somewhere I Belong', and a studio version of 'Points Of Authority' returned for the first time in years. 'Waiting For The End' got a brand new intro with a verse from 'Until It Breaks' over it and a new extended outro. 'Blackout', a fan favorite, returned. A new ballad medley of 'Leave Out All The Rest', 'Shadow Of The Day', and 'Iridescent' was debuted. And of course the band played a GREAT cover of the Beastie Boys' 'Sabotage' over the bridge of 'Bleed It Out' in what fans are calling the best bridge for that song yet. Do you agree? It seems this will be the setlist for Europe seeing as it was titled "MAIN HEADLINE SET" on the Hollywood setlist. Do you think this is the best debut of a new setlist the band has ever had? Are you excited about the return of some older songs?
Chester recently confirmed the band will be playing 'LIES GREED MISERY' in Europe, so it looks like it will get its live debut at Rock In Rio. The question remains though, what song will they drop from the set for 'LIES GREED MISER'Y? What do you think? Would you like to see any other slight setlist changes for Lisboa?
Who's going to the show from LPLive? M&G for anyone for the first show of the tour?
The European Summer Tour has the band playing 12 shows in 20 days in 9 countries. 10 of these are festival appearances (with one being a smaller show in Berlin that is being filmed), one is a headlining show in Romania, and the other is a TV appearance in Köln. On the 27th, LP plays the Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands before an off day takes them to Denmark\'s Skive Festival on the 30th. Highlights of this tour include Rock am Ring & Rock im Park performances, two shows in Russia, the first show in Poland since 2007, and first time appearances in Romania and the Ukraine for the band. Awesome!

EDIT: Pooch confirms there is a new setlist for this show. He said about the Hollywood setlist: "This is NOT the set for the other shows. Just something we did at HOB."
