pretty sure Foreward IS in the Inception Intro lol

We're officially on the last few shows of the second North American leg of the From Zero World Tour, but Linkin Park still has some important stops to make! The band returns to Portland, Oregon for the first time in twenty-one years for a show at the Moda Center tonight, September 19, 2025! This will be Linkin Park's fifth show ever in Portland and the state of Oregon, and their first time in the state since 2004! They last performed in Portland on the Meteora North American Tour in February 2004: despite not visiting the state much throughout their career, Portland certainly got its fair share of rare cuts at this one. With the likes of 'Nobody's Listening,' 'It's Goin' Down,' 'P5hng Me A*wy,' 'My December,' and more, Portland saw a truly explosive setlist unfold back in the day. Prior to this, the band had performed in the state a few times on the Hybrid Theory cycle, the last of which was the penultimate date of the Family Values Tour, and the last time Linkin Park performed at tonight's venue (it was then called the Rose Garden)! LPU Mod Jeanne - who I had the pleasure of meeting back at the start of the current leg - was brought up onstage for 'Crawling,' staying up there for the rest of the show, even during a very rare and short cover of 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns N' Roses! Tonight will be the band's first time headlining the venue for their own show, as Stone Temple Pilots headlined the tour - Chester came out during their set to sing 'Dead & Bloated' with them in Portland, and also apparently (according to show reviews) licked Scott Weiland's thighs when he came out onstage naked. The good ol' days, am I right? Linkin Park's first two shows in Portland took place in January 2001 on the Street Soldiers Tour for the first ever headlining show in the city as the second stop on the tour, and in October 2000, the day after Hybrid Theory came out, making their debut in the state opening for the Kottonmouth Kings on their Ridin' High Tour. We don't have a setlist or any notes for these shows, so if you were there and happen to remember anything, let us know! A full audio recording of Linkin Park's show at the Rose Garden Arena (now the Moda Center, tonight's venue) on the Family Values Tour in Portland, Oregon on November 16, 2001. A great set here that really shows the band feeling confident in their live sound after what must have been the craziest year of their lives! The band wrapped up their collection of shows in California in the state capital of Sacramento for their last show, and continued to alter the setlist to make sure the surprises keep coming even up to the very end! The brand whipped out Set A ('Castle Of Glass' theme) in the city, with 'Lying From You,' 'Up From The Bottom,' and 'New Divide' all featuring in Act I before 'From Zero (Intro)' returned as a short intro to 'The Emptiness Machine' for the second time. Funny enough, there was some sort of issue with the playback as Emily spoke to the crowd before it, saying something along the lines of "so about this next song..." Mike started talking just as the intro track started, causing the mix booth to quickly stop it, leading to a false start of a song that doesn't have any live instrumentation - funny stuff! The band continued unphased into Act II, where 'Stained' and 'Casualty' made appearances, alongside the return of 'Lies Greed Misery' after being dropped for 'Castle Of Glass' for five shows in a row. 'Over Each Other' returned to its regular spot in Act III, while a powerful performance of 'A Place For My Head' rocked Act IV. Mike delivered some goods to the crowd throughout the night, playing the intro of 'Pushing Me Away' on his keyboard during the extended intro of 'Overflow' and delivering the second verse of 'When They Come For Me' during his solo medley. The action never stops on the From Zero World Tour! We're sure Linkin Park's first show in Oregon in over twenty years will stun fans in the area no matter what they whip out, but we're certain that they'll surprise all of us following along at home with the set, as well! Portland is lined up for Set B ('Iridescent' theme), which was last played in Los Angeles, California last weekend. The last performance of the set saw the following rotations: 'Crawling,' 'Up From The Bottom,' and 'Lying From You' in Act I; 'Stained,' 'Castle Of Glass,' and 'IGYEIH' in Act II; the live debut of 'Unshatter' in Act III, and 'Over Each Other' in Act IV. After skipping it in Sacramento, we'll have our eyes peeled for another performance of 'Unshatter,' and with 'Cut The Bridge' being performed in San Jose, Linkin Park has played the entirety of From Zero live in the last week - almost. Only one song has been missing from the sets since the band's one week break early in the month: 'Let You Fade.' Will we see it return tonight? Having all three bonus tracks from From Zero in one set would be a feat, and off the top of my head, probably the first time since the Hybrid Theory World Tour that something similar has happened. Linkin Park performing 'A Place For My Head' live at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California on September 17, 2025. Having seen the song return to the set personally last year, it's sounding better than ever lately! Who's heading to the show? JPEGMAFIA will be opening the night with his indie hip-hop blend, and will be bringing the vibes with songs like 'SIN MIEDO' and 'Lean Beef Patty.' Be sure to catch his set if you can make it early! Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report that a pleasant and warm Pacific Northwest day is ahead, with temperatures hitting a high of 82°F and reaching a low of 57°F at night - it'll get chilly as you leave the venue, so be sure to have something warm prepared for the end of the night! After this show, the band has two more shows left of their North American leg: they return to Canada for a show in Vancouver, British Columbia on Sunday before wrapping things up in Seattle, Washington on Wednesday. The band will be off for the month before wrapping up their long year of touring in October and November for a proper South American leg, kicking off in Bogotá, Colombia on October 25. With all the recent Linkinpedia updates we've been doing as far as the show pages show, we'd like your help in expanding them further! We are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 tour, including wristbands, tickets, setlists, exclusive pop-up store content, and more. If you have anything to contribute, check out our thread on the matter and submit your pictures directly to us - if they meet the mark we will get them uploaded to the show pages and credit you (and also blur your information out where applicable)! Be sure to check out the site to see our recent changes to the show pages (including marked rotation songs, album breakdowns, and more statistics) if you haven't already, and enjoy the upgrades to our LPLive and Linkinpedia servers with faster loading times on both sites! We've also recently launched an LPLive Newsletter for those looking for more of a TL;DR version of what's going on with the tour than my pre-show posts - we'll be sending it out every couple of weeks so as to not flood your inbox, but we'll be bringing you an overview of both tour and general news updates in these, so be sure to sign up if you haven't already! We'll have you covered on everything the band does at this show and everything they whip out for the rest of the year, so be sure to sign up on the forums and follow us on social media (Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook)!

Let's run it back one more time, California! Linkin Park's last stop in the state on the From Zero World Tour takes place tonight, September 17, 2025, in the capital city of Sacramento for the first show ever at the Golden 1 Center! This will be Linkin Park's ninth show in Sacramento, and their first in eleven years! Linkin Park last performed in the area almost exactly eleven years to today's date, on September 18, 2014 in Wheatland on the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars! The band brought Set A to the Sleep Train Amphitheater, whipping out new tracks like 'Guilty All The Same' and 'Rebellion' while finding time to whip out older tracks like 'Runaway' (transitioning into 'Wastelands') and 'Lost In The Echo.' This was the band's first show in the area in six years, with the last being their last in Sacramento proper: the closing stop on the Minutes To Midnight Winter North American Tour in March 2008. Some of the best sets of this era were being played around this time, and the show in Sacramento that saw Set S was no different, with rare tracks like 'A Place For My Head' and 'Don't Stay' being paired with new ones like 'In Pieces' and 'In Between,' and the 'Wake' and 'Given Up' show opener really brought things to an electrifying start! Prior to that, the band's show in Wheatland was the second stop on Projekt Revolution 2007, and was the very first show to feature the 'Wake' and 'Given Up' show opener and the first show ever where the band rotated their setlist: also making this the first show of 2007 to not open with 'One Step Closer' (it opened the encore instead) and to not close with 'Faint,' which also makes it the first show ever that closed with the band's now staple-closer, 'Bleed It Out!' Minutes To Midnight tracks like 'Shadow Of The Day' and 'The Little Things Give You Away' added softer moments in between the bigger ones like 'No More Sorrow' and the live debut of 'In Pieces.' Linkin Park played in the Sacramento area five times between both the Meteora and Hybrid Theory touring cycles, but we actually only have the full details on one of them: the Family Values Tour stop at the ARCO Center in November 2001. Funnily enough, we didn't have any info on any of these five shows until I started writing this paragraph, when I noticed someone added it to setlist.fm in 2024. I've added in the setlist now, and it seems that the band played their classic late-2001 setlist, opening with 'With You' and 'Runaway' while also featuring tracks like 'Pushing Me Away' and 'By Myself.' Chester also came out later in the night to perform 'Dead & Bloated' with headliners Stone Temple Pilots (who he would serve as the frontman for twelve years later), while the band watching in shock from the side stage as Scott Weiland apparently came out performing naked. The band's other performances in Sacramento during these years were on the 2004 North American Tour, Ozzfest 2001, the Street Soldiers Tour in early 2001, and their final show of 2000 on Papa Roach's Master Bay Tour (their hometown!). If you attended any of these shows and happen to remember any setlist details, be sure to let us know! The full DSP audio of Linkin Park's show at the Sleep Train Amphitheater in Wheatland, California on July 27, 2007. The first show to feature the rotating set standard by Linkin Park, it was also the first show to close with 'Bleed It Out' and the first time 'Wake' and 'Given Up' opened a show! Other treats include the live debut of 'In Pieces' and other rare tracks from the album. Linkin Park's last stop on the From Zero World Tour was in San Jose, California, and ensured that this last leg of the tour will be full of surprises! After Mike celebrated on Twitter that From Zero had finally been performed entirely with the live debut of 'Unshatter' in Los Angeles over the weekend, fans were quick to point out that one important piece of music was missing from the whole equation: the intro track, 'From Zero (Intro).' While only ten seconds long, it remained the only track to not be played from the record after all the other tracks as well as the bonus tracks ('Up From The Bottom,' 'Let You Fade,' and 'Unshatter') were all debuted as well. Well, it seems he took that personally, as 'From Zero (Intro)' was added to the set! A little light show went on as the intro was played before 'The Emptiness Machine' in Act I, complete with the talk at the end of the song, just like on the record. Now From Zero has been performed in its genuine entirety - a feat the band hasn't achieved since Minutes To Midnight (we wait for you in our dreams, full performance of 'Robot Boy')! The band whipped out plenty more from the record, including another run at 'Unshatter' as well as moving 'Good Things Go' into Act IV into the new spot for the ballads and keeping 'IGYEIH' in the heavy rotation for a second show in a row. 'Stained' reappeared in Act I alongside 'New Divide' and 'Points Of Authority,' while Mike brought out verses from the 'Skin To Bone' Nick Catchdubs Remix from Recharged and 'Reading My Eyes' during 'When They Come For Me/Remember The Name' and the bridge of 'Bleed It Out,' respectively. To top it all of, Emily went into the crowd for the bridge of 'Heavy Is The Crown!' This last leg of the tour is getting wild, and we're sure the energy will continue in Sacramento! Sacramento is lined up for Set A tonight, and since the band has been shifting things around for this leg of the tour, it's hard to say what to expect tonight! Hopefully 'From Zero (Intro)' is a permanent addition to the set so that the band can really bask in the glory of having performed the full record live, and it seems 'Unshatter' may be a staple for this last run of shows in Act III. That being said, the last time Set A was performed was in Phoenix, Arizona before the week-break in the tour, and featured the following rotations: 'Lying From You,' 'Up From The Bottom,' and 'New Divide' in Act I; 'Cut The Bridge,' 'Castle Of Glass,' and 'Casualty' in Act II; 'Over Each Other' in Act III; and a short jam to 'Billie Jean' by Michael Jackson and 'From The Inside' in Act IV. Some things we'll be looking out for in this set are whether 'Lies Greed Misery' will return at all in rotation with 'Castle Of Glass' and what will happen with the ballad rotation spot, as 'Over Each Other' was performed in Los Angeles in Set B instead of 'Stained' (which was played earlier in the show). And will 'From The Inside' be sacrificed for said ballad or 'Unshatter?' We'll find out soon! Linkin Park performing 'The Emptiness Machine' with 'From Zero (Intro)' as a precursor for the first time live at the SAP Center in San Jose, California on September 15, 2025. Who's going to the show? JPEGMAFIA is opening this final run of North American shows and will definitely set a vibe during his opening set featuring his indie hip-hop blend with tracks like 'Lean Beef Patty' and 'SCARING THE HOES.' Be sure to catch his set if you can make it early enough - hopefully he'll find a place to come do a feature in the Linkin Park set, as has been tradition for the rest of the openers on this leg. Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report another beautiful California day ahead for Sacramento, however expect it to be hot with a high of 95°F expected today. Dress light and get ready to rock, and be sure to stay hydrated! After this show, Linkin Park continues up the west coast with a show in Portland, Oregon before jumping over the border for one last show in Canada in Vancouver, British Columbia before wrapping up their North American touring for the year in Seattle, Washington. With all the recent Linkinpedia updates we've been doing as far as the show pages show, we'd like your help in expanding them further!

With the From Zero World Tour back in action for its final stretch of its North American Leg, Linkin Park are continuing through their home state of California with a show in San Jose at the SAP Center (formerly the HP Pavilion) tonight, September 15, 2025 for their eleventh show in the area! This will be Linkin Park's first appearance in the San Jose area (which includes Mountain View) in thirteen years, their last show in the area being at Mountain View's Shoreline Amphitheater in 2012, at the end of the Honda Civic Tour with Incubus on the Living Things World Tour. The epic Set B included an 'A Place For My Head' opener and the likes of 'In My Remains,' 'Victimized (w/ QWERTY),' and 'Lost In The Echo,' as well as guest Mike Einziger (guitarist of Incubus) on 'Bleed It Out' after the extended bridge where the band covered 'Sabotage' by the Beastie Boys. The band performed in the area twice on the A Thousand Suns World Tour in 2011, the latter of which was again at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View for Live 105's BFD in June, one of the band's last U.S. shows of the cycle. This came on a run of shows leading up to the band's summer European Tour, and came packed with huge hits right off the bat like 'Papercut' coming out of 'The Requiem' and 'The Radiance' straight into 'Lying From You.' This was the first full Linkin Park show since the KROQ Weenie Roast y Fiesta in 2007 to not feature an encore break! The band's last performance in San Jose proper was a few months before this on the A Thousand Suns North American Tour in February, which was a bit of an interesting show for the band. Technical difficulties after 'Numb' led the band to pause the show for a bit as Chester led the crowd in a sing-a-long of 'Iridescent,' followed by a surprise performance of 'The Messenger' mid-set as they finished fixing the issues. Despite the technical issues, the band still delivered an epic show bringing tracks like 'Blackout' and 'When They Come For Me' to San Jose for the first time. Linkin Park's full performance (with the DSP audio edited over it) from the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California on February 22, 2011. Technical issues led to a sing-a-long of 'Iridescent' and a rare performance of 'The Messenger' in the middle of the set! San Jose got two shows in the area on the Minutes To Midnight World Tour as well, but these were a bit more spread apart than the shows in 2011. The band performed in Mountain View in the middle of Projekt Revolution 2008, which featured a special 'Bleed It Out' - Brad pulled a prank on Rob by not coming in on his cue after his drum solo intro, leading Rob to extend his solo not once, but twice before the band finally kicked straight into the first verse! Another awesome moment from the set includes Chris Cornell joining the band for 'Crawling,' after Mike rapped 'Hands Held High' over the 'KRWLNG' intro. Linkin Park's show in Mountain View at the start of Projekt Revolution 2007 is another legendary set - perhaps one of the lesser talked about ones, too! The band debuted a new Set B at this show, the first tour where they had introduced the idea of playing different tracks every night. 'No More Sorrow' opened a show for the first time, it's beloved Long Intro getting its debut here. The full version of 'Hands Held High' got its live debut here, and the Minutes To Midnight Tour Version of 'Cure For The Itch' also made its first appearance, right before a new version of 'QWERTY' was performed for the first time on the whole cycle! Linkin Park's best-known performance in San Jose is undoubetedly Mountain View 2004, which was the second-to-last show on the Meteora World Tour and final show of Projekt Revolution 2004. The set featured all the critical moments of one of Linkin Park's most legendary setlists, which includes the Hip-Hop Medley ('Step Up,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'It's Goin' Down'), their cover of Nine Inch Nails' 'Wish,' and the Blood, Anger, Suffering Outro Transition between 'Figure.09' and 'From The Inside.' The band had some fun with their final headlining show of the Meteora World Tour, jamming in the encore to rare demo 'A.06' and Guns N' Roses' 'Sweet Child O' Mine!' Brad cutoff 'A.06' just before the heavy part, annoying Chester and causing him to yell at Brad, which then caused Brad to mess up 'Wish' and jam 'Sweet Child O' Mine' instead. Chaos, but we love to see it! The band headlined their first show in San Jose proper earlier that year, playing their first headlining show at tonight's venue on the Meteora North American Tour in February. The full audio of Linkin Park's show at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California on September 5, 2004. The final headlining show of the Meteora World Tour, Linkin Park had some fun with the encore at this show! This is one of the most beloved recordings from the early era of the band, so if you haven't heard it before, definitely check it out! Linkin Park's first shows in the San Jose area were on the Hybrid Theory World Tour, with three total performances there, the last of which was in December 2001 for LIVE 105's Not So Silent Night! Opening with 'With You' and 'Runaway,' Linkin Park immediately blasted into a massive set to reign in the holidays! The band had plenty of presents to give fans for the Christmas season, including an acoustic version of 'My December,' a full performance of 'Step Up,' and another short cover of 'Sweet Child O' Mine!' Chester mentioned during the show that their last time in San Jose was literally just three weeks prior - which is just about true, as Linkin Park performed at the same venue less than a month before on the Family Values Tour. Finally, Linkin Park's very first show in the area was in Mountain View on the Ozzfest 2001, delivering old cuts from Hybrid Theory like 'By Myself' and 'Points Of Authority' to the city for the first time. With ten shows under their belt in the city and innumerable memorable moments, the band's history in San Jose is only bound to continue tonight! After a week off from touring, Linkin Park resumed their From Zero North American Tour in their hometown of Los Angeles at the Intuit Dome on Saturday, and definitely came back with a bang! The band played Set B (with the 'Iridescent' theme; also side-note, this is like the third time I've mentioned a Set B so far in this thread), but made a number of tweaks to the set from its last performance in Kansas City, Missouri! 'Up From The Bottom' kept its new spot early in Act I alongside 'Crawling' and 'Lying From You,' while 'Stained' took its regular place in Act II - the first time since Paris, France in July that the song had featured in that spot! The action kept coming as Mike rapped 'High Voltage' over the 'When They Come For Me/Remember The Name' medley for the first time on tour, the song appearing in a Linkin Park set for the first time since Bremen, Germany in November 2014 on The Hunting Party World Tour, and for the first time live since the last full show of Mike's Post Traumatic Tour in Manila, Philippines in September 2019! Mike brought it out for a fan who said that was the song that got him into the band all those years ago, and boy do we need to see more of it. Act II kept giving as 'IGYEIH' was rotated into Set B for the first time, replacing 'Given Up' in the spot. Act III delivered a moment we've been waiting for for months: the live debut of 'Unshatter!' The song is massive live and the debut was as fantastic as it was important; with its debut, every song currently released from the From Zero era has been played live (barring the intro track)! This makes it the first album since Hybrid Theory to be played in full INCLUDING the bonus tracks! After all of that, the band had one more surprise as they added 'Over Each Other' into the set in place of 'Let You Fade' (couldn't have too many bonus tracks in one set I guess), making it a total of nine songs from From Zero being played live - the only ones missing were 'Cut The Bridge,' 'Casualty,' and 'Let You Fade,' all of which are on rotation in the other sets! The end of the set also switched around, with 'In The End' and 'Faint' closing the main set and 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' closing the whole show. The live debut of 'Unshatter' at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California on September 13, 2025! With this, the From Zero live discography is complete! With all that action in Los Angeles, can we expect the energy to continue in San Jose? Most likely! The band is lined up to play Set C in San Jose (finally escaping the hold Set B has on the city, apparently), which featured 'Burn It Down' lyrics during the interludes. With all the changes the band made to the previous set in Los Angeles, there's no telling what we'll see happen with the set in San Jose, but here's what they whipped out the last time they played it, which was in Denver, Colorado two weeks ago: 'Points Of Authority,' 'Crawling,' and 'New Divide' in Act I, 'Castle Of Glass' and 'IGYEIH' in Act II, 'Stained' in Act III, and 'Let You Fade' in the encore, with a 'Bleed It Out' closer. It's likely we see 'Lies Greed Misery' come back out of hiding after Jean Dawson featuring on 'Castle Of Glass' banished it to the shadow realm, and we could see 'Unshatter' come back out for another run as the band warms it up to a live setting! That being said, the band's been changing many things up, like the position of 'Up From The Bottom' and what replaces it in Act II, so we'll have our eyes on all the small details to keep you posted. Who's going to the show? JPEGMAFIA will be opening this final stretch of shows in North America, and will be packing a punch with his indie-infused hip-hop hits like 'Lean Beef Patty' and 'SIN MIEDO,' so be sure to check his set out if you can make it on time! Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report a beautiful California day is ahead for San Jose with sunny skies, a high of 89°F, and a low of 61°F, so be prepared for that California sun and get ready to jam! Linkin Park has one more stop in California in its capital city of Sacramento before heading up the west coast to wrap the leg up in Portland, Oregon, back to Canada for a show in Vancouver, British Columbia, and finally to Seattle, Washington this week. With all the recent Linkinpedia updates we've been doing as far as the show pages show, we'd like your help in expanding them further! We are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 tour, including wristbands, tickets, setlists, exclusive pop-up store content, and more.

it finally happened!

KROQ has just shared a video of Linkin Park performing a stripped-down version of 'The Emptiness Machine' to a small crowd at EastWest Studios (where they held recording sessions for From Zero) with Mike (on grand piano), Emily, and Colin (on acoustic guitar). Videos of 'What I've Done' have also popped up, so it seems they played a couple of songs for the crowd. We'll bring you more info as we find it! Show Page: https://linkinpedia.com/wiki/Live:20250912 It also seems that Zach Sang has interview the band after their performance, so we'll be getting some content from this online in the future.

After having a week off, Linkin Park are back on the road again, bringing the From Zero World Tour back to their hometown of Los Angeles, California tonight, September 13, 2025 at the Intuit Dome! Linkin Park's history in Los Angeles is immense, but perhaps their most legendary moments in the city took place just around this time last year: the big reveal of the From Zero era. After two hundred-hour countdowns that live in every Linkin Park fan's memory hauntingly, Linkin Park invited 500 fans from the LPUnderground to a warehouse on the Warner Bros. Lot in Los Angeles on September 5, 2024. Not a soul, including us behind the scenes at LPLive and Hahninator at the venue itself, knew what was coming. Before the event, we didn't know if the band was going to appear in a Q&A type format, if a video was going to be played, or if a live performance was coming. Fans entered the venue and pictures quickly emerged of a drum kit and a stage in the middle of the venue, and with millions tuned into a livestream on YouTube, the excitement built by the second. And the time for answers finally after a seven year hiatus: Linkin Park once again took the stage, with Inception Intro A blowing all our minds in classic show-opener mashup intro format, before we were all introduced to their new single, 'The Emptiness Machine.' Mike, Phoenix, and Joe took the stage with new member Colin Brittain and touring guitarist Alex Feder for the beginning of the song, before the world was introduced to the new lead singer of Linkin Park: Emily Armstrong. Walking confidently onstage through the crowd for the second verse, emotions were riding high for everyone watching. The band returned back to familiar territory with 'Somewhere I Belong,' albeit at a new key, showcasing that they were back and had to do some work reinventing the music to accommodate the new times. Ripping through further classics like 'Crawling,' 'Lying From You,' and 'The Catalyst,' Linkin Park were back and in full form once again. The emotions got to them all onstage as well, with Emily in tears during most of 'Waiting For The End' (like the rest of us). Songs like 'One Step Closer' and 'Papercut' in the set ensured that the same heaviness we were used to with Chester was still well and alive, while the live debut of 'Lost' reminded us of how much had happened in between 2017 and now. Closing the show with 'Bleed It Out' in classic "going out with a party" format, one thing was for certain: the band we all love was back and ready to rock once again. Relive the comeback with the full From Zero livestream from September 5, 2024! Immediately after the show came the announcement of a world tour, the new single, and new album. Truth be told - I barely watched the livestream because I was so busy updating all of the LPLive socials and Linkinpedia page! Busy times were back, and they had to continue get busy because Linkin Park's first full show back was to be held at the Kia Forum on September 11, 2024 - less than a week later! Accommodations booked, myself, Astat, Hahninator, and countless other fans flocked to Los Angeles for what was perhaps the most important concert of our lives. The excitement in the venue and even the city itself was palpable, and the excited tension remained high up until the very second the lights dimmed in the venue. With no idea what lay ahead of us, we chose our spot around the 360 stage setup and got ready to jam. Linkin Park's first full set was nothing short of unforgettable. Opening with Inception Intro A into 'Somewhere I Belong,' the venue immediately erupted as thousands of fans sang songs we'd never thought we'd be able to at a concert again. Playing everything from the livestream and nearly doubling the songs played, the band ripped through everything a fan could ask for. Heavy songs like 'Points Of Authority' and 'Given Up' made their return, while more ballads like 'New Divide' (with the fan favorite Moscow Intro also returning) and 'Burn It Down' were also performed by Emily for the first time. A heartbreaking acoustic version of 'My December' was added to the set, being played live for the first time since 2008, right before 'Friendly Fire,' a B-side to One More Light released on the Papercuts compilation, made its live debut, to this day still being the only material from the One More Light sessions to be performed on the world tour so far. The surprises didn't stop there, with 'Keys To The Kingdom' making its live debut in the encore, 10 years after its release, with Emily even mentioning the #JusticeForTheHuntingParty campaign that followed the Papercuts release. Other tracks like 'Breaking The Habit,' 'Leave Out All The Rest,' and 'Lost In The Echo' also made appearances in the set - all of which have been dropped in 2025 in favor of new music from From Zero. The 27 song setlist was the longest show the band had ever played, clocking in at just over two hours. This week of time will forever live in my head - I always feel the morning autumn air of September back home in New Jersey and the warm, smoky heat of Los Angeles every time I hear 'The Emptiness Machine.' Linkin Park's return came at a time that I didn't realize I needed it, inspiring me to finish my own album and work harder on my own dreams and life. And of course, things got me back in business with all of you guys on LPLive and all those reading! The last year of covering the band on tour has been nothing short of incredible, and it feels so good to be back. And we're not stopping any time soon, as we're sure the band has some surprises in store for their hometown as they make their return in 2025! Linkin Park's first full show with Emily, Colin, and Alex at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California on September 11, 2024. I will never forget this show for as long as I live - one of the best days of my life! Now that the band has had a week off to relax and recalibrate, we're wondering if they have any surprises up their sleeve as they enter the final stretch of the North American leg. The biggest thing spinning on the rumor mill is that in the last couple of shows before the break, they band were reportedly soundchecking and rehearsing 'Unshatter,' the only song left from the From Zero era (that's been released) that hasn't been performed live yet! Adding further fuel to the fire, for some of the clothing pop ups the band held in the city for the last few days, the password to access the Linkin Park x Phantom Label collaboration was "UNSHATTER" - so the song is definitely in the band's mind! Debuting it in Los Angeles seems like a perfect moment, and would be a really special moment for fans in Los Angeles. The band performed Set A at their last show in Phoenix, Arizona, so if they keep their set rotations going Los Angeles should be lined up for Set B. Set B has the 'Iridescent' theme, and was last performed in Kansas City, Missouri. The rotations last time were as follows: 'Crawling,' 'Up From The Bottom' (moving out of its regular position), and 'Lying From You' in Act I, 'Cut The Bridge' (assuming 'Up From The Bottom's normal position and featuring the Moscow Intro), 'Castle Of Glass,' and 'Given Up' in Act II, 'Good Things Go' in Act III, and 'Let You Fade' in Act IV. Opener Jean Dawson was guesting on 'Castle Of Glass' for the last few shows of the tour, so 'Lies Greed Misery' hasn't been seen in awhile - with Dawson's time on the From Zero World Tour over, 'Lies Greed Misery' should be back on the menu for rotations and could return in Los Angeles. We're sure the band's cooking something special up for their hometown, and we'll be bringing you the coverage for every moment! Who's going to the show? JPEGMAFIA will be rejoining the tour after having opened a few shows on their European Leg earlier this year, and will definitely bring a great set with his indie hip-hop energy. Maybe this time we'll see him join the band onstage for a song - that's been the trend for the openers on this U.S. leg! Weatherman Rogue Soul is here to report a classic Los Angeles day, with temperatures just below 80°F and going down to 67°F at night. I was there at the Forum just a few weeks ago and was lowkey cold, so do with that as you will. But it's looking like a beautiful California day for a show, so be ready to jam! Linkin Park has a few more stops in California this week in San Jose and Sacramento before heading up the west coast to Portland, Oregon, Vancouver, British Columbia, and finally in Seattle, Washington. We'll have you covered on everything that goes on during this last leg in North America! With all the recent Linkinpedia updates we've been doing as far as the show pages show, we'd like your help in expanding them further! We are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 tour, including wristbands, tickets, setlists, exclusive pop-up store content, and more.

it’s not that we are tired of hearing how much you love him - probably quite the contrary. It’s more the fact that one little detail gets people so caught up about this that we can’t take a step back and appreciate what’s going on. No need to belittle the band or the show because it doesn’t meet your own personal criteria, and in fact hasn’t shown any indication that they will. It’s obvious this is the first Emily era and they want to keep things focussed on that, but there’s no “erasure” going on, it’s simply just playing their show and promoting their new era, keeping things focussed. ever take a second to think that maybe mentioning Chester is hard on them too? like when Mike had to shorten Over Again because of the emotional toll it took on both him and the crowd. I’m sure maybe you’d light up at the mention but others will still feel some sort of way if they did - not everyone is in the same boat as you are with this. Don’t you think, as a Chester superfan, that this is what he would’ve wanted anyway? For them to be able to move forward without the anchor of his passing holding them back? It’s not easy anyway you look at it, but its pointless at being upset at it. anyway, one and a half hours til show time! awesome story! as a little aside, I actually do listen to the shows I link in the pre-show posts while I write them. I usually go into the show pages and add more info (more in line with how we’d do them today - I added a lot of details on the Phoenix 2007 and Phoenix 2000 pages! EDIT: After all this arguing... lol Mike Shinoda: "We're feeling very grateful to be here, in the birthplace of Chester Bennington... and as luck would have it, a year since the relaunch of the band. So a lot of emotions for us, thank you guys very much for supporting the journey and the band and the new music."

Write a pre-show post mentioning Chester in his hometown, they said. What could possibly go wrong, they said.

We're approaching the final stretch of the second North American Leg of the From Zero World Tour, Linkin Park are returning to the hometown of Chester Bennington for the first time in almost 10 years for a show at the PHX Arena in Phoenix, Arizona tonight, September 6, 2025! This'll be the band's fifteenth show in Phoenix over the years, so you know today's history lesson is going to get interesting. Linkin Park's last few bouts in the Phoenix area were pretty interesting. Their last show there was on November 1, 2015 (the day after Halloween) at the Monster Mash festival in Tempe, the band coming out dressed in full zombie makeup to play the show! This show was the start of the final run of shows on The Hunting Party World Tour, with songs like 'Rebellion' and 'Final Masquerade' getting some of the limelight one more time before being dropped as setlist regulars. They performed in Scottsdale in 2014 as well for an even more unique event - a silent charity auction! Linkin Park performed at the Stars Of The Season Gala for a short set (shortened due to the auction running late), which opened with 'One Step Closer' and featured some sort of 'Papercut' Jam with Luis Ortiz (from the show "Million Dollar Listing") in the middle, as well. Chester had played this event with every single one of his active bands - Dead By Sunrise in 2011 (their final show ever), a solo show in 2012, Stone Temple Pilots in 2013, and finally Linkin Park in 2014. Talk about being a completionist! The band headlined their last proper show in Phoenix just a month before this at the US Airways Center at the end of the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars. Delivering Set A to the crowd, bringing old tracks like 'Runaway' and 'Points Of Authority' into the mix with the likes of 'Wastelands' and 'Guilty All The Same.' The band didn't make it to the area on the Living Things World Tour, making their next most recent performance in Phoenix on the A Thousand Suns World Tour in February 2011 to top off the Winter North American Tour, headlining the same venue as in 2014. This show was the final full performance of 'Wretches and Kings' to date, and also featured the chorus of 'Burning In The Skies' during the extended bridge of 'Bleed It Out!' Jumping back to the Minutes To Midnight World Tour, the band visited Phoenix twice during this time. The band stopped at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion (now the Talking Stick Resort Amphitheater) in the middle of Projekt Revolution 2008, opening with 'No More Sorrow' and an intro from the Street Drum Corps into a massive opening run with 'Lying From You' and 'Points Of Authority.' Rare tracks like a full band 'Pushing Me Away' and 'In Pieces' made their way into the setlist, while other treats included 'Crawling' featuring Chris Cornell and a 'Krwlng' intro with a verse of 'Hands Held High' over it and the Minutes To Midnight Tour Version of 'Cure For The Itch.' Chester joined Chris Cornell during his set earlier on for 'Hunger Strike,' too! The band played at the same venue at the start of Projekt Revolution 2007, and is the source of a very famous speech from Mike Shinoda during the extended intro of 'Papercut:' "A little fewer than 10 years ago, we had a problem in our band. We had this thing going on, but we didn't have a singer. Me and Brad started this thing in our apartment, fuckin' around with some friends, and we sent some demos out to some singers to see if we could find anybody that clicked. We got a demo back from a dude from Arizona, from Phoenix. Suffice to say, that shit worked out alright! Hey Phoenix, thank you for our friend Chester. We love you." An almost full recording of Linkin Park's show at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion in Phoenix, Arizona on August 1, 2007. To hear Mike's speech about Phoenix and Chester, skip to 15:15! Onto the Meteora World Tour! The band made two ventures to Phoenix in this era, the last of which came near the end of Projekt Revolution 2004. Featuring every fan's favorite setlist of the band's career, Phoenix were treated to a slew of legendary moments including the band's cover of Nine Inch Nails' 'Wish,' the Hip-Hop Medley featuring parts of 'Step Up,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'It's Goin' Down,' and the Blood, Anger, Suffering Outro Transition between 'Figure.09' and 'From The Inside.' Projekt Revolution 2003 also saw the band in Phoenix, where fans were treated to even rare songs like 'Hit The Floor,' 'Easier To Run,' and 'P5hng Me A*wy!' A full performance of 'Nobody's Listening' with an extended outro featuring Xzibit rapping his verse from 'My Name' over it! The band was busy in the area during the Hybrid Theory World Tour, visiting the city and its suburbs seven times in about a year and a half! Phoenix may hold the record for the city visited most often on Projekt Revolution as the band stopped there once again on the inaugural Projekt Revolution 2002 (that's five for five for Phoenix!) in February 2002, which featured treats like complete performances of 'Step Up,' 'It's Goin' Down' (the latter of which featured DJ Z-Trip), and 'Forgotten.' The band also played 'My December' and a cover of 'My Own Summer (Shove It)' by the Deftones in the encore! The band hit the town on the Family Values Tour just three months before in November 2001, and again a few months before that on an off day of the Ozzfest in July. The band performed in Mesa in April on their US-To-Europe run, packing the setlist with goods including B-sides 'High Voltage' and 'And One!' Chester sported his iconic red mohawk for the first time at this show, and even climbed the 30-foot speakers during 'Runaway!' Linkin Park topped off KUPD's Red Christmas Party in December 2000 (the show before the famous KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show), opening with a raucous combo of 'A Place For My Head' and 'Forgotten' to a sold-out crowd. The band played in the area less than two months prior, right off the release of Hybrid Theory at The Freakers Ball during the Kottonmouth Kings' Ridin' High Tour - the band reportedly changed the setlist for this show, dropping 'Forgotten' and moving 'In The End' up to the second spot for the first time. The band performed in Peoria the month before in the middle of the Ridin' High Tour, opting to play KEDJ's That Damn Show event rather than the tour stop in Providence, Rhode Island. Chester wore a necklace given to him by a fan named Jessica Green, and the band brought up a fan named Tyler who was covered in Linkin Park stickers! Another month before that in August, Linkin Park played the 98KUPD Show, the source of the earliest known live recording of the band! This ancient show features the band's earliest known setlist, featuring 'Cure For The Itch' and 'Papercut' as openers and a grand finale of 'One Step Closer.' The earliest full recording of Linkin Park performing live, from the Mason Jar in Phoenix, Arizona at the 98KUPD Show on August 15, 2000. Now THIS is a time capsule right here! Will we ever get a full live recording of the band earlier than this? Before ending this history lesson, there's a couple more very special shows to mention. Prior to Linkin Park, many will know that the band was known as Hybrid Theory up until May 2000. According to Jeff Blue in his book, the band changed their name to "Plear" on May 1 before changing to "Linkin Park" a week later. The ticket stubs for this show say "Hybrid Theory," but what could possibly be Linkin Park's very first show in Arizona (and one of their very first shows under the name Linkin Park) occurred in Tempe at the end of May. We've also found some Hybrid Theory shows in Tempe in August 1999, which could possibly have been the band's first shows outside of their native California. Linkin Park's history lies deeply within Arizona and Phoenix, and we're sure their first show there with Emily, Colin, and Alex will continue to add to that! The From Zero World Tour made its last stop in Denver, Colorado, bringing Set C ('Burn It Down' theme) to the crowd. Act I featured 'Points Of Authority,' 'Crawling,' and 'New Divide' with its short Moscow Intro, while 'Up From The Bottom' returned to its regular spot in Act II alongside rotations 'Castle Of Glass' featuring opener Jean Dawson and 'IGYEIH' at the end (after Mike whipped out the demo verse of 'Lift Off' from Post Traumatic during his solo medley). 'Stained' was played in its regular spot in Act III, and 'Let You Fade' made its way into Act IV. This setlist was pretty much the same as the last Set C performance in Minneapolis, Minnesota, so the band may have found their preferred run with this one after some mid-tour experimentation. Phoenix is lined up for Set A ('Castle Of Glass' theme), which was last performed in Omaha, Nebraska. The band was still playing around with the set around this time, so we can't say for certain if they'll follow the same order as last time, but Nebraska's setlist saw the following: 'Lying From You,' 'Stained,' and 'New Divide' in Act I, 'Lies Greed Misery' and 'Casualty' in Act II, 'Over Each Other' in Act III, and 'A Place For My Head' in Act IV, where it replaced 'From The Inside' in the rotation spot. With 'Let You Fade' now in two sets and 'From The Inside' in none, it begs the question: where'd it go? Perhaps it'll return tonight, or perhaps 'Unshatter' will finally get its live debut after reportedly being soundchecked a few shows ago. 'Castle Of Glass' will likely get another performance in as it'll be Jean Dawson's last show of the tour with the band, so we might not see 'Lies Greed Misery' again until next week when the band resumes the tour. It's worth nothing that this show is the first following the one-year anniversary of the band's return, so it'll be interesting to see if the band has anything special to say about that or Chester in his hometown! Linkin Park's full show at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado on September 3, 2025. How lucky we are that nearly every show on this tour gets a full recording uploaded a day or two after! Who's going to the show? As I said, this'll be Jean Dawson's last show of the tour with the band before JPEGMAFIA takes over for the west coast, so if you can make it early enough to see him, be sure to! Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report it'll be a goddamn hot day in Arizona (no surprise there for you guys who live down there I'm sure) with temperatures up to 95°F and only going down to 88°F at night. An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect, so be sure to prepare in whatever that means staying really hydrated or slapping that sunscreen on! After this show, Linkin Park takes a week off of touring before resuming the From Zero World Tour on the west coast, beginning with a hometown show in Los Angeles on September 13. With all the recent Linkinpedia updates we've been doing as far as the show pages show, we'd like your help in expanding them further! We are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 tour, including wristbands, tickets, setlists, exclusive pop-up store content, and more.

We'll have you covered on everything the band does at this show and everything they whip out for the rest of the year, so be sure to sign up on the forums and follow us on social media (Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook)!

Thank you! At the rate this tour is growing, I don't think we'll be getting any breaks any time soon 😅 Gladly the whole team is helping out so we have a variety of posts coming throughout the tour to mix it up. Got things moving like a well oiled machine behind the scenes 😎 Wonder if they'll mention the comeback show tonight or in Phoenix.

September has rolled on through, and after a few days off, the From Zero World Tour is back in business, with Linkin Park bringing their next show to the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado tonight, September 3, 2025! This will be Linkin Park's twelfth show in the Denver area, and the first in eleven years! Linkin Park last performed in the area of the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars in 2014, performing at the Fiddler's Green Amphitheater in Englewood. The band whipped out Set B, featuring a full 'With You' at the start of the show, as well as the 2014 Abridged Version of 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You' and 'Somewhere I Belong' later in the set. The band hit the same venue in 2012 on the Honda Civic Tour with Incubus (then called the Comfort Dental Amphitheater), where songs like 'Lost In The Echo,' 'In My Remains,' and 'Victimized' (w/ 'QWERTY') were being taken for a spin for the first time. Mike Einziger from Incubus came out to rip a guitar solo on 'Bleed It Out' after the band jammed 'Sabotage' by the Beastie Boys during the extended bridge! The last time Linkin Park performed at tonight's venue was in 2011 at the end of the A Thousand Suns North American Tour, when the venue was called the Pepsi Center. The setlist was pretty dramatic in-line with the album aesthetic, with the epic triangular stage design giving way to rare performances of songs like 'Burning In The Skies' and a full 'Iridescent.' The band hit the Fiddler's Green Amphitheater twice on the Minutes To Midnight Tour, the last of which came in the middle of Projekt Revolution 2008. The band brought out Set Z, opening with an introduction by the Street Drum Corps before 'No More Sorrow' and 'Faint' brought the night to life. Along with rare tracks from the era like 'Wake 2.0' and 'In Pieces,' the setlist came complete with other rarities like an album version 'Pushing Me Away' and the MTM Tour Version of 'Cure For The Itch.' The venue was the site of the final night of Projekt Revolution 2007, on September 3, 2007 - exactly 18 years to this date! How time flies. This set opened with 'No More Sorrow' into 'Lying From You,' an equally nasty combination, and featured more tracks from the record like 'The Little Things Give You Away' and 'Hands Held High.' The outro of 'One Step Closer' was extended for the first time in jam format, which gave birth a couple months later to the proper extended outro we all know and love today.And here's another fun fact: Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance got married to Lyn-Z from Mindless Self Indulgence after this show! A full fan-edit of the band's show at the Fiddler's Green Amphitheater in Englewood, Colorado on the Honda Civic Tour on August 30, 2012! Linkin Park visited the Denver area twice on the Meteora World Tour, the last of which was their own headlining performance on Projekt Revolution 2004. This setlist was probably one of the best the band has ever concocted, and featured innumerable massive moments, like the Hip-Hop Medley with 'Step Up,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'It's Goin' Down,' the Blood, Anger, Suffering Outro Transition between 'Figure.09' and 'From The Inside,' and the band's cover of 'Wish' by Nine Inch Nails (side note: I just saw them play this song yesterday in Brooklyn!) in the encore. In 2003, the band opened for Metallica on their Summer Sanitarium Tour, taking them to the Invesco Field at Mile High. While the setlist was likely the same as the Live In Texas DVD, we actually don't have a confirmed setlist for this one - but we do know that for the second time ever, Chester joined Deftones for 'My Own Summer (Shove It)' during their set! The Hybrid Theory World Tour brought Linkin Park to Denver four times, with the last being at the Pepsi Center on the Family Values Tour in November 2001. Aaron Lewis of Staind came out for 'One Step Closer,' while the rest of the set featured goods like 'Step Up' and 'Pushing Me Away'. In June, Linkin Park performed on Ozzfest 2001, opening with 'With You' and 'Runaway' for the first time on the tour and also bringing tracks like 'A Place For My Head' and 'Forgotten' into the mix. We don't have sets for the band's first two shows in Denver (at the Gothic Theater in Englewood on the Street Soldiers Tour in February 2001 and opening for the Kottonmouth Kings on their Ridin' High Tour in October 2000, just days before Hybrid Theory was released), so if you were there and remember any info, be sure to let us know! Linkin Park's full show from Fiddler's Green Amphitheater in Englewood, Colorado on August 30, 2004. Everyone's seen the Camden 2004 performance, but have you seen this other proshot from Projekt Revolution 2004 released with the Meteora 20th Anniversary Edition? Linkin Park ended August's touring schedule in Kansas City, Missouri, and really changed things up for the last show of the month in Set B ('Iridescent' theme)! Act I immediately saw changes, with the band moving 'Up From The Bottom' up for the second time ever - the last time this happened was on the closing night of the European Tour this summer in Paris, France! The surprises kept rolling in Act II, where 'Cut The Bridge' made its return with the short Moscow Intro, and opener Jean Dawson finally appeared onstage with the band for 'Castle Of Glass!' The second verse of 'When They Come For Me' appeared during Mike's Solo, and 'Given Up' topped off the rotations at the end of Act II. 'Good Things Go' made its scheduled appearance in Act III, but the band flipped things up for the end of the set, rotating in 'Let You Fade' into the set for the first time at the end of the main set before 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' closed it up. As they closed the main set, Set B was topped off with 'In The End' and 'Faint' in the encore for the first time. Seems like the band is getting really creative with the sets at the mid-point of the tour! At this point, it's hard to say what we can expect from the setlist in Denver! The band are slated to bring out Set C ('Burn It Down' theme) at this show, which was last performed in Minneapolis, Minnesota over a week ago. The set last featured 'Points Of Authority,' 'Crawling,' and 'New Divide' in Act I, 'Castle Of Glass' and 'IGYEIH' in Act II, 'Stained' in Act III, and 'Let You Fade' in Act IV. It's anyone's best guess as to what'll happen with Act I, but there's a number of things we'll be looking out for in the rest of the set, too. With Jean Dawson now guesting on 'Castle Of Glass,' will the song be rotated out for 'Lies Greed Misery' or remain a staple for a few more shows before Jean Dawson ends his run on the tour? 'Stained' moved around the set quite a bit at recent shows, so it'll be interesting to see if it keeps its position in Act III. With 'Let You Fade' being moved to Set B and 'A Place For My Head' in Set A, 'From The Inside' could be lined up for Set C - rumor has it that the band soundchecked 'Unshatter' at the last show, too, so it could finally be time for the song to make its live debut! Of course, we'll also be looking out to see if 'Up From The Bottom' gets moved up again or keeps its regular position. What are your guesses for tonight's setlist? Linkin Park performing 'Castle Of Glass' with Jean Dawson at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri on August 31, 2025. Great to see another opener coming out onstage with the band after the success with PVRIS! Who's going to the show? Jean Dawson opens the show and will possibly be guesting with the band later on in the night, so be sure to check his set out if you can make it on time! Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting a beautiful and hot day ahead for Denver, with temperatures soaring up to 89°F in the day and down to a brisk 60°F at night with nothing but sunny skies ahead, so dress light and be ready to jam! Linkin Park's tour continues this week to the west coast with a show in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday before taking a week off, returning on September 13 with a hometown show in Los Angeles, California. With all the recent Linkinpedia updates we've been doing as far as the show pages show, we'd like your help in expanding them further! We are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 tour, including wristbands, tickets, setlists, exclusive pop-up store content, and more.

Almost convinced to do this whole little run for LPLive!

After a months-long rumor mill, the day has come! Linkin Park will be performing in Mumbai, India for their first show in the country ever for Lollapalooza India! In an email sent to LPUnderground members in India, the band confirmed that they will be appearing at the festival. "India has been somewhere we've wanted to play for a long time. Our fans there are incredibly passionate and we can't wait to finally bring out live show to them." ~ Mike Shinoda LPU Members who received the email have a special link that will take them to the festival's General Pre-Lineup Sale for first access in absence of an LPU Pre-sale. An exact date has not been given yet nor has the rest of the lineup dropped, but we'll bring you that info as it comes. Who's planning on going? My dad's side of the family is from Mumbai and I haven't been since I was 5 years old - this might be the thing that brings me back!
