What an absolute ride this tour has been. Finally got to live the real LPLive experience for the first time, going around the world and meeting so many new people, reconnecting with old friends, showing my hometown friends what the LP world is really about, and so much more. Can't wait to do it again next time - and hopefully have more money to make more trips with LOL As fun as it's been, I think everyone needs a little break from it all - us with covering the shows (as fun as it is, we do all have jobs and lives now and with more and more shows it gets harder for all of us to make that commitment; though the LPLive team is as strong as ever so we always gotcha covered), fans with checking in every single moment of every single show... the fear of our favorite band no longer being around is no longer the case this time compared to our last break. We know they will be back, so we can rest, find some new music to obsess over, and work on ourselves. It's been a pleasure guys, it may get quieter from here but we'll be ready to rock and roll once again before you know it!

We are well and truly almost at the finish line, folks. The From Zero World Tour's penultimate show is also its final festival show, seeing Linkin Park return to Werchter, Belgium to perform at the first iteration of Werchter-Parklife in five years on June 28, 2026! Linkin Park have a healthy history with the city of Werchter and its Rock Werchter festival, having played it a total of three times so far. Werchter Parklife has only happened once before in 2021, and was more of a concert series than a singular event like this years - Linkin Park will be setting the standard for this one! The band performed in the city just last year, headlining Rock Werchter 2025, performing their abbreviated festival set but still whipping out plenty of new tracks like 'Two Faced' and 'Cut The Bridge' (the latter of which saw it's debut in a festival-length set) as well as other surprises including 'Lying From You' in the encore. Prior to this appearance, Linkin Park last headlined Rock Werchter in 2017 on the One More Light European Tour, the final festival show of the tour and what would be the band's last festival show with Chester. Along with new tracks like 'One More Light,' 'Invisible,' and 'Good Goodbye,' Linkin Park delivered a huge set complete with epic moments like the 2017 version of 'Leave Out All The Rest' and a 'Faint' closer. The band's first appearance at the festival was in 2011, on the A Thousand Suns World Tour where tracks like 'No More Sorrow' and 'When They Come For Me' brought the band to a roaring introduction in Werchter. This was the band's first headline appearance in the country and their first in ten years, the last being an opening slot of the Deftones' Back To School Tour in March 2001 in Deinze. Linkin Park's full performance at the Rock Werchter festival in Werchter, Belgium on July 1, 2017 - the final festival performance with Chester, and boy did the band deliver here! The band's last show took place in Firenze, Italy and kept the streak of amazing shows alive to end off this run! Though the sun was blazing hot all day, the band made sure to deliver a set just as fierce with tracks like 'Lies Greed Misery,' 'IGYEIH,' and 'Lost In The Echo' being rotated in throughout the set. 'Let You Fade' made an appearance in Act III, meanwhile 'Lying From You,' 'Crawling,' 'Somewhere I Belong,' and 'Over Each Other' also found their way into the set. A verse of 'It's Goin' Down' appeared during Mike's solo medley after he taught the crowd the regular 'Step Up' choruses, and 'A Place For My Head' verse one snuck its way into the set during the bridge of 'Bleed It Out.' We're beginning to ask the question with some of these songs now that the tour is wrapping up - will these be the last performances of some of these songs for quite some time? No one knows what the next era's setlists and rotations will look like or what songs will make the cut. We best savor some of these last performances, cuz who knows when the next time we'll hear some of these songs will be! Linkin Park performing 'Let You Fade' at the Visarno Arena in Firenze, Italy on June 26, 2026. Who's going to the show? There's a great lineup of acts on the bill including Papa Roach, Phantogram, Clipse, and more! Papa Roach are close friends of the band, and Colin actually already guested with them earlier on the tour at Rock im Park, performing the song 'Help' on guitar with them. Their track 'See U In Hell' is one of my favorite songs of 2026 and it's made its way into the setlists this summer, so be sure to be there for their set if you can make it, they throw one hell of a show! Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting that the devastating heat plaguing the last few shows has mostly calmed down for Belgium with this show, but it'll still be pretty hot outside with temperatures at 23°C mid-day. Stay hydrated, dress light, and get ready to party! Linkin Park has one final show left on the From Zero World Tour - things wrap up on Tuesday with a rescheduled appearance in Switzerland in Zurich.

I'd expect them to do the Northeast corridor again, if not at least Philly/NYC/Boston since these cities really showed up for them. Or maybe scale production down to amphitheaters for the US if they want to hit more of these markets in like Cascadia or the Midwest. Maybe alternating every cycle between arenas and amphitheaters could be a move for them, or a mix of the two.

of course you would post this lol you may be blind to your own personal hatred of this band at this point Considering the massive heatwave going on in southwest Europe, it's a miracle these shows even went on to be honest. You have no idea how hot it is out there not only for the fans packed tightly in the pit but for the machinery and crew and band working in those conditions (with the band moving around under lots of lighting) trying to keep everything going and deliver a performance. To post that with no further input is not the "gotcha" moment you think it is, only makes you look like a bigger jackass than you have been the past few weeks there is a difference between having an opinion and reposting baseless reviews that feed your confirmation bias. anyway, Hope everyone who went to the shows had a great time - With You back in the setlist tonight! good to see it get as much runtime as it can before the tour wraps up. shit was explosive in Munich!

We're truly in the final stretches now, folks. Linkin Park's From Zero World Tour continues with its final two-night residency of the whole run, with the band returning to headline their own shows in Madrid, Spain for two nights at the Auditorio Miguel Rios, starting tonight, June 23, 2026! With a headlining festival show already under their belts from a few shows ago at O Son do Camiňo in Santiago de Compostela, Spain has just gotten their first taste of the band in the new era and are ready to keep the party going! Opening with Inception Intro A ('Castle Of Glass' theme) into 'Lying From You,' the band delivered a full setlist at the festival while also giving their all. Songs like 'New Divide,' 'Stained,' 'Good Things Go,' 'Over Each Other,' and even a rare performance of 'With You' blessed the audience on their first show back in Spain, adding to the band's already hectic history there (check the previous pre-show post for a full rundown on great shows including the legendary Puerta de Alcalá from 2010)! The action carried on into the band's next show: a headlining performance at Portugal's Rock in Rio Lisboa festival, where the band ran through more tracks including 'A Place For My Head,' 'IGYEIH,' and an incredibly emotional rendition of 'Waiting For The End.' The action's not over in the Iberian Peninsula just yet for Linkin Park with two more headlining shows ready to keep the history books coming! Linkin Park's full performance at the Rock in Rio Lisboa festival in Lisbon, Portugal on June 21, 2026. With two nights in Madrid, we're sure the band will change up the setlist a good amount between shows! It seems we've seen just about everything the band has to offer setlist-wise on this tour so far, though some notable tracks have been missing, including 'Given Up,' 'Castle Of Glass,' 'Leave Out All The Rest,' and 'Keys To The Kingdom.' Linkin Park seem to have a comfortable amount of rotations set in for this tour, and these tracks seem to not have made it into Europe for the final run, but perhaps they have one more shot at the limelight between these two nights in Spain! And of course we'd love to see 'With You' get a little more air time before all is said and done, with only five shows total left on the entire world tour including this one. It's not impossible to think the band may have something up their sleeve for this final two-night stand, but we're sure the setlists will deliver no matter what! Who's going to the show? Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting that Linkin Park are flying straight into the belly of the beast with this one, with a powerful heatwave currently over the western side of Europe. It will be dangerously hot today with a high of 39°C (that's 102°F for my fellow Americans), so please stay hydrated (seriously), dress light, and try to stay in the shade throughout the day when you can because it will be a hot one. Linkin Park's second night at the venue takes place tomorrow (Wednesday) before the band continues to Firenze, Italy for another headlining show.

alas our run ended in Munich lol we are back at home and at work now - this is the second pre-show post ive ever had to do on my phone lol

Linkin Park continues the From Zero World Tour today for their first concert ever in the city of Lyon, France at the Groupama Stadium! While this will be the band’s first trip to Lyon, this will be the FOURTH stop in the country on the world tour after 3 massive shows there over the last few years: Paris 2024, Hellfest 2025, and Paris 2025. Overall, it’ll the band’s 18th full show in the country! Linkin Park’s last set of the tour took place at the Download festival in England, where they made history as the first female-led act to headline the festival! The band whipped out many heavy hitters like ‘A Place For My Head’ and an opening with ‘The Emptiness Machine.’ Who’s going to the show? Sorry for the late and short post - we all have work today and are still recovering from Germany (I’m writing this from my phone while on the clock lol)! Clipse and Phantogram will be opening, so be sure to check them out if you can make it on time! The From Zero World Tour continues after this show with festival appearances in Spain and Portugal!

Fixed this finally

Personally I think it's smarter to release more tracks that Emily doesn't already sing on in the studio versions right now than to have more live versions of FZ songs - and this is coming from the #1 Stained fan lol. Would like to have versions of the tracks on streaming with Emily as well - especially WFTE with that original intro. Sure, a lot of the music became more refined over the years as they performed them more but it'll be nice to have this little time capsule of the start of the era. Plenty of live releases will come down the line I'm sure with newer songs, so I'll take new releases of older music w/ Emily while we still can get them. Don't want them to rerecord old songs but I see no issues with live versions!

Linkin Park are returning to the United Kingdom for a headlining performance at the Download festival in Castle Donington, England tonight, June 14, 2026! This will be Linkin Park's fifth time playing the original English edition of the festival (having also performed at other variants of the festival in Scotland, France, and Spain over the years), with the prior performances being in 2004, 2007, 2011, and 2014. Perhaps the most memorable of them all was the band's 2014 performance, where they performed Hybrid Theory in its entirety - the first (and only) time to date the band performed a set promising a full album. They delivered on their promise, opening with 'Papercut' and setting off through the record, with tracks like 'With You' and 'Runaway' being performed in full for the first time on the leg of the tour (having been shortened on all prior shows), and others like 'Pushing Me Away' being performed for the first time since 2008. 'Cure For The Itch' was actually performed for the first time ever in its entirety, with new spoken word vocals from Mike for the performance - the song was last performed in 2011. The biggest comebacks of the night were 'By Myself,' being performed for the first time since 2003, and 'Forgotten,' being performed for the first time since 2002. Most of the rarer songs were only brought out for this show, so if you saw them here you really saw something insane! Linkin Park performing Hybrid Theory in its entirety at the Download festival in Castle Donington, England on June 14, 2014. Will we ever see the band do something like this again? Minutes To Midnight 2027 sounds pretty tantalizing... Tonight's show at Download is a historic one for both the band and the festival - with Emily Armstrong now leading the charge, Linkin Park will be the first band with a female lead in the festival's history to headline! We know Emily will deliver on all fronts, and even with a festival-length set of 90 minutes we're sure the band will give it everything they've got. It's possible the band whip out some of the heavier rotations like 'IGYEIH' or 'Casualty,' or possibly 'A Place For My Head' here to amp up the energy, but it's unlike the band to "cater" their setlist to the type of show. Expect all the hits and perhaps a few unexpected surprises in there - we sure wouldn't complain if 'With You' gets some more air time on this tour! Who's going to the show? It's a somewhat cool day with no rain in the forecast, so stay hydrated and get ready to party! A bunch of other great bands are on today's lineup including Bad Omens, The Pretty Reckless, Bloodywood (who opened for the band on their India tour dates earlier this year), Mastodon, and so many more! After this show, Linkin Park returns to France for a headlining show in Lyon before continuing their festival runs in O Son do Camiño in Spain and Rock in Rio Lisboa in Portugal. As always, we are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 and 2026 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)! Last year we 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, and will be bringing you an overview of both tour and general news updates, 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)!

As the Download festival in England opens its doors for the first time this weekend and Linkin Park due to headline on Sunday, more teasers for the Unshatter Movie have gone up, and the ones at the festival are claiming that alongside the film, there will be a film soundtrack featuring the Live In São Paulo audio! It looks like instead of releasing a live DVD of the 2024 show as originally planned, the show will be converted into a live album with music being used in the documentary. No word on if this component of the release will have any visual aspect beyond clips in the documentary or on any release dates yet.

The LPLive 2026 Euro Trip comes to an end tonight, and as does Linkin Park's adventures in Germany on the From Zero World Tour, but we're ready to take it out with a bang! Linkin Park plays their final German show of the world tour TONIGHT, June 12, 2026, for their second night at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany! After talks with the boys, night one in Munich may have just been the best setlist we have seen all tour. The main prize of the night was 'With You' finally making an appearance as a rotation song after 'Waiting For The End,' marking its second performance with the new lineup and the first in a headlining show on the tour after its tour debut at Rock am Ring! The setlist continued to deliver with fan-favorites like 'Stained' and 'Good Things Go,' as well as 'Unshatter' and 'Over Each Other' in other rotation slots throughout the set. With a 'Lying From You' opener and 'Crawling,' 'Up From The Bottom,' 'New Divide,' and 'The Emptiness Machine' bringing the show to a flying start and an incredible crowd to boot, this show was destined for excellence. Linkin Park performing 'With You' at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on June 11, 2026. Not pictured is me losing my mind in the LPU Pit mosh pit! Munich night two is sure to see some more switch ups as the band are careful not to repeat rotations between nights (though I don't think anyone would complain about a 'With You' double feature though) - on this leg we are still missing 'Given Up,' 'Castle Of Glass,' 'Keys To The Kingdom,' and 'Leave Out All The Rest' from the current batch of potential rotations. Maybe tonight will be the night one of them makes it back to Europe! Who's going to the show? Myself, AndOne, Hahninator, and Jon D. Barker will all be in attendance for our last show together of the run as well as plenty of other familiar faces from the community, so be sure to say hi if you see us! Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting another cold and rainy day ahead but the rain should clear up for show time - bundle up but be ready to jump back into those pits! After this show, the band heads over to the UK for the Download festival before heading to Lyon, France to continue their headlining expedition. As always, we are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 and 2026 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)!

Hello from the new LPLive headquarters in Germany (a.k.a. our AirBNB)! Hahninator, Jon D. Barker, AndOne, and yours truly have returned to Deutschland and are ready to wrap up this Euro trip with a massive TWO NIGHTS at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany for their sixth and seventh shows (seventh and eighth performances overall) in the city, the first of which is tonight, June 11, 2026! The band's most recent performance in Munich was actually within the From Zero World Tour itself, and while it wasn't a full show, it may arguably be the band's most viewed performance ever. The band performed at the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show in May 2025, playing a unique medley of shortened hits including 'The Emptiness Machine,' 'Up From The Bottom,' 'Numb,' 'In The End,' and 'Heavy Is The Crown.' The quick performance was seen by millions worldwide watching the event - and was preceded by the announcement of the band's 2026 European Stadium tour that we are on right now. Linkin Park's last proper show in Munich was way back in 2014 on The Hunting Party World Tour, featuring the likes of 'Guilty All The Same,' 'Rebellion,' and 'Final Masquerade' in the set - along with 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You' and the current talk-of-the-town 'With You.' Can Munich do it again? Linkin Park's full UEFA Champions League Kick Off Show performance at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on May 31, 2025. Just over a year later, the band are back at the venue - twice sold out - for their own shows! Prior to that show, Linkin Park's next most recent show in Munich also happened to be the last show to date branded Projekt Revolution - the band brought a string of headlining shows around Europe under the guise of Projekt Revolution: Europe in the midst of their 2011 European Tour during the A Thousand Suns World Tour, with a lineup featuring some real throwbacks: Guano Apes, Dredg, Anberlin, and Middle Class Rut. Meanwhile, the band's prior show on their 2008 Summer Tour was the first to promoted under this Projekt Revolution: Europe mini-tour (which also featured the Roads To Revolution Milton Keynes show). This set was full of amazing songs too, including a full 'Reading My Eyes,' 'Wake 2.0,' and a 'One Step Closer' show opener. The band's first two shows in the city date all the way back to 2001 - the latter of the two coming on their 2001 European Tour in September, their first headlining tour on the continent. We don't have a setlist for this show (if you have any info, be sure to let us know! link below for the Linkinpedia contact), but we do know that the venue was upgraded to a larger one due to demand. Their very first show in Munich was an opening slot on the Deftones' 'Back To School' Tour in March 2001, playing through pretty much everything from Hybrid Theory barring 'Cure For The Itch' and 'Crawling.' With the band back at the Allianz Arena for their own show this time, we sure history will continue in the city with these two back-to-back shows! Some old-school cool: Linkin Park performing 'Reading My Eyes' at the Reitstadion Riem in Munich, Germany on June 21, 2008. Simply don't know what we'd do if something like this happened in the big '26 - but perhaps 'With You' could be the spark that ignites our reaction... After two massively successful shows at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, the band returned to their headlining show course in Vienna, Austria at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion. Though it may have rained and connection was subzero, the crowd pulled through and saw a variety of good rotations, including the second performance of 'Lost In The Echo' this year as well as 'Over Each Other,' 'Lies Greed Misery,' 'IGYEIH,' and 'Let You Fade' making appearances as well. With any two night stand, anything is possible for these next shows. The one question on everyone's mind right now is: when will 'With You' make another appearance? Going back all the way to Hamburg night one, 'With You' was spotted on a stray setlist handed to a fan in the rotation spot where 'A Place For My Head' was played (i.e. after 'Waiting For The End') - could it feature there on one of these nights? Or did the band save it for the one night at Rock am Ring? Other rotation songs still missing from Europe include 'Keys To The Kingdom,' 'Given Up,' 'Castle Of Glass,' and also 'Leave Out All The Rest' - it's possible these songs have been their last of the From Zero World Tour at this rate, but there is still time yet for surprises! Linkin Park performing 'Lost In The Echo' at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna, Austria on June 11, 2026. With a handful of rotation songs still left in their back pocket, will Linkin Park whip out some more goods between two nights in Munich? Who's going to the show? The LPLive crew and whole slew of other fans will be in Munich for the two shows before I sadly have to go back to work next week, but we're gonna ride this tour out high! If you see us hanging out during the day, be sure to say hi! Linkin Park's second show in Munich and final show in Germany on this world tour will be tomorrow, June 12 before the band continues east for a headlining performance at the Download festival in England and a headlining performance in Lyon, France (that will feature a special edition vinyl available only at this show!). As always, we are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 and 2026 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)!

WHO LET THEM COOK? After another Rock am Ring for the ages, Linkin Park are still in action as they head over to headline the sister festival Rock im Park in Nürnburg, Germany on June 7, 2026! Rock im Park is perhaps just as important to Linkin Park as Rock am Ring, but it gets the short end of the stick for fans being that it generally is not livestreamed. That being said, Linkin Park has performed there just as many times as they have Rock am Ring, though surprisingly not all in the same year. The band doubled up on performances at Rock im Park 2001, performing their scheduled set earlier in the day which mostly mirrored their Rock am Ring 2001 set, missing some of the shenanigans. This came complete with the 'With You' and 'Runaway' opening combo and goods like 'By Myself' and 'Forgotten.' The band were asked to perform a second set that same day once Slipknot ended up cancelling their appearance last minute, and played pretty much the same songs in a different order (they didn't have much else they could play), moving heavier songs up in the set, opening with 'A Place For My Head' and 'Forgotten' and even throwing a tease of 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns N' Roses' into the mix. For their first Rock im-performances, the band really showed up ready to work! Linkin Park's second performance at Rock im Park 2001 on June 2, 2001, filling in for Slipknot. The crowd initial boo'ed the band, but by the end of the set, Linkin Park had completely won them over. Like with Rock am Ring 2003, the band's first headlining appearance at the festival was slated for Rock im Park 2003, but the entire 2003 European Tour was cancelled to to Chester being hospitalized with severe pains. And while they played a legendary set at Rock am Ring 2004, the band had to skip Rock im Park 2004 due to obligations headlining the Download festival in England (due to the fact they played two shows in 2001, the count of performances at Rock im Park and Rock am Ring still match up). The band finally returned to the Nürnburg stage at Rock im Park 2007, a day following their legendary appearance at Rock am Ring 2007. The setlist was much the same, with songs like 'Leave Out All The Rest' and 'The Little Things Give You Away' being freshly dusted off on this first full leg of the tour and songs like 'Given Up' and 'No More Sorrow' (which had a new Brad Guitar Tease intro here) continued to impress the crowds. It was at this show that the band let the crowd sing the whole bridge of 'In The End' for the first time, too - a tradition that stands still to this day! The band returned for Rock im Park 2012, opening their set with a vicious combo of 'A Place For My Head' (with a brand new show-opening intro that had the fanbase in a headlock back in the day), 'Given Up,' 'Faint,' 'With You,' 'Runaway,' and 'From The Inside' - a true masterclass in epic openings. 'Numb,' which featured much earlier in the set than it normally does, had a false start on it while 'Breaking The Habit' featured a keyboard outro transition that segued into the Ballad Medley. The band brought up a fan named Richard - who had played the unique 'There They Go' and 'Faint' mashup on guitar with the band at their Berlin 2007 performance - during 'Bleed It Out' to propose to his girlfriend before the band kicked into a cover of the Beastie Boys' 'Sabotage.' The band's most recent outing at the festival was at Rock im Park 2014, where The Hunting Party songs like 'Guilty All The Same' and 'Wastelands' got a chance to shine. Other rare tracks like 'A Light That Never Comes' and 'Robot Boy' (the latter in the form of an interlude) also made appearances in this set. With a healthy history at the festival and a massive Rock am Ring performance behind them, we're sure big things are ahead for this year's festival, too! Footage from Linkin Park's performance at Rock im Park 2012 on June 3, 2012. Now, let's talk about the big guns: Rock am Ring 2026. It takes a lot for Linkin Park to impress the LPLive team nowadays after doing this for nearly 20 years, but yesterday was one of those nights we were blown away. Kicking the show off by announcing their Unshatter documentary (out in theaters soon), the band made sure fans knew this was a spectacle, with both the fans there and the ones watching at home already exploding with excitement. The surprises didn't stop there, as the band did the unthinkable: instead of opening the show with the regular Inception Intro, they whipped out the old Rock am Ring Intro from their 2001 show, right before performing 'With You' for the first time with Emily, Colin, and Alex, and for the first time overall since 2014! This song has been highly requested by fans since Colin mentioned wanting to play it last year - and they really did their homework for it. Complete with all the classic moments from the iconic "come on!" scream at the intro, Emily matching Chester's color scheme from the 2001 show, and the ever-beloved "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Hahn," it was truly a phenomenal performance. And though the band's set was a shortened 90 minute festival one, they packed it full of goods including 'Lying From You,' 'A Place For My Head,' and what might just be the best performance of 'IGYEIH' yet. To top it all off, Mike even threw in a verse of 'Reading My Eyes' over the extended bridge of 'Bleed It Out.' Ending the show with 'Faint' (perhaps as a nod to Rock am Ring 2007), fireworks sounded off as the band finished up their triumphant return to the festival. This really was another classic Linkin Park show in the making, with the band firing off on a cylinders from performance to setlist. Linkin Park's full set from Rock am Ring 2026 on June 5, 2026. This will definitely be another show to add to the legendary Rock am Ring archives! One thing we didn't see much of at Rock am Ring was collaborations - and we know the band has a lot of friends in town for this one. Papa Roach and Architects go on before the band on the Utopia Stage, while Don Broco plays on another. Limp Bizkit's set falls a good 45 minutes after Linkin Park's here as well, and with pictures of the band with Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach members floating around on Instagram now, maybe there could be some magic made onstage between them all! With a shortened festival set again on our hands, its unlikely we'll see too many rotations in the set, but we'll definitely see some flip ups - maybe some different Hybrid Theory songs like 'Crawling' or 'Points Of Authority,' and likely a different heavy song - 'Given Up' is still waiting for an appearance in Europe. The biggest question on our minds is whether or not the trailer + Rock am Ring Intro + 'With You' opening combination sticks around for the following shows, or if that was just a Rock am Ring special. We'll find out tonight! Who's going to the show? After this festival, the band get back on to headlining stadiums with a show in Vienna, Austria and two in Munich, Germany - I'm parked up in Vienna for the weekend ready for the action, so I will be seeing you there! Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting a pretty beautiful day ahead for the festival, if not a bit cool with temperatures up to 22°C and down to 9°C. Dress appropriately and get to have a lot of fun with a lot of great music! As always, we are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 and 2026 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)! Last year we 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, and will be bringing you an overview of both tour and general news updates, 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)!
