January 18, 2026 - Sakhir, Bahrain (Beyon Al Dana Amphitheater) January 20, 2026 - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (Etihad Arena - Yas Island) January 25, 2026 - Mumbai, India (Lollapalooza India) LPU Presales will be available for the Middle East shows: LPU Legacy Presale: Monday, September 1 @ 11am (local time) LPU Passport Plus Presale: Monday, September 1 @ 12pm (local time) Abu Dhabi General Sale: Thursday, September 4 @ 12pm GST Sakhir General Sale: Friday, September 5 @ 8am AST Who's planning on going? 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!

Things are definitely getting interesting on tour now! Linkin Park are bringing the From Zero World Tour to Minneapolis, Minnesota's Target Center for their tenth show in the Twin Cities area and for the first time in over ten years! Linkin Park last visited the Twin Cities in 2014 on The Hunting Party Tour where they the Minnesota State Fair mid-tour in the suburb of Falcon Heights, Minnesota. The time before that was on the A Thousand Suns World Tour, performing at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. This set featured a bunch of epic moments, including 'What I've Done' transitioning into 'Empty Spaces' and 'When They Come For Me,' 'Numb' with the Oppenheimer Outro transitioning into 'Breaking The Habit,' and a rare performance of 'Burning In The Skies!' Most of the band landed very late (8:00pm) for this show, so Meet & Greet attendees were told only Mike would be attending - but the rest of the band ended up making it! Linkin Park rocked St. Paul previously in 2008 at the same venue on the Winter North American Tour in February, where the band rolled through an epic Set T. Featuring an amazing opening sequence of 'What I've Done' with its AMBO Intro into 'Faint,' 'No More Sorrow,' 'Somewhere I Belong,' 'Lying From You,' 'From The Inside,' and 'Points Of Authority' with a verse of 'In Stereo,' you could call this one of the best opening runs the band's ever conceived. That's kick our ass in the present day! Other highlights from the set include Minutes To Midnight rarities like 'Hands Held High' and 'Valentine's Day,' as well as a double encore, the first of which opened with a sobering performance of 'My December.' Linkin Park's full show at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota on January 28, 2011. A classic A Thousand Suns-era setlist, this was the last time Linkin Park visited the area! The band made three stops in the Twin Cities on the Meteora World Tour, the last of which was in January 2004 on the Winter North American Tour that year. Kicking off with the dynamic duo of 'With You' and 'Runaway,' the band came out exploding as they launched into more new tracks like 'Don't Stay' and 'Numb.' Rare tracks like 'It's Goin' Down,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'P5hng Me A*wy' also made their way into the set, and the band even played a cover of 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl' by Jet - the rumor is that Chester dared Mike to dress up as the lead singer of Jet and sing the cover, and he did, even playing the rest of the encore in the get up! The band opened for Metallica on their Summer Sanitarium Tour in the summer of 2003, which fans will know from the Live In Texas DVD. Boasting all the goods like 'From The Inside,' 'Figure.09,' and 'By Myself,' the band delivered an awesome show, surely winning over hordes of Metallica fans while they were at it! Linkin Park's first show of the Meteora cycle in the city was at the Quest Club in Minneapolis on the LP Underground Tour earlier in the year, where fans were the first to hear new music from the album, including rare tracks like 'Hit The Floor' and 'Easier To Run.' Linkin Park rocked the Twin Cities four times on the Hybrid Theory World Tour, the last of which was on the Family Values Tour, rocking the Xcel Energy Center for the very first time in October 2001. A classic setlist featuring goods like 'Forgotten' and 'A Place For My Head,' the band's 45-minute set was packed full of energy. The band's very first headlining show in the city was back in February of that year, on the Street Soldiers Tour at the Quest Club where songs like 'Pushing Me Away' and 'Crawling' were being played for the first time. In December 2000, Linkin Park played 93X's Post Nut-Cracked Party Afterparty for free, after the likes of Deftones, Taproot, and Papa Roach played the actual event, while their very first show in the area was in August, on their very first tour, opening for the Union Underground's An Education In Rebellion Tour. We don't know much about these very early shows, so if you were at any and remember any details, let us know! Linkin Park performing at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota on July 27, 2003 on Metallica's Summer Sanitarium Tour. If you want to see what the Live In Texas shows looked like from an audience perspective, look no further! The From Zero World Tour's last stop was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the band continued to surprise us midway through the tour! Performing Set B ('Iridescent' interludes), the band switched up the rotations for Act I once again, whipping out 'Points Of Authority' (normally only played in Set C), 'Stained' for a second show in a row at the start of the show, and 'Crawling,' returning for the first time in three shows. The rest of the set proceeded as expected, with 'Lies Greed Misery' and 'Given Up' in Act II (along with a verse of 'It's Goin' Down' over Mike's solo), 'Good Things Go' in Act III, and 'A Place For My Head' in the encore. Mike continued delivering the deep cuts with his verses, ending the night by whipping out the first verse of 'Reading My Eyes' by Xero during the extended bridge of 'Bleed It Out!' With the band switching up Act I now, it's hard to say exactly what to expect at this show, but if they play things by the books, Minneapolis should be lined up for Set C with the following rotations (as per the set's last appearance in Nashville, Tennessee) : 'Points Of Authority,' 'Crawling,' and 'New Divide' in Act I, 'Castle Of Glass' and 'IGYEIH' (or possibly 'Keys To The Kingdom') in Act II, 'Stained' in Act III, and 'Let You Fade' in Act IV. With 'Stained' becoming comfortable in Act I, it'll be interesting to see what happens in this set if it appears early again! The U.S. has been missing out on some 'Cut The Bridge' action lately, too, so it wouldn't be too surprising to see that song subbed in for 'New Divide' in Act I instead of 'Stained' moving out of its regular spot. Linkin Park's full show at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 25, 2025. The band are absolutely rolling and in-form now that we've reached the halfway point of the tour. Will they continue to shake things up in Minnesota? Who's going to the show? LPLive gear guru and walking Linkin Park encyclopedia Astat will be attending, so if you see him be sure to say hi! Jean Dawson will be opening the show yet again, so if you can arrive early be sure not to miss him! Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report a nice summer day is ahead for Minneapolis, with highs at a brisk 76°F and down to a brisk 60°F in the evening. It'll be prime weather for a concert, but maybe bring a hoodie or sweatshirt with you for once the night is over! After this show, the band continues through the Midwest with shows in Omaha, Nebrasks and Kansas City, Missouri before taking a few days off before resuming the tour in Denver, Colorado. 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.

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)!

We've made it to the halfway point of the tour, and things may be starting to get interesting! Linkin Park are bringing the From Zero World Tour to the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 25, 2025! This will be Linkin Park's eleventh show in the state of Wisconsin, fifth show in the Milwaukee area, and first headlining show in Milwaukee itself! Linkin Park last visited Milwaukee in 2015 on The Hunting Party World Tour, playing their first show ever in the city itself headlining Summerfest 2015 on the final stop of their summer North American leg. The band whipped out tracks from the new record like 'Rebellion' and 'Wastelands,' even whipping out the super rare 'A Line In The Sand' for the crowd! The awesome setlist opened with 'Papercut,' also diving into heavier hits like 'Given Up' and 'From The Inside,' while also finding time for softer moments like the Ballad Medley featuring 'Leave Out All The Rest,' 'Shadow Of The Day,' and 'Iridescent,' a shortened version of 'Darker Than Blood,' and a full band 'Welcome.' This was the band's first show in or near Milwaukee in seven years, the last time before this being on Projekt Revolution 2008, when the band hit Elkhorn in the summer. Opening with a nasty sequence of 'No More Sorrow' preceded by its Long Intro and a Street Drum Corps intro, 'Lying From You,' and 'Somewhere I Belong,' Linkin Park delivered Set Z to the crowd with a strong fervor. The band brought out some rare songs like 'Wake 2.0,' 'In Pieces,' and the Minutes To Midnight Tour Version of 'Cure For The Itch.' Other treats include an album version performance of 'Pushing Me Away,' Chris Cornell joining the band for 'Crawling' after Mike rapped 'Hands Held High' over the 'KRWLNG' intro, and 'Bleed It Out' closing with a drum solo and a bit of 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns N' Roses! Prior to 2008, Linkin Park last visited the area on Projekt Revolution 2004, headlining the venue in Elkhorn for the first time. This show featured one of the band's most renowned setlists, with the likes of 'Don't Stay' with its Gacela Intro opening the show, the Hip-Hop Medley with 'Step Up,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'It's Goin' Down,' and the Blood, Anger, Suffering Outro Transition between 'Figure.09' and 'From The Inside!' And who can forget the band's cover of 'Wish' by Nine Inch Nails in the encore? The band's very first show in the area was in Elkhorn at the start of Ozzfest 2001, which was actually a very interesting show for this period of the band's history! The band completely changed their setlist at this show, opening with 'Points Of Authority' for the first and only time ever. Other treats from the set include the unstoppable combo of 'With You' and 'Runaway,' as well as 'By Myself' and 'A Place For My Head' toward the end of the set. The band was experimenting with the start of the set around this time, and this was by far the most unique set they put together at the time! The first three songs from Linkin Park's first show in the area in Elkhorn, Wisconsin on June 9, 2001. This setlist takes the cake for one of the most unique openers at the time, with 'Points Of Authority' kicking off a show for the only time ever. The last show on the From Zero World Tour took place in St. Louis, Missouri, and the setlist may be an indicator that things will be starting to get interesting on this leg! The band performed Set A, but changed up the rotations a bit in Act I in a surprising way! The expected 'Lying From You' and 'New Divide' came into play, but sandwiched between them was 'Stained,' appearing that early in the set for the first time and for only the second time outside of its regular spot in Act III - it replaced 'Crawling,' which was absent from the set for the first time this leg. The rest of the set proceeded as expected, with 'Castle Of Glass' and 'Casualty' in Act II (as well as the second verse of 'When They Come For Me' during Mike's solo), 'Over Each Other' in Act III, and 'From The Inside' in Act IV. The band began changing things up a lot by the end of the European Tour, so with Act I flipping up in St. Louis, we'll be keeping a close eye on what goes on in Milwaukee! Milwaukee is lined up for Set B with the 'Iridescent' theme, last played in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania last week. If the band keeps things according to the plan, Act I should include 'Crawling,' 'Cut The Bridge' with the Moscow Intro, and 'Lying From You,' Act II with 'Lies Greed Misery' and 'Given Up,' Act III with 'Good Things Go,' and 'A Place For My Head' in the encore. Jean Dawson will be opening the show with an eclectic blend of alternative and hip-hop, and is bound to be a great start to the night with tracks like 'MENTHOL*' and 'Die For Me' dotted in his setlist. If you can make it early, don't miss his set! Linkin Park's full show at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri on August 23, 2025. Early set performance of 'Stained' could mean a lot of promise for shows going forward on this leg! Who's going to the show? Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report the coolest day of the tour so far, with a pretty cold high temperature for the summer of 67°F and a low of 52°C with mostly sunny skies throughout the day. It may get a little chilly for this one, so bring a hoodie or dress ready to jam! The band continues their tour this week, heading to Minneapolis, Omaha, and Kansas City, next before taking a couple days off at the start of September before resuming in Denver.

We’re a little late to the party today, but the real fun is just about to begin! Linkin Park returns to Missouri tonight for their first time in the state in 17 years at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis! Linkin Park last performed in the state in 2008, at Maryland Heights on Projekt Revolution 2008. Opening with ‘No More Sorrow’ featuring the Street Drum Corps, band whipped out a bunch of rare tracks from Minutes To Midnight including ‘In Pieces’ and ‘Wake 2.0,’ with Mike even whipping out the first verse of ‘Reading My Eyes’ over the extended intro of ‘Bleed It Out!’ Prior to that, the band last visited the state on Projekt Revolution 2004 at the same venue, featuring one of the most packed setlists the band has ever played, including the Hip-Hop Medley, the Blood Anger Suffering transition between ‘Figure.09’ and ‘From The Inside,’ and the band’s cover of ‘Wish’ by Nine Inch Nails. The band last performed in St. Louis proper in 2003, earlier on the Meteora World Tour on Summer Sanitarium, opening for Metallica (the same tour as Live In Texas)! They played twice that year, also hitting the city at the very beginning of the tour on the LP Underground Tour, which saw the band trying out new songs from Meteora, including the very rare ‘Hit The Floor’ and ‘Easier To Run.’ The band hit Missouri five times on the Hybrid Theory World Tour, the last of which was in November 2001 on the Countdown To Revolution Tour in St. Charles. The band hit Maryland Heights for the first time that summer on the Ozzfest, and their first headlining show in St. Louis was on the Street Soldiers Tour earlier in the year, where ‘Crawling’ and ‘Pushing Me Away’ had just debuted. The band’s first shows in St. Louis and Missouri were in 2000, once in November opening for P.O.D. and the very first in October, opening for the Kottommouth Kings’ Ridin’ High Tour. This very first show has one of the earliest audience recordings of the band we have! Linkin Park’s last show in Nashville was nothing short if amazing, performing Set C and even paying tribute to ‘My December’ and Chester by playing the song as the countdown song before the show began. St. louis is lined up for Set A tonight, last seen in Philadelphia last week. Rotations include ‘Lying From You’ and ‘New Divide’ in Act I, ‘Castle Of Glass’ and ‘Casualty’ in Act II, ‘Over Each Other’ in Act III, and ‘From The Inside’ in Act IV. We’ll see if anything changes up tonight now that we’re midway through the tour! Who’s going to the show? If you can make it early, don’t miss out on opener Jean Dawson! Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting a hot evening ahead with temperatures not dropping below 70 until midnight, so be prepared for the heat and get ready to jam! We’ll have you covered on everything that goes on at the show, so be sure to follow us on social media!

My pleasure - was an amazing read, incredible research and work done on the post. Really hope the band see it and play the song tonight! Hope you have a great time at the show!

The From Zero World Tour is headed to the South, and the next stop is taking Linkin Park to the musical heart of America - the band lands in Nashville, Tennessee tonight for a show at the Bridgestone Arena for their first show in the state in 10 years! We're gonna flip up the history lesson today by going in order, because while Linkin Park has played some immense shows in Nashville over the years, the most important was perhaps the very first one in 2000. The band first visited Nashville in October 2000, just two weeks before Hybrid Theory was released to the world. Opening for the Kottonmouth Kings' Ridin' High Tour, the band stopped in Nashville a day early to hit the studio to record 'My December' for the year's KROQ holiday compilation, promised with an opening slot for the Almost Acoustic Christmas later that year. The song is one of very few Linkin Park songs recorded outside of Los Angeles, and once KROQ received the song on the day of the show, they pushed it straight to radio play the next day. Our friends at LPAssociation just posted an awesome in-depth look at the details of the history surrounding the recording of 'My December,' so if you're interested in this unique moment in Linkin Park's history, read their post! Something fun they noted is that the studio 'My December' was recorded in -- though it is now demolished -- is just down the street from the Bridgestone Arena that Linkin Park is playing at tonight! The band performed in Antioch, a suburb of Nashville, on an Offest day during their Ozzfest 2001 venture, the next summer in July. While we know quite a bit about the details surrounding the recording of 'My December,' we have no info on the actual shows the band played in Tennessee around this time, so if you were there and remember any info, let us know! The band returned to Nashville on the Meteora World Tour, performing their very first show at the venue (then known as the Gaylord Entertainment Center) and bringing a number of rare tracks along with them - including the Tennessee debut of 'My December!' Beyond being hit with a number of tracks from Meteora for the first time, including 'From The Inside' and 'Don't Stay' with an extended intro, the band whipped our rarities like 'It's Goin' Down' and 'Nobody's Listening' in full at this show! 'P5hng Me A*wy' was dropped from this show for an unknown reason, despite being part of the setlist for the rest of the tour. Mike brought up a fan name Dallas onstage to play 'Faint' with them, and even more guests came onstage for 'One Step Closer' - Sonny Sandoval from P.O.D., Dan Marsala from Story Of The Year, and Doug Robb from Hoobastank all came out to jam with the band! Linkin Park returned to the venue again in 2008 on the Winter North American Tour during the Minutes To Midnight World Tour, delivering the unreal Set T to the city. Opening with 'What I've Done' and its legendary AMBO Intro, the band then launched into 'Faint,' 'No More Sorrow' with its long intro, 'Somewhere I Belong,' 'Lying From You,' 'Points Of Authority' with an 'In Stereo' intro and 'There They Go' outro (which saw some technical difficulties), and 'From The Inside' - what an unreal start to a show! Other treats in the setlist included 'Hands Held High' in full, 'Valentine's Day,' and 'A Place For My Head' in the encore - and we can't forget that they threw 'My December' in again to start the first encore! Linkin Park's full show at the Gaylord Entertainment Center (now the Bridgestone Arena) in Nashville, Tennessee on February 29, 2004. An essential recording of this tour, which featured an awesome setlist full of rarities we'd love to see today! Linkin Park last performance in Nashville was in 2015, on the ill-fated The Hunting Party North American Tour. Nashville was the second of only three shows that actually took place on that tour after the majority of it had to be cancelled due to Chester breaking his ankle before the following show in Indianapolis. This setlist saw the debut of the 2015 version of Set B for its one and only performance. 'From The Inside' and 'A Place For My Head' were added to the set in place of 'With You,' 'Rebellion,' 'Somewhere I Belong,' and 'Until It's Gone,' while the 2014 version of 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You' appeared for the very last time to date. Aaron Pauley of Of Mice & Men came out to join the band for the 'Iridescent' portion of the Ballad Medley, while former vocalist Austin Carlile came out to sing 'Faint' with them! Linkin Park's sixth show in Nashville is tonight - will history continue to be written? Linkin Park performing the 'Remember The Name' portion of Mike's Solo Medley and the 2014 Abridged Version of 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You' at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee on January 17, 2015! This was the last time 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You' was performed in any form, with the original 'Lying From You' returning to the sets in 2024. The band brought the house down once again at their last show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's PPG Paints Arena on Tuesday! Linkin Park delivered Set B (with 'Iridescent' interludes) to the crowd, opening Act I with 'Somewhere I Belong,' 'Crawling,' 'Cut The Bridge' with the Moscow Intro, 'Lying From You,' and 'The Emptiness Machine.' Act II followed suit with its standard run including 'Up From The Bottom' and 'The Catalyst.' 'Castle Of Glass' and 'Given Up' rotated into their respective slots, but Mike really brought the goods with his solo medley, rapping his verse from the Ziggurats album's 'Richard Bachman' for the first time ever! Not only was this the song's first appearance ever, it was the first time anything from Mike's Twitch/NFT collection of songs has been performed live! Seems like some more rare verses are back on the menu after he was seeming to get comfortable with 'Lift Off' and 'Until It Breaks' for a bit! 'Good Things Go' came in Act III, while 'A Place For My Head' took the final rotation in the encore. 'One' by Metallica was played by Mike on keys during the extended intro of 'Overflow,' as well. While the variety on the setlists from night to night may not be as unpredictable as the Europe Tour this summer, there are still fun moments every night making each show special! If the band keeps their setlist rotation in order, Nashville should be lined up for Set C ('Burn It Down' vocals in the interludes) tonight, last performed in Detroit, Michigan a week ago. Set C should deliver the following songs to Nashville: 'Points Of Authority,' 'Crawling,' and 'New Divide' in Act I, 'Lies Greed Misery' and either 'IGYEIH' or 'Keys To The Kingdom' (likely the latter, as 'IGYEIH' was played in Detroit) in Act II, 'Stained' in Act III, and 'Let You Fade' at the end of the main set. Given that the song was essentially born in the city, LOTS of fans online have been campaigning for the band to add 'My December' into the show for tonight's set! The song was being performed in a new acoustic version in 2024, so it's really not out of the question for the band to bring it back out tonight for Nashville. The song hasn't been performed in its home since 2008 on the Minutes To Midnight Tour after being skipped in 2015, so it's high time for a homecoming performance! IT would be a lovely moment as 'My December' was perhaps one of the most emotional moments of the sets last year, and was really a welcome treat for everyone who got to hear it. We'd love to see it make an appearance in Nashville, too, so we're right there with all of you hoping it shows up! Linkin Park's full show (and Jean Dawson's full set) from the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August 19, 2025! An epic crowd and in-form performance from the band, this is definitely one you want to check out! Jean Dawson will be opening the show in Nashville, and his sets have been impressing Linkin Park fans once again. His eclectic blend of genres (with a foundation of hip-hop) brings quite an electrifying start to the show, with tracks like 'Black Sugar' and 'THREE HEADS*' kicking off the set. More poppy tracks like 'Die For Me' and 'New Age Crisis' bring a lighter mix to the set before 'MENTHOL*' takes things out on an anthemic note. His set will definitely impress and get you ready for Linkin Park to follow, so don't miss him if you can make it there early! Who's going to the show? Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report that after some strong storms rolling through yesterday, things should clear right up today for the show but will remain hot with temperatures in the low 90s. A stray thunderstorm can't be ruled out leading into the evening, but it should otherwise be a pretty hot and clear day, so dress light and maybe bring a hoodie along in case the rain does start coming down! After this show, the band travels deeper into the center of the United States as they hit the Midwest with shows in St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis over the next week! Linkin Park expanded their 2026 touring schedule next year with the announcement of second nights for all three dates on their Australian Tour next March, doubling the length of the tour. 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.

Linkin Park are returning down under for the first time in 13 years in March next year, and the fun just doubled - every show is getting a second night, only two days after the tour went onsale! The new nights are in bold: March 3, 2026 - Brisbane, QLD (Brisbane Entertainment Center) March 5, 2026 - Brisbane, QLD (Brisbane Entertainment Center) March 8, 2026 - Melbourne, VIC (Rod Laver Arena) March 10, 2026 - Melbourne, VIC (Rod Laver Arena) March 14, 2026 - Sydney, NSW (Qudos Bank Arena) March 15, 2026 - Sydney, NSW (Qudos Bank Arena) LPU Legacy + Passport Plus Pre-Sale: August 21 @ 12PM AEST Public Onsale: August 22 @ 11AM AEST Though it's a small tour, when's the last time you can say every show on the tour got a second night? An impressive sight to see once again from the band in the new era! Who's planning on going to any of the new shows?

Pennsylvania, we're not done with you just yet! After a much needed few days off, the From Zero World Tour continues back to the west as Linkin Park returns to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the first time since 2003 (and the first time in the area since 2008) for their first show ever at the PPG Paints Arena on August 19, 2025! While Philly gets most of the attention from the band in this state, this will be Linkin Park's fifth show in Pittsburgh, our eighth overall if we include Burgettstown right outside of Pittsburgh. That's where the band's last show in the Pittsburgh-area was back in 2008 on Projekt Revolution 2008, performing at the Post-Gazette Pavilion (now called The Pavilion at Star Lake) as the second stop of the tour. The band debuted a modified Set Y at this show, making changes like switching out the piano version of 'Pushing Me Away' for the album version and subbing in 'We Made It,' a rare performance of the song right off its debut with Busta Rhymes, Spliff Star, and Adam Monroe all joining the band onstage. Chris Cornell joined the band for 'Crawling,' which featured its 'KRWLNG' intro with a verse of 'Hands Held High' over it. Other great moments from this show include the Street Drum Corps performing an intro before 'What I've Done' and its AMBO Intro opened the show and coming out again for 'One Step Closer' to end the show with Linkin Park and Mike rapping 'Bloc Party' over the extended intro of 'Points Of Authority!' Chester also joined Chris Cornell during his set earlier in the day for 'Hunger Strike' by Temple Of The Dog! The band's show before that in the area was also at this venue in Burgettstown, though this time we are jumping back to the Meteora World Tour - more specifically, Projekt Revolution 2004! This show came more in the middle of the tour, but featured all the epics you'd expect from a tour this famous: the Blood, Anger, Suffering Outro Transition from 'Figure.09' into 'From The Inside,' Jonathan Davis coming out to sing the Reanimated Bridge on 'One Step Closer,' the Hip-Hop Medley featuring 'Step Up,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'It's Goin' Down' (featuring breakdancing from Ivan the Urban Action Figure), and the band's cover of Nine Inch Nails' 'Wish!' Bert McCracken from The Used came out as well to play 'Faint' with the band. Pittsburgh has certainly seen a whole crew of guests come out throughout the years! Things get a little hazy from here. Linkin Park's last show in Pittsburgh proper goes all the way back to December 2003, headlining The X's Kick Ass X-Mas. Weatherman Rogue Soul taking over the history section here - heavy snow in the area almost prevented this show from occurring as it was uncertain as to whether or not all the bands could make it through the conditions - but the show went on! We have no idea what the set was at this show (as is the case for many of these earlier shows in Pittsburgh), but we know the fans who braved the snow definitely got a kick ass set. Jumping back to the Hybrid Theory World Tour, the band's first jaunt in Burgettstown was on Ozzfest 2001. We don't know the setlist once again for this one, but we know something that's perhaps far more important: Chester dressed up as Super Chester and invaded Papa Roach's stage during their set (it was Jacoby Shaddix's birthday)! Check out the pictures on the show page! The only known set from Pittsburgh around this area was from earlier in the year, when the band played Metropol (moved from Club Laga due to demand) on the Street Soldiers Tour - and it even has a recording! Opening with the legendary duo of 'With You' and 'Runaway,' the band burst through all of the rare Hybrid Theory essentials like 'Forgotten,' 'By Myself,' 'And One,' and the Mike Shinoda Remix of 'High Voltage,' while still finding time for the soon-to-be hits like 'Papercut' and 'In The End.' The band performed at the same venue in November 2000, opening for P.O.D. on their King Of The Game Tour. Linkin Park's very first show in Pittsburgh took place at Club Laga, opening for the Union Underground on their An Education In Rebellion Tour in July 2000. The band did a photoshoot earlier that day - and one of the photos from this shoot became the back cover of Hybrid Theory! More pictures from this show came out with the Hybrid Theory 20th Anniversary release in 2020, as well. Pittsburgh has always had a place in Linkin Park history, whether you knew it or not! If you were at any of these early shows and happen to remember some details, let us know! Also of note is that this is a make-up show of sorts for Pittsburgh, as the last time the band was scheduled to play in the city was back in 2015 - in January on the ill-fated The Hunting Party North American Tour. After breaking his ankle playing basketball before the show, Chester managed to make his way through the Indianapolis set on a scooter and crutches, Pittsburgh was next up to bat. Unfortunately, both Pittsburgh and Albany were cancelled the next day so that the severity of Chester's injury could be assessed. Ultimately, Chester needed surgery immediately and the recovery following meant that the whole rest of the tour had to be cancelled. Had the show gone on, it would've been the band's first show at the venue. Redemption is finally here for Pittsburgh! Check out the full video recording of Linkin Park's first headlining show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania back on February 15, 2001 at Metropol! Pennsylvania has continued to cement its place in Linkin Park's history books with the last show of the From Zero World Tour, which took place in Philadelphia on Saturday. This was actually the very first show at the venue after changing its name - from the Wells Fargo Center to the Xfinity Mobile Arena! The band ended the pre-show playlist with Survivor's 'Eye Of The Tiger' and The Eagles' Victory Song, during which the Eagles' mascot Swoop came out onstage! The band ripped into Set A (featuring 'Castle Of Glass' in its interludes), rotating in 'Lying From You' and 'New Divide' for Act I before 'The Emptiness Machine' wrapped up the first part of the show. 'Lies Greed Misery' returned once again in the middle of Act II before 'Two Faced,' and Mike rapped verse two of 'When They Come For Me' during his solo for the first time since Tulsa, Oklahoma back in May! 'Casualty' was the heavy rotation of the night before 'One Step Closer' brought the show to its half-way point. 'Over Each Other' was featured after 'Lost' as the ballad rotation, and 'From The Inside' topped things off at the end of the main set! The Control Colin 'Numb' intro returned at this show after being absent for a couple, and the crowd choice option #1, which led to a disco-themed 'Numb/Encore' intro and an extended jam outro. Mike also paid further tribute to Philadelphia by performing 'You Got Me' by The Roots during the extended intro of 'Overflow.' 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' (with a verse of 'A Place For My Head' in the extended bridge) closed out the main set, meaning 'In The End' and 'Faint' brought the show to an epic close. The crowd was unrelenting and loud as hell, perhaps the loudest of the whole U.S. tour so far - what else would you expect from Philly? It feels like a stretch calling Pittsburgh part of the northeast per se, but the band's run in this corner of the country (and Canada) has been nothing short of massive for the band, with sold out shows and epic crowds to boot. Can Pittsburgh keep up the energy? Pittsburgh seems to be lined up for Set B - at this stage of the tour, it seems the band has settled in on each set having specific rotations (with a few surprises thrown in every so often), so let's see if we can predict what's coming based off the patterns from the previous shows. The last appearance of Set B ('Iridescent' themed interludes) was in Chicago last week, and featured the following rotations: 'Crawling,' 'Cut The Bridge,' and 'Lying From You' (in that order) in Act I, 'Lies Greed Misery' and 'Given Up' (as well as the first appearance of 'It's Goin' Down' in Mike's solo medley) in Act II, 'Good Things Go' in Act III, and 'A Place For My Head' in the encore. That's what I'm locking in for Pittsburgh, but there's always room for change: 'IGYEIH' and 'Keys To The Kingdom' lurk in the shadows for the heavy rotation in Act II, seemingly rotating themselves between performances of Set C, but are always ready to pop out at a moment's notice! The 'Lies Greed Misery' and 'Castle Of Glass' rotation is missing a third friend as well in one of the sets - perhaps bringing 'Lost In The Echo' back out could make it a true Living Things rotation spot! We'll see what happens in Pittsburgh, but we're sure whatever unfolds will be a spectacle! Linkin Park's full set at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 16, 2025! Jean Dawson will be opening the show, fresh off of his From Zero World Tour debut! His music is a blend of indie rock and hip-hop, delivering anthemic verses and soaring choruses that bring a certain kind of sunshine to the room. He opened his set in Philadelphia with 'Black Sugar,' a spiraling hip-hop track infused with 80s synthwave and verses that almost crawl out to you. Dawson runs through other tracks like 'New Age Crisis' and 'Die For Me' before wrapping things up with 'MENTHOL*.' Dawson brings a more dramatic and indie flair to the start of the night, but is definitely a great vibe to get you going! It'd be interesting to see if he comes out onstage to join the band like Lynn from PVRIS was for the first run of shows - maybe his style would suit 'Overflow' or a more mellow song like 'Where'd You Go.' If you can make it early to see him, don't miss his set! Who's going to the show? Weatherman Rogue Soul clocking back in again to report it'll be pretty hot and muggy, but an otherwise pretty nice day with temperatures reaching up to the lower 90's and only dipping down to around 69°C at night. Make sure you stay hydrated and dress light! After this show, the band continues through the center of America with shows coming up in Nashville, St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis in the coming days. 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'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)!

The time has come, Aussies! Linkin Park will be hitting the East Coast of Australia this upcoming March, with three dates in the continent: March 3, 2026 - Brisbane, QLD (Brisbane Entertainment Center) March 8, 2026 - Melbourne, VIC (Rod Laver Arena) March 14, 2026 - Sydney, NSW (Qudos Bank Arena) LPU pre-sales begin Monday, August 18, 2025. Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, August 22 at 11am AEST. Who’s planning in going?! This will be Linkin Park’s first trip down under since they performed at the Soundwave Festival in 2013 on the Living Things World Tour - it’ll have been over 13 years by the time these shows roll around! The band were also revealed to have been confirmed for Download Australia in 2018, but due to Chester’s passing they never made it back around to the continent until now.

The From Zero World Tour is making its mark on Canada, and up next is Toronto! Linkin Park returns to Ontario for the first time in eleven years with a show at the Scotiabank Arena on August 8, 2025! This will be Linkin Park's eleventh show in Ontario, but fifteenth appearance overall - while promoting One More Light in March 2017, Mike and Chester appeared on a number of radio and news shows to perform piano versions of 'Heavy,' ahead of their album release and the later cancelled show there in August 8, 2017 (exactly 8 years to the date!). Linkin Park's last proper show in Toronto was back in 2014 on The Hunting Party Tour, in August 2014 at the Air Canada Centre on the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars. The band ran through Set A here, featuring an "encore medley" consisting of 'Lost In The Echo,' 'New Divide,' 'Crawling,' a verse of 'With You,' and 'Until It's Gone.' The band performed at the same venue on the A Thousand Suns World Tour in February 2011, where 'Burning In The Skies' managed to make a rare appearance! This was the last show before a string of cancelled dates back in the United States due to Chester falling ill. The band visited Ontario a whopping three times on the Minutes To Midnight World Tour, the last of which is particularly notable in Linkin Park live history. The band headlined Edgefest 2008 in Toronto in a string of Canadian dates preceding Projekt Revolution 2008, which didn't make it up to the country. Some band members were delayed at the airport up until 8:00pm, resulting in half the band getting to the show late. Mike and Chester kicked off the show in an acoustic format, opening with piano versions of both 'Breaking The Habit' (the first and only time it was ever fully performed like this) and 'Pushing Me Away.' The rest of the band were ready to play the show at this time, and Mike led into the full band by performing a verse of 'Hands Held High' over the album transition intro into 'What I've Done.' Talk about a wild start to the show! This show also featured the final performance of 'A Place For My Head' on the Minutes To Midnight World Tour, being dropped from their Projekt Revolution sets just a few days later. The band's show in London, Ontario earlier in the year got off without a hitch, and saw the band open with 'No More Sorrow' before diving into some deeper cuts from Minutes To Midnight like 'Valentine's Day' and 'The Little Things Give You Away.' The band's stop in Toronto on Projekt Revolution 2007 was the only performance in Canada that year and the first on the cycle, bringing tracks like a full 'Hands Held High' and 'Leave Out All The Rest' to life in the country for the first time, even delivering super rare performances of 'Cure For The Itch' and 'QWERTY' in the encore! Mike even threw a verse of 'High Voltage' over the intro of 'Points Of Authority!' Toronto has really seen a lot of exciting moments unfold with Linkin Park! The DSP recording of Linkin Park performing at Edgefest 2008 in Toronto, Ontario on July 12, 2008. The only show ever to open with piano performances of 'Breaking The Habit' and 'Pushing Me Away,' this show has a close place in fans' hearts despite it seeming quite difficult for the band! Toronto got two stops on the Meteora World Tour, the latter of which took place in early 2004, on the band's North American Tour that winter. Opening with the unstoppable combo of 'With You' with its Reanimated Intro and 'Runaway,' the band burst into a huge set featuring rarities like 'It's Goin' Down,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'My December.' The band also performed 'P5hng Me Away' from Reanimation, which they also performed at their show in 2003 opening for Metallica on the Summer Sanitarium Tour. This tour, famous for being featured on the Live In Texas DVD, brought out all the band's biggest hits like 'Numb' and 'In The End,' while also finding time for other goods like 'Figure.09' and 'Don't Stay.' The band went straight to an after party after this show where fans could ask them questions - apparently about 60 minutes of this footage is available on DVD! The Hybrid Theory World Tour saw Linkin Park hit Toronto three times - the last of which was on the Family Values Tour in October 2001. 'Forgotten' was dropped at this show so that Total Eclipse and Mista Sinista from the X-Ecutioners could come out and do a short DJ jam before 'A Place For My Head,' and 'One Step Closer' featured a rare extended bridge so that Mike could get the crowd pumped up for Stone Temple Pilots after them. Toronto was the only stop in Canada on the Ozzfest earlier that year, with the band delivering another quick set consisting of energetic tracks like 'By Myself' and 'Papercut.' Linkin Park's very first show in Toronto - and Canada overall - was a free show in November 2000, titled The Edge's New Music Night. The band opened with 'A Place For My Head' and burst through tracks that would soon take over the world from Hybrid Theory, which was only a month old at the time! With such a rich history in the state of Ontario, we're sure the band's show in 2025 will continue to add to the legacy! A full recording of Linkin Park's show on the Ozzfest stop in Toronto, Ontario on July 24, 2001. Really old-school stuff and some super raw energy from Linkin Park before they really took over the globe! Linkin Park kicked off their string of Canadian dates with two nights in Montréal, and the action kept coming from the start of Night 1 to the end of Night 2! Between both nights, the band just about hit every rotation song they have in their locker: Act I of both nights had 'Crawling,' but Night 1 featured 'Lying From You' and 'Cut The Bridge' while Night 2 saw 'Points Of Authority' and 'New Divide.' Act II saw a new rotation of 'Castle Of Glass' and 'Lies Greed Misery' take full form, while Night 1 got 'Given Up' and Night 2 saw the return of 'Keys To The Kingdom' to the heavy rotation after Mike's solo medley. Mike whipped out verses of 'Until It Breaks' and 'Lift Off' from Post Traumatic during that part of the show, too! 'Good Things Go' and 'Stained' rotated in for the ballad rotations at each show respectively, while the end-of-set rotation saw the band flip between 'A Place For My Head' and 'Let You Fade' between both nights. Night 1 closed out with the regular 'Bleed It Out,' while Night 2 ended with 'Faint.' The real headline of the shows was that Emily Armstrong hit the full 'Heavy Is The Crown' scream not once, but twice at both shows! What's even better about this is that Chester hit the full scream at the very same venue (Montréal's Centre Bell) in 2008 - something must be in the air in Canada! Linkin Park performing 'Heavy Is The Crown' at the Centre Bell in Montréal, Québec on August 5, 2025 - she hit the full scream here AND on night two! The band has kept things pretty simple to start off the second leg of the North American Tour, keeping the setlists pretty much the same as they start to get performed a second time with this next round of shows (i.e., Set A, Set B, etc. are starting to be the same between shows). The exception so far was 'Keys To The Kingdom' at Montréal Night 2 instead of 'IGYEIH.' Things got pretty spicy on the European Tour earlier in the summer, and we're sure that once the band settles into the tour that they'll start playing around with things more. That being said, it seems that Toronto may be lined up for Set A with the 'Castle Of Glass' theme, which featured 'Lying From You,' 'Crawling,' 'New Divide,' 'Lies Greed Misery,' 'Casualty,' 'Over Each Other,' and 'A Place For My Head' as rotation songs. The biggest questions lie in the heavy rotation and the new 'Castle'/'Lies' spot - will 'IGYEIH' come up next, or will the band rotate back around to 'Casualty' and reset the cycle? And will 'Lies Greed Misery' come out for a second night in a row like it did in Newark, New Jersey the last time the set was played, or will 'Castle Of Glass' return? It's not too late for the band to turn this spot into a Living Things rotation, as 'Lost In The Echo' is still in their back pocket from last year and hasn't made an appearance since 2024. It could be prime time to bring this song back into the mix to give each set a unique set of tracks! And we're still waiting for 'Unshatter' to make its live debut so that we have a 100% completion on From Zero. No matter what happens, we'll have you covered on all the juicy details! PVRIS will be opening the show once again, and you don't want to miss them - they're easily the most beloved openers of the tour so far, and have already won over hordes of Linkin Park fans during their sets this tour! They've been switching their sets up on tour as well, rotating through 'HYPE ZOMBIES' and 'Oil & Water' at the recent shows in Montréal, and also whipping out the likes of 'Hallucinations' in Boston. Their set opens with high energy tracks 'GOOD ENEMY' and 'ANIMAL,' while closing out just as heavily and dramatically with 'GODDESS.' The song 'TAKE MY NIRVANA,' produced by Mike Shinoda, has also become a staple in their set. Lynn Gunn has been guesting on 'Burn It Down' with the band, and with only a few shows left with them on tour, you'll want to get in on all the PVRIS action while you still can! Don't miss their set if you can make it on time! Linkin Park performing 'Burn It Down' with Lynn Gunn of PVRIS at the Centre Bell in Montréal, Québec on August 5, 2025. Who's going to the show? Linkin Park has been taking the stage quite early for these Canadian shows, so be at the venue by 7:15pm to see PVRIS and 8:20pm to see Linkin Park. The band returns to the United States after this show with stops in Chicago (GlassCastles' hometown show!), Detroit, Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania. The band will return to Canada at the end of the leg in September on the other side of the country to perform in Vancouver before all is said and done. Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report a pretty nice day ahead for those going to the show, with a some clouds in the sky and a mostly sunny day, with temperatures only ranging between 27°C and 21°C throughout the whole day. Dress light and get ready to rock! 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 been a busy week for the LPLive staff as we covered the first few shows of the tour, but we're back home and ready to get back into action - and the band is too! Linkin Park are bringing the From Zero World Tour up to Canada for another multiple-night stand at Montréal's Centre Bell (their first for the country), and the action kicks off tonight, August 5, 2025! This will be Linkin Park's eighth show in the Canadian province of Québec, and their first sixth in Montréal. We'll split up the history lesson again for these shows, so let's start where the band left off in the area: The Hunting Party World Tour. Linkin Park headlined the Amnesia Rockfest in June 2015 in Montebello, delivering a shortened version of their festival setlist but still finding time to deliver performances of 'A Line In The Sand' and 'Wastelands' (transitioning from a shortened version of 'Runaway') to the crowd. This was the band's second visit to the province on the world tour, with a headlining show at the Park Jean-Drapeau in Montréal just the summer before on the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars, where they played even more tracks from The Hunting Party including 'Guilty All The Same,' 'Rebellion,' and 'Final Masquerade.' The band played Set B at this show, which also featured the 2014 Abridged Version of 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You' and 'Somewhere I Belong' rotating in. The band only managed to visit Central and Western Canada on the Living Things World Tour, making their first performance in the province in the 2010s their stop at Centre Bell on the A Thousand Suns World Tour - the last time they played at tonight's venue! The band performed there in February 2011, with cuts like 'Blackout' and 'Iridescent' from A Thousand Suns filling the setlist with an apocalyptic sense of drama. Older tracks like 'Shadow Of The Day' and 'No More Sorrow' were also thrown into the mix, and en epic encore complete with 'When They Come For Me,' 'Papercut,' 'New Divide,' 'Crawling,' and 'One Step Closer' closed out the show. An almost full recording of Linkin Park's headlining set at the Amnesia Rockfest in Montebello, Québec on June 20, 2015. This set featured some awesome tracks, including a very rare performance of 'A Line In The Sand.' The band's last show on the From Zero World Tour took place in my home state of New Jersey, with their first show ever at the Prudential Center in Newark! While it was sadly the last show of the LPLive run, it may just have been the most fun! With a loud crowd ready to sing the hits, the band dove into tracks like 'Crawling,' 'New Divide,' and 'Lying From You' in Act I before 'The Emptiness Machine' wrapped up the act. Act II followed as normal, with the exception of 'Lies Greed Misery' rotating in (in place of 'Castle Of Glass') for a second show just after its first performance in 11 years at Boston night two, likely to get some more practice in on the song as the tour progresses. Mike rapped 'Petrified' over his solo medley before 'Casualty' rocked the place, with 'One Step Closer' ending the first half of the show before the crew began moving the instruments onstage around during the Break/Collapse Transition. 'Over Each Other' featured as the ballad rotation, and none other than Santa himself picked a funky style for the Colin Control Intro for 'Numb.' 'From The Inside' made its second appearance on the North American leg, before 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' closed out the main set. Resolution Intro A ('Castle Of Glass' theme), 'Papercut,' 'In The End,' and 'Faint' closed out the night once again, making it the third time out of four shows this leg that 'Faint' has closed after the band brought the sequence back at the end of the European Leg during Night Two in Frankfurt, Germany. It seems like the band is loving closing with 'Faint' again (we're loving it, too), and we're likely to see it happen again at least once between the two shows in Montréal! Linkin Park's full show at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on August 3, 2025, filmed by legendary taper Jim Powers! It's anyone's best guess as to what the band will be bringing out for their first stops in Canada on the tour, but between the two nights we're bound to see some surprises! Act I has a total of five potential songs, with the three from Newark as well as 'Points Of Authority' and 'Cut The Bridge' (with the Moscow Intro) as potential tracks that could also come out. 'Lies Greed Misery' and 'Castle Of Glass' seem to be in rotation with each other now, adding some more spice to Act II before Mike's Solo and the heavy rotation - 'Casualty' at the last show leaves 'Given Up,' 'IGYEIH,' or the as-of-yet unseen 'Keys To The Kingdom' as the likeliest contenders for this spot in the next show. 'Stained' and 'Good Things Go' are also lined up for some action in the ballad rotation, while 'A Place For My Head' or 'Let You Fade' while likely appear at the end of the set in place of 'From The Inside.' All of this as well as smaller moments like the Colin Control 'Numb/Encore' intro and the Shinoda keyboard cover during the 'Overflow' intro will make ascertain that every second of these next two shows will be something special, and we're excited to see what the band will be cooking up for Canada! These shows and Boston were the only two multiple-night stands left this year, so get ready for some action. PVRIS will once again be opening the show, and I have to say it really seems like no other opening act on the tour so far has won over the crowd like they have. Opening with 'GOOD ENEMY' and 'ANIMAL,' PVRIS's set begins with a huge burst of rocking energy. Linkin Park hasn't been the only one changing their setlists, as PVRIS have delivered at least one new song every night - in Newark, 'HYPE ZOMBIES' and 'Oil & Water' got their tour debut, while other tracks like 'Hallucinations' and 'Monster' have also been seen. They added 'TAKE MY NIRVANA' to the set, the song from their latest album EVERGREEN which Mike produced! To top it all off, Lynn Gunn has started guesting onstage with the band for 'Burn It Down,' too, so the PVRIS action doesn't end when their set does! They'll be on the road with the band for a few more shows (their last stop being Detroit next week), so be sure to check out their set if you can get there in time! Linkin Park performing 'Burn It Down' with Lynn Gunn from PVRIS live at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on August 3, 2025. Who's going to the show? Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report it'll be a warm and cloudy day in Montréal, with a maximum temperature of 26°C and a low of 16°C, so dress comfortably and get ready to jam! Night Two at the Centre Bell in Montréal takes place the next day before the band heads to the capital, Toronto, for another arena show. The band heads back down to the U.S. after that with shows in Chicago (Nico aka GlassCastles' hometown show!), Detroit, and Philadelphia. Rumors are starting to fly that Linkin Park will be returning to Australia possibly as early as December 2025, so it looks like the band's touring schedule won't be dying down any time soon! We're only at the start of the longest stretch of shows the band has so far on the whole World Tour, so strap in, because we're not slowing down yet! 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.

Ladies and gentlemen, my moment has come. Linkin Park is returning to my home state of New Jersey for the first time in eleven years, performing at the venue I've seen the single most concerts at for the first time: the Prudential Center in Newark on August 3, 2025! I'm not going easy on you today. We're about to dive deep into some history today; you're about to learn some shit. The last time Linkin Park visited the Garden State was in 2014, with two stops here on the tour with my favorite lineup ever, the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars and AFI! The last show overall was at Holmdel's PNC Bank Arts Center - basically in my backyard as it's a light 15 minute drive away from me! The band rocked the amphitheater with Set A - unleashing the likes of 'Guilty All The Same' and 'Rebellion' upon Central Jersey (yes it exists). The encore "medley" saw the band bust through songs like 'Lost In The Echo' and 'Until Its Gone,' even throwing a verse of 'With You' into the mix! Camden was just before this two shows before (I refuse to let you claim it, Philly. No matter how much of a shitshow it may be), at the then-name Susquehanna Bank Center (now the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion) and much to my dismay - they also played Set A at this show. Despite me getting the same setlist twice, each show packed a punch and was a blast to be at! The band was due to play Atlantic City for the first time in 2015, but unfortunately do to Chester breaking his ankle, the show was cancelled and never rescheduled. The band once again hit Camden on their summer tour east coast special on the Honda Civic Tour with Incubus, gracing us with the massive Set B featuring the 'A Place For My Head' show opener and an epic encore featuring 'Papercut' and 'Lying From You' following 'Tinfoil' and 'Faint.' The band hosted an LPU Summit at the venue before the show, running a Q&A as well as delivering 'In My Remains' and 'The Messenger' acoustic for fans in attendance. This was my second Linkin Park show ever! Sadly for me, this is where my consciousness tuned out and I was too young to. attend any of the previous shows - but there was a lot of action in this state going on while I was still in diapers. The full livestream recording of Linkin Park's show in Camden, New Jersey's Susquehanna Bank Center on August 15, 2014. This was the band's latest show in the state! While the band didn't visit the state during the A Thousand Suns World Tour, they were getting busy here during the Minutes To Midnight World Tour with five shows! Projekt Revolution 2008 hit us with the Holmdel and Camden special once again, with both shows getting Set Z, but two different versions of it! Camden was first up with the first appearance of the set all tour, delivering songs like 'In Pieces' and 'Wake 2.0,' and even a rare 'We Made It' performance in the encore (which Mike almost entirely forgot his verse during)! A studio version of 'Pushing Me Away' also hit the crowd after a false start, not long before a freak thunderstorm also hit the venue. Luckily, there were no interruptions with the setlist as a result of it. Holmdel saw mostly the same set with some changes: the dual encore was dropped for an unknown reason along with 'Cure For The Itch,' instead opening with 'What I've Done.' This was the final performance of 'We Made It' as Busta Rhymes didn't even play his set that day and disappeared from the tour completely after this show. The band also switched around the positions of 'Faint' and 'One Step Closer,' with 'One Step Closer' now closing the main set. The 'Points Of Authority' intro actually saw basically a complete performance of 'Petrified' between the two shows, with Verse 1 being performed in Camden and Verse 2 in Holmdel. Chris Cornell also joined the band for 'Crawling' after the 'KRWLNG' intro with a verse of 'Hands Held High' at both shows! 2007 also got the summer tour special on Projekt Revolution 2007, except that the stops at the two cities came at the end of the tour, for a change! Camden started things off with a 'No More Sorrow' opener, launching straight into 'Lying From You,' 'Somewhere I Belong,' 'Wake,' and 'Given Up.' What a start! This set featured more treats like 'Hands Held High' in its entirety and 'Don't Stay,' as well as new songs from Minutes To Midnight like 'The Little Things Give You Away' and 'Shadow Of The Day.' 'QWERTY' was unfortunately dropped, but 'Don't Stay' was added in perhaps a replacement. 'Breaking The Habit' opened the encore, being performed for the very first time with its studio intro and no extended intro. Holmdel start off in similar fashion a few days later, with the same beginning run of songs but the main body of the set switched up. New Jersey was denied 'QWERTY' a second time (shame), but we got an interesting encore opening with 'The Little Things Give You Away' before 'Cure For The Itch' led into a 'One Step Closer' and 'Faint' show closing sequence. Nasty business is always occurring in Jersey! That's not all for 2007, because Linkin Park headlined the now defunct Bamboozle Festival earlier that year, marking their first performance in the United States since 2005. This show featured everything you'd expect from an early Minutes To Midnight set, opening with 'One Step Closer' with its Gunshot Intro. this show also featured the only performance of 'Runaway' on the entire cycle, and the only performance of the song until it returned in 2012! A full audience recording of Linkin Park's headlining set at Bamboozle 2007 in East Rutherford, New Jersey on May 6, 2007. This was the last performance of 'Runaway' until 2012, and the only one from 2006 onwards! Linkin Park's run in New Jersey on Projekt Revolution 2004 was nothing short of... revolutionary. First up was Holmdel, a standard show up until the end of the main set where things started getting... freaky. Jay-Z came out for the encore, ripping 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You' and 'Big Pimpin'/Papercut' during the encore! The full versions of 'Lying From You' and 'Papercut' were omitted from the set so they could play these with Jay. This was the only time he joined the band for one of their headlining shows until 2008! The second show of the run was none other than the legendary Camden 2004 show, which boasts perhaps the amongst the best known Linkin Park proshots known to the fanbase. With beautiful recordings of all the legendary moments like their cover of Nine Inch Nails' 'Wish,' the Blood, Anger, Suffering Outro Transition between 'Figure.09' and 'From The Inside,' Jonathan Davis joining the band for the Reanimated Bridge of 'One Step Closer,' and even the boy Sal sending up a guy who didn't know how to play 'Faint' on guitar! If you haven't seen this whole show, you're missing out on a piece of history! Things were a little different in 2003, with Linkin Park making an appearance in East Rutherford (the same spot as the Bamboozle Festival) at Giants Stadium (now Metlife Stadium), opening for Metallica on the famous Summer Sanitarium Tour. The setlist matched the Live In Texas DVD, and featured all the goods like 'P5hng Me A*wy,' 'Numb' fresh off its live debut, and 'One Step Closer' closing the show. The band played in the same area as their last show in the state of the Hybrid Theory World Tour, playing at the Continental Airlines Arena (later known as the IZOD Center before being shutdown completely) on the Family Values Tour, featuring setlist highlights like a rare 'Step Up' and Aaron Lewis from Staind guesting on 'One Step Closer.' The band's very first Camden & Holmdel summer special hit on the Ozzfest in 2001 (RIP Ozzy), though the shows were separated considerably. The tour ended with a two night stand at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, both opening with the 'With You' and 'Runaway' combo. Chester was apparently ordered by doctors to not play these last two shows of the festival due to a spider bite he sustained in Massachusetts a few shows prior causing him to become delusional and confused, but he played the show anyway. Maybe he thought he was about to embark on a Spiderman arc, but sadly that did not happen - though the band did end up delivering some strong shows! Camden also got two shows that tour in the middle of it, though they were inexplicably separated by about two and a half weeks. The first took place in early July 2001, a fun moment from the show being that Chester started his iconic "C'mon!" scream for 'With You' before the song even began, leading to him holding it longer than usual! Footage from this show was used in the live music video for 'Points Of Authority,' too! Their second show there took place later that July, and while we don't know the full setlist, we know the regular 'Welcome To The Jungle' by Guns 'N' Roses show intro led right into 'With You.' Finally, the band's very first show in the state took place in the town of Old Bridge (another town I live quite close to) at the defunct Birch Hill Nite Club - their last show on a quick run of headlining bar shows in the Northeast. There's been a lot of action in the state of New Jersey, and I'm now here to ascertain that keeps happening! You know what time it is. This is a full proshot recording of Linkin Park's show at the Tweeter Center at the Waterfront (present-day Freedom Mortgage Pavilion) on August 3, 2004. If you haven't seen this show before... are you really an LPLive member? The band made sure to make their first headlining 2 night stand in the States something to remember! Night 1 featured a slightly more traditional set, though the band still tossed in a couple of treats. 'Bleed It Out' (along with a verse from 'There They Go') closed the show for the first time on this leg, with fan favorites 'Cut The Bridge', 'Good Things Go', and 'A Place For My Head' rounding out some of the rotation slots. The latter returned to the encore after Brooklyn's "encore rotation" (filled by 'From The Inside') moved up to Act 4. The "Control Colin" game on 'Numb' also saw a slight evolution, with the gospel theme extending into a jam outro for the song! Night 2 is where things got a bit freakier. 'Points Of Authority' (which has become somewhat rare this year) returned to Act 1, and fellow rarities 'IGYEIH' and 'Stained' filled out the latter rotations. A special shoutout to 'Let You Fade' (which took up the encore/Act 4 rotation) feels due since a group of fans coordinated shirts to spell out the title line! Maybe it wasn't what got them to throw it in the set, but it certainly got Emily's attention! The real surprise of the night came in what is usually the 'Castle Of Glass' spot. As a treat for night 2, the band brought out 'LIES GREED MISERY' for the first time since January 2014! The band had posted a couple teasers of them at soundcheck, and some eagle eyed fans spotted the lyrics to the song on the teleprompter. It's very refreshing to see them adding in deep cuts this far into the tour! Who knows what else is on the docket?! And to top it off, Lynn Gunn from opener PVRIS joined the band on stage for the second half of 'Burn It Down'! Boston truly was given a stellar experience across both nights. 'Lies Greed Misery' live from Boston, night 2. If you couldn't tell, Nico was quite excited for this! Speaking of PVRIS, they've been absolutely killing it, and it seems like Linkin Park's attitude towards changing the set is contagious! Every night has been different so far! Boston night 1 saw 'TAKE MY NIRVANA' (produced by a somewhat familiar name in Mike Shinoda) replacing 'BURN THE WITCH', and night 2 saw the addition of Use Me's 'Hallucinations' (as well as the return of 'BURN THE WITCH'). Of course, staples like 'GOOD ENEMY' and 'My House' continue to explode on stage. If you're going to these shows, you'd be doing a disservice by missing out on PVRIS. Now what does all this mean for Newark? Who knows?! Boston covered a good chunk of the band's rotation options, so anything could be on the table. Of all the songs performed this year, 'Keys To The Kingdom' is the only one not to have been played on this leg of the tour. That could very well be on the docket for Sunday! Rotations from Brooklyn like 'Casualty' and 'Over Each Other' are also very much in the realm of possibility. Reaching a bit further, 'Unshatter' remains the only song from the From Zero era that hasn't been played live yet, and I doubt anyone would complain about more new songs joining the fray! Weatherman Rogue Soul has some good news for his fellow New Jesreyans! It's should be a nice, sunny day for the show. The heat wave is mostly behind us, so we're looking at some cooler 70s-low 80s temperature-wise, which is a welcome change from Brooklyn's sweltering heat. Speaking of Brooklyn, if you're in the area, Linkin Park is doing a pop-up at Paulie Gee's pizza shop Saturday, August 2nd (today at the time of writing) from 11:30am to 6:00pm. Make sure to grab a slice and some merch if that's of any interest to you! After Newark, the band heads to our neighbors up north for another two night stand in Montreal and a one-nighter in Toronto before coming back to the states in our resident Living Things enjoyer Nico's (aka Glass Castles) hometown of Chicago!

LPLive live reactions:

We're back in Boston for round two! Linkin Park continues the From Zero World Tour with their first ever multiple-night headlining stand in the United States in their career for their second and final night at TD Garden on August 1, 2025! In the last pre-show post we talked about Linkin Park's history in Massachusetts from the One More Light era back to the Minutes To Midnight era, so today we'll dive back even further for the first portion of the band's career. The band played four shows in the state back on the Meteora World Tour, the last of which took place on Projekt Revolution 2004 in Mansfield. This set featured many of the classic late-Meteora moments, notably the Blood, Anger, Suffering Transition Outro between 'Figure.09' and 'From The Inside,' the Hip-Hop Medley of 'Step Up,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'It's Goin' Down,' and their cover of 'Wish' by Nine Inch Nails! Earlier in the year, at the very start of the 2004 North American Tour in January, opening with 'With You' and 'Runaway' before diving into other goodies like full renditions of 'IT's Goin' Down,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and a rare 'My December' and 'P5hng Me A*wy' in the encore preceding 'A Place For My Head' and 'One Step Closer.' Absolutely nasty! The band played two shows in the state as well in 2003, the second being that summer on the legendary Summer Sanitarium tour opening for Metallica at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. This show had the same set as the Live In Texas release, featuring all the goods from that DVD like performances of 'P5hng Me A*wy' and 'Crawling' with its 'KRWLNG' intro. Earlier in the year, Linkin Park brought Meteora songs live to the United States for the very first time with a performance in Worcester in March 2001 on the LP Underground Tour. Tracks like 'Somewhere I Belong' and 'Lying From You' were fresh off the presses at this show, and with his being their first U.S. show of the whole world tour, fans heard some truly explosive tracks for the very first time, even being treated to some very rare songs like 'Hit The Floor' and 'Easier To Run.' The band performed in Massachusetts a whopping six times on the Hybrid Theory World Tour, visiting there nearly every time they did a U.S. run (and there were a lot of those back then). The band's last show on the cycle there was on the inaugural Projekt Revolution 2002, visiting Lowell. This show took place on Mike's birthday, and at one point in the show they had the crowd help them sing Happy Birthday to him! 2001 saw the band in the state four total times, the last of which was on the Family Values Tour in Worcester. While 'Forgotten' was dropped from this show and all the following shows on this tour, the set did feature some rare tracks like 'Step Up' and 'Pushing Me Away.' Aaron Lewis from Staind also came out to guest on 'One Step Closer' to close out the show! When the band performed on Ozzfest 2001 (RIP Ozzy), the tour had two stops in Mansfield that August. The first night featured a fairly standard Hybrid Theory-era set opening with 'With You' and 'Runaway' before diving into other songs like 'Points Of Authority' and 'By Myself.' Chester performed 'Walk' by Pantera with Disturbed at this show during their set, too! We don't have a setlist for the second night, but we do know from the Frat Party At The Pancake Festival DVD that Chester got bit "on the ass" by a poisonous spider at this show. Not quite the rarities we're looking for, but we'll have to take it. Earlier in the year, the band played a NEMO Music Showcase in Boston for their second show in the city, and while we don't know the exact setlist, we do know 'With You' opened and that they ran through other tracks like 'Forgotten' and 'Crawling.' The band's very first show in Boston and Massachusetts overall was in November 2000, playing WBCN's X-Mas Rave. We have very little info about many of these early shows in the state, so if you were there, let us know what you remember! A full recording of Linkin Park's show in Worcester, Massachusetts on the Family Values Tour on October 27, 2001. While the quality on this isn't so great, watching it will definitely transport you to a different time! Night One in Boston was nothing short of a spectacle. The LPLive team was live in the seats (and on Instagram, in fact) for this show, and it was the first time we'd seen the 360 setup from anywhere but the pit! The LPU Reserved section offers a great view and a great sound - and we'd definitely recommend it if you're still looking at options in the future! The band whipped out 'Crawling' and 'Lying From You' in Act I once again, but brought back 'Cut The Bridge' with the Moscow Intro, and it absolutely roared to life! 'Given Up' took the heavy rotation slot, right after Mike whipped out the demo verse (which we're pretty sure that he thinks is the real verse) of 'Lift Off' from Post Traumatic during his solo medley. 'Good Things Go' made an appearance in the ballad rotation before Mike played 'One' by Metallica over the extended intro of 'Overflow.' The gospel theme won for a second show in a row (boo) for the Colin Control intro for 'Numb,' but the band brought back the outro jam for the song and did some pretty extensive work with it. 'In The End' and 'Faint' returned to the main set, with 'Heavy Is The Crown and 'Bleed it Out' resuming their regular closing position in the encore. 'A Place For My Head' made an appearance in the encore as well (which was awesome as it was my friend who had never seen the band's one request), that rotation slot returning to the end of the set as well. 'Bleed It Out' featured 'There They Go' over the extended bridge, as well! With this being the third show under the band's belt for this run, there's just a few rotations left that we haven't seen that should pop up here. Act I is only missing the likes of 'Points Of Authority' from the list of potentials, and 'New Divide' could make a comeback for some playtime in Boston. The heavy rotation could go to either 'IGYEIH' or 'Keys To The Kingdom' if the band doesn't repeat anything yet. 'Stained' is the last ballad in the books for the Act III rotation, and 'Let You Fade' may be geared up for an encore appearance. It seems quite likely that 'In The End' and 'Faint' swap back to close the show again now that the band is getting more comfortable with that sequence. Night 2 was the original night announced, meaning this'll be the ones where some truly hardcore fans will be at - could bigger surprises be in store for us? Let us know your predictions! PVRIS will once again be opening the show, and as these are hometown shows for them, we're sure they'll have some extra fervor to deliver! Their sets have been nothing short of epic, delivering that right blend of alternative rock and electronica that fits right into the Linkin Park ethos. Opening with 'GOOD ENEMY' and 'ANIMAL,' Lynn Gunn commands our attention as the band busts out more familiar tunes like 'Dead Weight' and 'My House.' Newer cuts like 'Snakes' and 'Burn The Witch' made their way into the set as well before 'GODDESS' brings the show to a climactic end. If you can make it in time to see the show, definitely don't miss PVRIS! We're still holding out on a guest feature as well, whether its Mike coming out for a song (he produced 'TAKE MY NIRVANA' from their new record) or Lynn coming out for a Linkin Park song! Who's going to the show? Myself, Mark (Hahninator), and Nico (GlassCastles) are still in town and ready to jam for round 3 of 4 - we'll see you in the pit this time! Weatherman Rogue Soul is live on the scene (for real this time) to report that it will actually be cool today with temperatures not hitting above the mid 60's! That being said, it'll be raining all morning and be cloudy for the rest of the day. That won't stop us from having a great time, though! After this show, the band heads back to my neck of the woods with a show in my great home state of New Jersey with their first show at the Prudential Center in Newark before heading off to Canada for another multiple-night stay in Montréal and a show in Toronto. The band then heads back to the U.S. to Nico's home in Chicago, Illinois and continues through the United States from there! There will be a Linkin Pizza pop-up in Brooklyn, New York on August 2 for anyone in town, hosted at Paulie Gee's from 11:30am to 6:00pm, featuring food and exclusive merch! 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.

Some videos I took last night - if you've seen my videos before you'll be glad to know my voice gave up on me early this show lol

The longest tour leg of an already intense year on the road for Linkin Park has commenced with a bang, and they're continuing the opening run with a grand two-night stay at the esteemed TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, with Night One kicking off on July 31, 2025! This will be Linkin Park's fifth show in the city of Boston and sixteenth show in the state of Massachusetts overall - seeing as they're playing two shows in the city, we'll split the history lessons in half for these posts! This will be the band's first show in the state in eleven years, with their last show there taking place in Mansfield's Xfinity Center on the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars in August 2014 (a stop at the same venue was set to kick off the One More Light North American Tour in 2017 that ultimately never took place). The band whipped out Set B, which at the time featured 'With You,' an abridged version of 'Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You,' and 'Somewhere I Belong' as rotation songs, while also bringing some heaviness from The Hunting Party to life with 'Guilty All The Same,' 'Rebellion,' and 'Final Masquerade.' The band performed at the same venue (then called the Comcast Center) at the start of the Honda Civic Tour with Incubus in August 2012, debuting the tour's Set C, featuring 'Tinfoil' and 'Faint' opening the show, leading right into 'Papercut,' 'Given Up,' 'With You,' and 'Somewhere I Belong.' The band had worked up 'Lost In The Echo' and 'Victimized' (mashed up with 'QWERTY') for the tour, while also bringing out 'Burn It Down' and 'Lies Greed Misery' from Living Things. 'Until It Breaks' verse three featured over the famous Wall Of Noise Intro for 'Waiting For The End' for an extra touch, while a cover of the Beastie Boys' 'Sabotage' blew up the bridge of 'Bleed It Out.' The band's only other show at TD Garden took place on the A Thousand Suns North American Tour in February 2011. Boasting a number of huge tracks from the record like 'When They Come For Me' and 'Burning In The Skies,' the band brought some magic to their first arena show Boston with an epic setlist. The Minutes To Midnight World Tour saw the band hit Massachusetts twice, the latter of which was the kickoff of Projekt Revolution 2008 in Mansfield. Opening with a huge run of 'One Step Closer' with its Gunshot Intro, 'Lying From You' with its 2008 Intro, and 'Somewhere I Belong,' the band burst right into the newly modified Set X, which also featured the live debut of 'We Made It' with Busta Rhymes, Spliff Star, and Adam Monroe as the first encore. This would be one of only a few performances of the song, as Busta Rhymes would drop off of the tour only a few shows into the tour! Other treats in the set included 'The Little Things Give You Away,' 'Wake 2.0,' and 'Crawling' featuring Chris Cornell as well as the 'KRWLNG' intro with a verse of 'Hands Held High.' Their stop in Mansfield came near the end of Projekt Revolution 2007, but the band was just as energized as ever with a huge setlist featuring rare tracks from Minutes To Midnight like 'In Pieces.' Brad played a different guitar solo to 'Shadow Of The Day' at this show, and Mike brought out a verse of 'Nobody's Listening' for the intro of 'Points Of Authority.' Chester spoke about New Orleans, and mentioned other states that were then being affected by a number of tropical storms before 'The Little Things Give You Away,' dedicating the song to "those people who are needing someone right now." Linkin Park's full show at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on February 1, 2011! The A Thousand Suns Tour stage setup was really unique and really set the mood for the epic show. The tour kickoff show in Brooklyn, New York started things off with flying colors, and definitely set the tone for the upcoming shows! Opening with a familiar Inception Intro A (with the 'Castle Of Glass' theme) into 'Somewhere I Belong,' the band launched into Act I with the likes of 'Crawling,' 'Lying From You,' and 'New Divide' before 'The Emptiness Machine' wrapped things up. Act II remained largely unchanged, with 'Up From The Bottom' returning to its regular spot after being moved up in the set at the end of the European leg in Saint Denis, France. Mike went into the crowd for his solo medley, and gave his signed hat to our friend Janhvi (LP India) at the front of the barricade before whipping out 'Until It Breaks' verse 3 for the nightly random verse. 'Casualty' made it into the heavy rotation spot before 'One Step Closer' closed out the first half of the show. As the band is returning to their 360 stage setup with this tour, the crew flipped the instruments onstage around to face the other side of the crowd during the Break/Collapse Transition, before the half piano-half full band 'Lost' started off the next half of the show. Mike performed the Godfather Theme during the intro of 'Overflow,' and actually finally gave the number game before 'Numb' a name - the "Control Colin" 'Numb/Encore' intro, and featured a new genre with Colin playing gospel drums. The encore rotation spot seems to have been moved back into the end of the main set again, and it can now include 'From The Inside' as the song was performed in place of 'A Place For My Head' and 'Let You Fade.' The whole end of Act IV was flipped around as 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' were moved up to close out the main set instead of the encore, and Mike surprised us all in the crowd by rapping a verse of The Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Notorious Thugs' over the extended bridge for the first time ever! With 'Bleed It Out' closing the main set, 'Faint' returned as the show closer, closing a show in the United States for the first time since Relief Live! 2015! As far as full shows go, this was the first U.S. show to close with 'Faint' since Kansas City, Missouri in January 2011 on the A Thousand Suns World Tour! While the rotations weren't necessarily the most surprising in Brooklyn, lots of special moments and an energetic performance from the band made it the perfect show to kickoff the new leg of the tour! Things will definitely start to get very interesting with these upcoming Boston shows, as the band's two-night stays are where things usually get quite interesting. Despite being the first show, this show was actually the second date added after the first night sold out. With the first set of rotations out of the way, there are still a large handful of songs that could make an appearance over the next few nights. 'Points Of Authority' could come into play in Act I, while the heavy position in Act III could go to any of 'Given Up,' 'Keys To The Kingdom,' or 'IGYEIH!' 'Good Things Go' and 'Stained' are also lined up for some action as far as the rotating ballads go, and we're still eagerly waiting to see 'A Place For My Head' and 'Let You Fade' have their first moments of this new leg of the North American tour. With their last two-show stay in Frankfurt earlier this month, the band also started making some more structural changes like moving songs around in the Acts and even adding an extra rotation spot for 'Over Each Other' and 'Stained' into Act II. Today (July 30) is the 23rd anniversary of Reanimation as well, so maybe we'll see Mike whip out a special verse from the album for his solo medley! He's celebrated other anniversaries this year this way, bringing out verses of 'Lies Greed Misery' and 'Until It Breaks' for the Living Things celebration and 'Lift Off' and 'I.O.U.' for the Post Traumatic anniversary. The band will definitely make some interesting setlist choices for these two shows in Boston, and we'll be in the crowd ready to take it all in! And there's always room for a huge surprise in terms of whipping out a song we haven't heard yet - lots of online requests for 'Blackout' and 'With You' this year, and we're still waiting on a live debut of 'Unshatter' to round out the full live From Zero discography! What do you think the band will whip out for Boston Night One? Linkin Park performing 'Overflow' live at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on July 29, 2025! 'Overflow' and a number of other tracks like 'From The Inside' and 'Over Each Other' were performed with 360 production for the first time at this show! PVRIS is opening the first series of dates on the tour, and their first set of the tour really set the tone for the night! Opening with new tracks 'GOOD ENEMY' and 'ANIMAL,' the vigorous energy of Lynn Gunn immediately took centerstage as they got off to a rocking start. The band then blasted into some older hits like 'Dead Weight' and 'My House,' also throwing in some more new music like 'Burn The Witch' and 'GODDESS' to close their set. PVRIS may just be one of the best (or perhaps most fitting) openers yet on this tour, and their set is nothing short of grand even if it's just an opening set. You won't want to miss their performance in Boston as well, as these will be hometown shows for the band! We're still hoping that Lynn makes a guest appearance during Linkin Park's set, or perhaps they can add 'TAKE MY NIRVANA' to the set and get Mike to guest with them instead! That's be a huge surprise, for sure. Don't miss their show if you can make it! PVRIS performing their song 'GOOD ENEMY' to open their set opening for Linkin Park at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on July 29, 2025. Who's going to the show? The LPLive staff team of myself, Hahninator (Mark), and GlassCastles (Nico) will be making our way up from my house to the great state of Massachusetts - we'll actually be in the seats for this one (along with one of my best friends who's never seen the band), so if you see us or are near the LPU Reserved section, say hi! Weatherman Rogue Soul is live on the scene on the East Coast once again, reporting that while today will be just as disgustingly hot and humid as the last few days, a bit of relief is on the way! It'll be a mostly rainy day in Boston, but the temperatures will drop a bit down to the lower 70s during the day and get cooler from there on. Night Two at TD Garden takes place the night after on August 1 before the band heads back down to my home state of New Jersey with their first show ever at the Prudential Center in Newark on August 3. From there, the band will head up to Canada for two nights in Montréal and one show in Toronto. We've got a long tour ahead of us, and we're sure a lot of surprises are in store for us! We'll see you there! 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)!

LPLive has assembled at my house. In the morning, it's officially show day 😈

I am officially at the “I feel so old” age too now LOL but yep! I pretty much spent my entire life with this band, some of my earliest memories are of being in the back of my aunt’s car while she was playing Meteora and Hybrid Theory when I was like, 3 (2003)

Super excited to finally live the real LPLive staff experience of seeing the first batch of shows on the summer tour. Last time the chance came up (Carnivores Tour) I was 14… that was when I became staff, so I could do the pre-show posts while the guys traveled. Crazy how long and its been and how far we’ve all come. Hope to see you guys at the shows, too! Nick and Mark will be crashing at my place this week too, so we’ll be jamming all week long. Gonna be an unforgettable week!

It's been a busy year so far in 2025 for us, but LPLive and Linkin Park are about to get even busier! After a few weeks off, Linkin Park's From Zero World Tour returns to North America for their second leg across the continent this year, and it's kicking off where it all began for the East Coast back in September 2024: the esteemed Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on July 29, 2025! As it's been less than 12 months since the last pre-show post for Brooklyn, we'll keep it light on the history. What we can discuss in detail is the band's last show at the venue back on September 16, 2024. The third show of the entire From Zero World Tour and the second full show of the band's comeback, the 28 song setlist (performed in the round on the 360 stage) was full of surprises and otherwise cathartic moments. Opening with the debut of 'Inception Intro C' featuring 'Burn It Down' vocals into a massive 'Somewhere I Belong,' Linkin Park ensured their first sets back were as dramatic as they were epic. Act I featured a slew of classics that are now rotation songs in 2025, including all three of 'Crawling,' 'Lying From You,' and 'Points Of Authority' before 'New Divide' (with its returning Moscow Intro) and 'The Emptiness Machine' capped it off. Act II was a little less robust than it is currently, with tracks like 'Waiting For The End' (with its older 2024 Intro, used a couple times this year when the song has been played without 'Where'd You Go' preceding it), 'Castle Of Glass,' and 'Burn It Down' bringing energy and emotion to the crowd. Mike's Solo added more of a hip-hop flair to the set with 'When They Come For Me' and 'Remember The Name' (at the time, the extra verse section hadn't been added in yet). The biggest surprise of the night came in the form of the tour debut of 'A Place For My Head' - the return of the LPLive national anthem! Hahninator and myself were both in the crowd to witness the spectacle, and to say that song changed the course of the crowd may be an understatement. Moshpits erupted everywhere as the band continued tow hip out heavy tracks like 'Given Up' and 'One Step Closer' before the long Break/Collapse Transition for the crew to switch around the positions of the instruments onstage. Mike and Emily returned to the stage to perform 'Lost' in its shortened piano form (the half piano/half full version they play in 2025 debuted in Mexico City at the start of the year), transitioning right into 'Breaking The Habit,' which has since been dropped from the setlist entirely. A number of songs the band played in Act III and Act IV were dropped from the set in 2025, in favor of putting in more new songs from From Zero. The list includes 'Leave Out All The Rest' (the One More Light Tour version), the new acoustic arrangement of 'My December,' and 'Friendly Fire' from Papercuts. The main set ended in familiar fashion with 'Numb' and its 'Numb/Encore' intro (without the number game, which hadn't been construed yet), 'In The End,' and 'Faint.' The three-song encore hit just as hard, with Resolution Intro C leading right into 'Papercut,' followed by the second performance ever of 'Keys To The Kingdom' - a rare rotation song in 2025! The night capped off with 'Bleed It Out,' complete with a verse of 'There They Go' over the extended bridge. The band's first show at the Barclays Center was an incredible time, and certainly beat the hell out of me in the pit! Interestingly, this would've been the band's second show there had the 2015 North American Tour on The Hunting Party World Tour not been cancelled by Chester's broken ankle. The true second show is here, and with all of the changes the band has made to the set, including rotations and new music from From Zero, we're sure this'll be another night to remember! The LPLive live reaction to the return of 'A Place For My Head' at the Barclays Center in New York, New York on September 16, 2024. This was the moment the crowd was truly unleashed - and you can see how Mark and I reacted to it first hand! With the band having nearly 40 performances overall in the state of New York and 24 in New York City alone, we'll just take a look back at some highlights the band has had in the city; prior to the From Zero Tour, the band's last performance in the city itself was an interesting one: an acoustic show for Good Morning America in the subway at Grand Central Station! I was lucky enough to be there to see the band run through acoustic renditions of 'Burn It Down,' 'Heavy,' and 'What I've Done,' amongst others. This was the only proper acoustic set the band had ever done in front of the crowd, and was my first time meeting Chester (and the last time I actually ever saw him). If you rewatch the broadcast, you'll see my dad at the front of the crowd with his camera! The last proper show the band played in the city was at Madison Square Garden in February 2011 on the A Thousand Suns World Tour. This show is legendary amongst fans for the proshot recording released by FUSE TV and the epic setlist the band played, specifically changing things up for the night, including tracks like 'Blackout' and 'When They Come For Me' as an encore opener from the new album, as well as including plenty of fan favorites like 'No More Sorrow,' 'From The Inside,' and 'Lying From You' in the mix. While most remember this show for the epic setlist, this one holds a particularly special place in my heart - this show was the first concert I ever went to! While it set me off on a path I'd never financially recover from, it certainly made its mark on my little 11-year old self, because here I am! Just a few months earlier, the band played the first full show of the A Thousand Suns Tour at New York City's Best Buy Theater, featuring the live debuts of 'Wretches and Kings' and the album's interludes, as well as being the first time 'New Divide' opened a show and the first time 'What I've Done' closed one. The band's first show at Madison Square Garden was on the Minutes To Midnight Tour, where they brought out Jay-Z for the final full performances to date of Collision Course songs like 'Jigga What/Faint' and 'Numb/Encore.' A private show at the Apple Store in Soho the night before was released as a Live EP on iTunes, featuring rare tracks like 'My December' and 'In Pieces.' The band's first headlining United States show of the whole Minutes To Midnight World Tour took place at Webster Hall, another well-known show for its proshot being shown in theaters and online on the eve of the release of the album. The show featured fresh performances of 'No More Sorrow' and 'Given Up' which had just been debuted live just a few shows before in Europe, while 'Bleed It Out' made its live debut so the band could rehearse it before performing it on Saturday Night Live the next day. On the Hybrid Theory and Meteora World Tours, the band frequented the Roseland Ballroom and even the Hammerstein Ballroom in the city, with a number of great recordings from these shows available online! Linkin Park's full performance at Webster Hall in New York City, New York on May 11, 2007. This performance was shown in theaters and broadcast online just three days later, and even features a proshot of the live debut of 'Bleed It Out!' It's been a few weeks since our last show, but the band left things off in Europe with a load of interesting changes that will have us watching eagle-eyed on the setlists for these upcoming shows. The band wrapped up their From Zero European Tour with a final massive stadium show in Saint Denis, France at the Stade de France. Surprises kicked off immediately at this show as 'Crawling' and 'Lying From You' rotated into Act I, with 'Up From The Bottom' being moved up in between them - the first time the song's position in the set changed! Its spot in Act II was replaced by a rogue performance of 'Stained,' the first time the song was not featured as a rotation song in the "ballad" spot later in the set. Moshpits erupted for 'Two Faced' before Joe's Solo and Mike's Solo were performed, with Mike rapping his demo verse of 'Lift Off' over the extended portion of the medley. 'Casualty' appeared in the heavy rotation before 'One Step Closer' wrapped things up. 'Over Each Other' appeared in the ballad rotation, before Act IV saw 'Overflow' with an extended 'The Next Episode' by Dr. Dre intro explode to life. The band had a lot of fun and silly moments at this show, but perhaps the coolest came after 'Overflow' when Emily jokingly started singing the intro of 'Immigrant Song' by Led Zeppelin. The joke continued until the whole band ended up playing the intro and part of the first verse of the song in a proper jam! Following this came 'Numb' with a half-time 'Numb/Encore' intro before, somehow, 'Overflow' accidentally started again instead of 'In The End,' the main set ending with 'Faint' after all these little moments. The encore rotation spot returned to... the encore, with 'A Place For My Head' taking the spot over 'Let You Fade.' 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' wrapped the night up, the latter featuring 'There They Go' over the extended bridge. With all these changes made between the sets in France and two nights in Frankfurt, it's really anyone's guess as to what the band will be doing with the set for the next run of dates! Now that the band is returning to markets they've already played (London, Paris, New York), it seems they are starting to make more dynamic and structural changes to the set, such as moving around songs to different acts and experimenting with where to play other tracks. It must be noted that after performing with the classic end stage setup all year, Linkin Park will be returning to the 360 stage setup for this North American run, and the band has been in rehearsals this past week, likely making sure all the new editions to the set since moving stages are functioning properly. There is always opportunity for them to spend this time working up a new song or two for the setlist as well during this time - band members themselves have mentioned tracks like 'Blackout,' 'Lies Greed Misery,' and 'Runaway' as tracks they'd like to play live eventually, while only one song from the full From Zero album has yet to be performed: 'Unshatter.' There are a score of other tracks we'd love to see this lineup try out live including 'With You' and 'No More Sorrow,' and there's also a good handful of songs the band hasn't touched since 2024. Anything is possible, and we always say it's best to let the band cook - so whatever they serve us for the tour kickoff, we're ready to eat. What are your predictions for the upcoming setlists in the US and Canada? Linkin Park having some fun at the Stade de France in Saint Denis, France by jamming 'Immigrant Song' by Led Zeppelin before performing 'Numb' on July 11, 2025! With a new tour leg comes a new opener, and this time around I think a lot of us will be very familiar with them! Opening the first run of dates in the United States and Canada with Linkin Park will be none other than PVRIS - an alternative rock/pop outfit that has been on the scene for quite some time. Their first record White Noise and their follow up All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell made huge waves across the electronic rock circles back when they came out, and Lynn Gunn continues to push the project in new directions as she's taken head of production, mixing her rock roots with more crystalline and modern dark pop energy. I've had the pleasure of seeing PVRIS twice before, and can attest that their show will bring great vibes and just the right energy to get us ready for Linkin Park! Older songs like 'My House' and 'St. Patrick' may just be shoe-in's for their opening set, while newer tracks like 'ANIMALS,' 'Monster,' and 'Dead Weight' could bring more of that energy while still bringing in PVRIS's fresher vibe to the table. Mike also produced the song 'TAKE MY NIRVANA' from their latest record EVERGREEN, so it'd a nice inclusion into the set as well. It would be awesome to see Lynn guest onstage with Linkin Park at some point on the tour - personally I think she'd sound great on 'Burn It Down!' If you can make it to the venue in time, definitely don't miss out on PVRIS! PVRIS performing 'My House' live at the Citizens House Of Blues in Boston, Massachusetts for a hometown show on June 21, 2024. PVRIS always packs a punch live, and we're sure that their opening set for Linkin Park will be just as electric! Great to see more female-fronted bands join the fray of the From Zero World Tour! Who's going to the show? In classic LPLive fashion, we'll be heading out on the road for the first four shows of the tour as they run up and down my neck of the woods. This'll be my first time hitting the road on tour like this with the boys (last time they toured like this around here, I was 14!), so I'm more excited than ever to jam with the boys and see some of you guys at the shows! Myself, Mark (Hahninator), and Nico (GlassCastles) will be in the pit in Brooklyn, so if you see any of us be sure to say hi! Weatherman Rogue Soul is here and actually reporting to you live from the scene as I am out in the field (aka central New Jersey)! There's nothing to report beyond what anyone living on the eastern United States already understands: it is more humid than I have perhaps ever experienced up here these past few weeks, and it seems unlikely to change any time soon. It's gonna be another hot and sticky Tuesday afternoon and evening, with temperatures likely hitting the lower 80's before noon even hits. Dress light and stay hydrated, because it's going to be a hot one! There will be a Linkin Pizza pop-up on the Saturday after the show (one day before the show in Newark, NJ) at Brooklyn's Paulie Gee's from 11:30am to 6:00pm, featuring food and exclusive merch! After this show, the band heads up to Boston, Massachusetts for a two-night stay at TD Garden before heading back down to New Jersey for their first show ever at the Prudential Center in Newark. We'll see you there! 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)!

We have once again reached the end of the road my friends, but the action has not let up! Linkin Park will be wrapping up their From Zero European Tour with one more massive stadium show at the largest stadium in the country: the 80,000 capacity Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France on July 11, 2025! It wasn't long ago at all since Linkin Park last played in the Paris area - months, in fact! Linkin Park's most recent show in the city was in November 2024 at the Paris La Défense Arena, kicking off the second "leg" of dates in 2024 following the launch of the From Zero era. At the time, we had only been privy to three songs from the record: lead single 'The Emptiness Machine,' League Of Legends anthem 'Heavy Is The Crown,' and the newly release, the first Emily-led track of the new era, 'Over Each Other,' which got its live debut at this show! The massive 28 song setlist featured many songs that didn't make it into 2025 in favor of playing new songs from the new record, including 'Lost In The Echo,' 'My December,' 'Leave Out All The Rest,' 'Breaking The Habit,' and 'Friendly Fire.' It's cool to look back at the 2024 setlists - these shows didn't happen too long ago, but it feels like so much has changed and happened since then as far as Linkin Park's live performances go that it feels like a lifetime ago that we were covering this show! The band's last show in France overall was actually just a few weeks ago, when they headlined Hellfest in Clisson for the second time ever, with a powerful set that rocked the infamous crowd with much more success this go around, with the likes of 'Lying From You,' 'From The Inside,' 'Two Faced,' and the European tour debut of 'A Place For My Head' in the encore bringing a metal fervor into the set. As it was relatively recently that we covered the entire history of Linkin Park in Paris, I won't go in too deep with the details (and with 13 overall appearances in the city alone now, there's a lot of details), but we can cover the highlights. The band's first show ever in Europe took place in Europe in January 2001, a small promo show for Rock Sound Magazine at which less than 100 people were in attendance for. The band rocked Paris early on the Minutes To Midnight World Tour, headlining a show at Bercy in May 2007, opening with 'One Step Closer' and ripping the brand new (now essential) outro to 'Faint' to close the show. The band's most legendary moment in Paris has to be - you guessed it - when they whipped out 'A Place For My Head' unrehearsed for the 10th anniversary of Hybrid Theory in 2010 on the A Thousand Suns European Tour, sending both the crowd and the online fanbase into a frenzy! With this being their biggest show in the country by far, we're sure the highlight reel will only grow longer with this show! If you want a full rundown of the band's history in Paris, check out our pre-show post from the 2024 show in Nanterre! Linkin Park performing 'A Place For My Head' impromptu at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris, France on October 25, 2010 for the 10th anniversary of Hybrid Theory. This was the only full performance of the song on the whole album cycle, and a performance of the song no fan can ever forget. Linkin Park's latest shows were nothing short of a journey. The band headlined two sold-out nights at the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany, and each night brought a set of surprises! Night One saw the band abandon all sense of reason with the Act I rotations, whipping out three of the tracks being rotated in that spot: 'Cut The Bridge' (which, at this point, is now locked into the setlist permanently) performed once again with the short Moscow Intro, 'Lying From You,' and 'Points Of Authority.' During his solo medley, Mike whipped out 'Until It Breaks' verse three - if you've been around for awhile, you'll remember this one from the old Apaches Intro to 'Waiting For The End!' Following this, 'Keys To The Kingdom' made its first appearance since Grand Rapids, Michigan in May in the heavy rotation spot! The action in Act II didn't stop there, as 'One Step Closer' wrapped things up with Sam Carter from Architects coming out to perform the song with the band! The song became an epic scream-off between Emily and Sam, and with two screamers on deck, the parts Mike usually shouts live were screamed like on the studio version by Sam! 'Stained' took the ballad rotation spot at this show, racking up its fifth performance ever since its debut in Baltimore, Maryland in May. 'Let You Fade' was performed after 'Numb,' with the rotation spot previously held in the encore moving down to the end of the main set. The number game saw 'Numb' performed with a half-time intro and outro as the band continued the trend of continuing the game at the end of the song. Speaking of intros, the extended intro to 'Overflow' saw something especially cool on Night One in Frankfurt, with Mike performing the synth melody of his song 'Nothing Makes Sense Anymore' from Post Traumatic over it, the first time the song has appeared live in any format! Night Two was just as eventful, and hit us with perhaps the biggest surprise yet of the whole tour! Act I got flipped up more, 'Lying From You' staying in but 'New Divide' (reclaiming the Moscow Intro) and 'Crawling' subbing in. In a surprise move, 'Castle Of Glass' was rotated out for 'Over Each Other,' and with 'Good Things Go' featuring later in the set, that brought two of the songs normally played in that one slot into the set! Mike continued to treat fans during his solo medley, continuing the love for The Hunting Party started with the tour debut of 'Keys To The Kingdom' the previous night with the debut of verse one of 'Wastelands' over his medley, the first appearance of the song in any form since 2017! 'IGYEIH' made another massive appearance directly after, and Sam Carter came out once again to rock 'One Step Closer.' 'A Place For My Head' rotated in in place of 'Let You Fade,' and then things got really interesting. The band switched around the end of the show and the end of the main set, with 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' (with a verse of 'Reading My Eyes' over the extended bridge) closing out the main set. The encore featured 'Papercut,' 'In The End,' and a classic closer of 'Faint' with its extended outro. Aside from 'Papercut,' this was the first time all of those songs featured in these respective positions all tour, and the return of 'Faint' as the show closer was a huge hit amongst fans. Linkin Park closing out their second sold-out show with 'Faint' at the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt am Main, Germany on July 9, 2025. This was the first time since 2017 that the song closed out a show - which do you prefer as a show closer, 'Bleed It Out' or 'Faint?' Or perhaps we even take it way back and throw in 'One Step Closer' into that mix too! With two nights in Frankfurt and perhaps their most successful European tour ever behind them, what will they whip out to wrap it all up? The band managed to run through an impressive amount of different rotation songs between the two Frankfurt shows, only missing a couple of the heavier songs: 'Casualty,' 'Given Up,' and 'From The Inside.' And to be fair, all those songs had been played in Germany at prior shows on the tour as well. If we've learned anything on this tour, it's that the setlists are truly unpredictable at this point, so it's hard to say what'll be chosen for the final show of the tour. 'A Place For My Head' historically has gone down well in this city, but 'Let You Fade' has yet to be heard by France overall. Mike's solo medley has been a source of a lot of rare material too - would be cool to see him wrap the tour up with a verse from 'High Voltage' or even 'Hands Held High,' but whatever he decides to rap will be nasty no matter what! The last time the band wrapped up a tour leg they debuted 'Let You Fade' during the encore, so who's to say that 'Unshatter' won't finally make its live debut here? Let's hear your predictions below! The band has two opening acts for this show: JPEGMAFIA, who has played a few shows with them already, and ONE OK ROCK, who are making a one-off appearance with the band for the tour! JPEGMAFIA will bring his abrasive hip-hop fervor to the stage with tracks like 'SIN MIEDO' and 'I scream this in the mirror before I interact with anyone' while also bringing a more chaotic, fun energy with tracks like 'SCARING THE HOES' and 'Lean Beef Patty.' JPEG opened for the two shows in Frankfurt and at I-Days in Milan, and will rejoin the band again in the United States for their west coast shows. Japanese rock band ONE OK ROCK will also be supporting Linkin Park as well for the first time ever and the only time on the whole world tour, despite having quite a history with the band. Many of you will remember lead singer Taka from the Chester Bennington Tribute Show in 2017, where he performed 'Somewhere I Belong' with the band. ONE OK ROCK were slated to open for Linkin Park that summer on the One More Light North American Tour, but as that never got to happen, this'll finally be their moment to perform with Linkin Park! With tracks like my personal favorite 'Save Yourself,' as well as others like 'Make It Out Alive' and 'The Beginning' currently in their 2025 set rotation, they'll definitely make this performance count. ONE OK ROCK performing their song 'Save Yourself' live at the Kaohsiung National Stadium in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan on September 21, 2024. This is a band who has been looking forward to this night for a long time - and you should be too if you're going to see them open for Linkin Park in Paris! Who's going to the show? I've had a few days off back Weatherman Rogue Soul is back and happy to report that the tour will be wrapping up with a beautiful day with sunny skies and some hot temperatures! Things will heat up to 29°C during the day on Friday, so be sure to stay cool and hydrated before the show if you're out and about! This leg of the tour may be ending, but it won't be long before Linkin Park are back on the road - they'll be embarking on the longest leg of the tour yet (and the longest leg of any tour they've done since 2014) with a second run of North American shows kicking off in Brooklyn on July 29 before continuing with two nights in Boston and another in Newark. I will see you at all four of these if you're going, and I'll be jamming with Hahninator (Mark) and GlassCastles (Nico) at them too, so get ready for another wild ride and get recharged over the next few weeks as both us and the band gear up for this next part of the tour. Linkin Park will return to Europe in Summer 2026, with headlining shows across the continent (including a stop in Lyon, France) and a number of festival shows including Rock am Ring 2026 and Rock im Park 2026. We've been updating our Linkinpedia show pages over the last few weeks leading up to the tour with new features like more statistics, highlighting rotation songs, a banner at the top of the guide, and lots more, so be sure to head over there and explore what we've been up to! 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! And if you haven't noticed, we've made some upgrades to our LPLive and Linkinpedia servers so both sites should be running a lot more smoothly now! 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)!

We're in the final stretch of the From Zero European Tour, but the fun is not stopping! Linkin Park are back to the festival stage for a final run of festival shows starting with Rock Werchter in Werchter, Belgium on July 3, 2025! This will be Linkin Park's third time performing at the festival, the last time being in 2017 near the end of the One More Light European Tour. The band emerged dramatically to the sound of the legendary 'Fallout' and 'Roads Untraveled' mashup that flowed right into 'Talking To Myself,' opening the show with an electrifying energy. The One More Light Tour setlists flew between eras quickly, highlighting the roads the band has traveled throughout their career, churning through cuts early in the set like 'Burn It Down,' 'The Catalyst,' 'Wastelands,' and 'One Step Closer.' The band dug deeper in some areas of the set, with Mike whipping out 'A Place For My Head' verse one for the new ending of the Experience Version of 'Castle Of Glass' and 'Somewhere I Belong' being rotated in, despite the band playing a festival set. New tracks from One More Light also stated their case as 'Invisible,' 'One More Light,' and 'Heavy' brought a lighter tenderness to the band's hectic setlist. Chester sang the piano version of 'Crawling' from the crowd, with a fan whose friend said that she wanted to sing with him! To top it all off at the end of the show, 'Faint' closed the show rather than 'Bleed It Out' for one of the few times that year. The band's first performance ever at Rock Werchter goes all the way back to 2011, the band headlining the festival during the A Thousand Suns European Tour that summer. The festival setlists this summer were nothing short of thrilling, with this show opening with an unbeatable run of 'The Requiem,' 'The Radiance,' 'Papercut,' 'Lying From You,' and 'Given Up.' With soon-to-be A Thousand Suns classics like 'When They Come For Me' and 'Waiting For The End' also finding their place within the set, the set gave fans a taste of both the old and new with style. Even if relatively safe on paper, the band made some cool choices with the set like playing 'What I've Done' earlier on after 'Given Up' and 'Numb' with the Oppenheimer Outro transitioning into 'Breaking The Habit.' The summer 2011 sets really packed a punch with every show! Interestingly enough, the only other show the band ever played in Belgium up until that point was in 2001, opening for the band that's playing before them on the mainstage: the legendary Deftones! Linkin Park opened for the Back To School Tour in the spring of 2001, the band's first proper European Tour taking them to the city of Deinze. Linkin Park and Deftones have been intertwined for years, Chino being a good friend of the band (appearing on the Mike Shinoda track 'Lift Off') and Linkin Park themselves covering 'My Own Summer (Shove It)' in 2002. Could it be primetime for a collaboration onstage with Linkin Park? Emily Armstrong onstage with Deftones for 'Passenger?' We'll get more into that later... Linkin Park also performed at a different Belgian festival in 2015 - Pukkelpop at the end of The Hunting Party World Tour, bringing rare tracks like 'A Line In The Sand' and 'Rebellion' to the crowds of Belgium. This show brings the band's total amount of shows in Belgium up to five! Linkin Park's full show at Rock Werchter 2017 in Werchter, Belgium on July 1, 2017. A big show with an equally epic setlist, this is definitely a great listen to prep you for tonight's show! The band's last show took place in Düsseldorf, Germany with the first headline show since the band's groundbreaking show at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The band returned to Germany with pretty much the same setlist as the last show there (Berlin, a similarly groundbreaking show at the Olympiastadion) but just as much fervor, ripping through rotations like 'Cut The Bridge,' 'Given Up,' and 'Good Things Go.' 'Let You Fade' featured in the encore for the first time in a few nights, being rotated with 'A Place For My Head' between shows. The number game on 'Numb' was even the same, with the punk rock style being chosen, but this time the band jammed with the style more during the outro, leading to a pretty awesome ending to the song! Other treats including Mike rapping a verse of 'Petrified' over his solo medley (commemorating the Fort Minor show he played there the last time Linkin Park was in town) and him performing 'The Next Episode' by Dr. Dre over the 'Overflow' intro for the second time ever. It was also funny to note that Mike seemed to not be as prepared as he was for previous shows, forgetting to write a little speech in German (he started talking about schnitzel and beer before going into the crowd and asking for a translator), initially forgetting which verse to do for his solo medley, and even thanking the wrong opening band (he accidentally had the crowd cheer for Spiritbox)! Pretty funny, especially since I also forget just about as much at work on a daily basis too. We all have our off days, but these little moments didn't make the performance any less amazing - the band killed it as usual, and have really hit a flying streak coming into the end of this tour! What can we expect to see for this festival set? The band will be hitting the stage let, with a 90 minute set starting at 11:30pm. Every festival set has been unique in its own right, and each set has come with its share of surprises like the headlining shows. The band plays around with the festival set even more than the headlining set, moving songs up and down in position and rotating things in and out - anything's possible here in Werchter! 'From The Inside' or the festival debut of 'IGYEIH' would be epic moments to see, and other possibilities like 'A Place For My Head' or 'Casualty' would also be a treat! It's looking quite possible that this show will be livestreamed by the festival - but at the time of posting, it's not confirmed. Keep your eyes peeled on the https://live.rockwerchter.be/nl/ page tomorrow, and we'll keep you updated on whether or not it looks like the band's set will be streamed live! Linkin Park performing 'Numb' with a punk rock 'Numb/Encore' intro and punk jam outro at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany on July 1, 2025. The band's been continuing the number game style into the outro of the song lately, and it's been leading to some awesome moments like this! The festival has a whole slew of awesome artists performing: on the MainStage alone before Linkin Park will be Deftones, Fontaines D.C., and De La Soul, while other stages will boast the likes of Coheed & Cambria, Iggy Pop, and London Grammar, just to name a few. Though the band hasn't had too many onstage collaborations this cycle (the only two really being Page Hamilton for a one-off 'All For Nothing' in Arlington last year and grandson on 'One Step Closer' throughout this year), the air is rife with possibility at Rock Werchter. Like we mentioned before, a Deftones live collab has been in the books for decades now. Though they aren't playing the song this summer, it's not out of the question that they could bring in 'Passenger' and perform it with Emily. Earlier this year, Hayley Williams from Paramore joined them onstage for 'Minerva,' which is another possibility. Chino coming out for a song would be shocking and epic too - he'd pull of some awesome screams on perhaps 'Crawling' or 'One Step Closer' for sure! We'd love to see the band do some more with other artists at these shows, but we're ready to rock out to both bands no matter what the night holds! Deftones performing 'Minerva' with Hayley Williams at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee on March 26, 2025. Could we see Emily come out during their set for some of the same action? Who's going to the show? Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting a cool day ahead but with pretty clear skies accompanying the moderate temperatures, so look forward to a nice day out with a high of 22°C and a low of 11°C! After this show, Linkin Park plays one final festival of this European run at Poland's Open'er Festival before topping off the tour with two nights in Frankfurt, Germany and a final massive show in Saint-Denis, France. The band takes a few weeks off before kicking things back up for a huge second round of United States shows starting in Brooklyn, two nights in Boston, and Newark (I'll see you at all of them )! Linkin Park will return to Belgium and Werchter next year with the newly announced Werchter-Parklife show, currently slated to wrap up their 2026 European Tour on July 28, 2026. We've been updating our Linkinpedia show pages over the last few weeks leading up to the tour with new features like more statistics, highlighting rotation songs, a banner at the top of the guide, and lots more, so be sure to head over there and explore what we've been up to! 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! And if you haven't noticed, we've made some upgrades to our LPLive and Linkinpedia servers so both sites should be running a lot more smoothly now! 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)!
