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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fixed this finally

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

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

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

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

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

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

There comes a moment in every Linkin Park fan's life where we ask ourselves: is it time to go to Rock am Ring? For me, today is not that day. For many others, however, today will be one for the record books. Linkin Park returns to headline Rock am Ring in Nürburg, Germany for the first time in eleven years and the first time since their comeback today, June 5, 2026! Linkin Park and Rock am Ring are just two things that go hand in hand, and that's for good reason. Over the years, the band has time and time again delivered career-defining performances at the festival, and it's time to see if history repeats itself on the band's sixth time there. The story all began back in 2001 on the Hybrid Theory World Tour, before they had reached headliner status and playing in the middle of the day. While that may be the case, the band demanded the crowd's attention as they proceeded to perform one of their greatest shows of the era. With everything from an iconic 'With You' and 'Runaway' show opener, album cuts like 'By Myself' and 'Forgotten,' and even pre-Hybrid Theory tracks including 'High Voltage,' 'And One,' and unbelievably even a bit of 'Pictureboard' as an instrumental interlude - before we had known what the song actually sounded like with the Hybrid Theory 20th Anniversary release, the performance was known as the 'In Yourself/Be Yourself' interlude. The case was finally cracked in 2020 with the boxset release, making an already historic show that much more insane. Before ending things off with an electrifying 'One Step Closer,' the band even jammed a bit of Guns N' Roses' 'Sweet Child O' Mine.' There's pretty much nothing this set doesn't have for an early Linkin Park show! Linkin Park's full performance from their very first Rock am Ring appearance on June 4, 2001. While they were only beginning their world takeover, with performances like these you can tell that everything was already set in stone. Linkin Park's next appearance at Rock am Ring was meant to kick off their headlining history, but unfortunately that had to wait just a bit longer - Rock am Ring 2003 was set to kick off the Meteora European Tour in June 2003, but the whole tour was cancelled just days before the show due to Chester being hospitalized due to severe back and abdominal pains. The band was able to make up their performance for Rock am Ring 2004, another legendary performance from the band seeing them in possibly some of the best form they had ever been in. Now with two albums and multiple jaunts around the world under their belt, the band burst back into Rock am Ring with confidence and even more flair. Meteora hits like 'From The Inside' and 'Somewhere I Belong' finally graced the stage while all the old monsters made their way back into the set; 'A Place For My Head' and 'Papercut' included. Multiple of the Meteora-era live classics also snuck their way into this one, including the Hip-Hop Medley featuring 'Step Up,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'It's Goin' Down' as well as the band's cover of Nine Inch Nails' 'Wish.' While the band didn't get to fulfill their headlining dreams at this show (Die Toten Hosen were billed above them), they were still able to perform a full set which still gets spoken of to this day. Linkin Park's full set from Rock am Ring 2004 on June 6, 2004. An age old debate: which early era show was more iconic, RaR 2001 or RaR 2004? It was upon their return with Minutes To Midnight that Linkin Park finally got to headline Rock am Ring, with the band's Rock am Ring 2007 performance once again going down in history, but this time as more a legend. The label prevented this show from being webcast, so unlike the previous years there is no full proshot recording of this show. A handful of songs were released on various channels after the fact (and a full audio recording does exist from the crowd), but we are largely missing a good view of the whole show. What we do know is that the band once again brought an insane performance to Rock am Ring, delivering the likes of 'No More Sorrow' and 'What I've Done' upon the crowd while dusting off new songs from the tour like 'Leave Out All The Rest' and 'The Little Things Give You Away.' And while we don't have a full recording, the performance of 'Faint' from this show is widely regarded as one of the best in the song's whole live history, from Chester's crazy screams to the unreal solo from Brad Delson. Linkin Park performing 'Faint' at Rock am Ring 2007 on June 1, 2007. I know for a fact that this is my favorite performance of the song ever - is it yours? The A Thousand Suns World Tour was the first to NOT feature Linkin Park at Rock am Ring, but that was swiftly corrected right at the start of the next tour. The band headlined the festival for the second time on the Living Things World Tour, bringing chaos at Rock am Ring 2012. The brand new setlist featured a lot of revivals of older tracks, including 'With You' (the heftiest revival, haven't being performed for almost six years at that point), 'Runaway,' 'Points Of Authority,' and 'Somewhere I Belong.' 'A Place For My Head' made a massive return as well, becoming the opening song of the night with a new intro to boot. Tracks like 'The Catalyst' and 'Iridescent' (in the form of the Ballad Medley with 'Shadow Of The Day' and 'Leave Out All The Rest') got a moment to shine after their album tour had missed the Rock am Ring stage, as well as two new songs from the upcoming record: 'Burn It Down' and 'Lies Greed Misery.' The band's most recent Rock am Ring excursion was on The Hunting Party World Tour, headlining Rock am Ring 2014. Another huge show full of unforgettable moments, the band performed their new setlist segmented into "acts" at this show, opening on a massive note with 'Guilty All The Same.' The band bounced between interludes and shortened tracks (a huge debate at the time) to stuff as many as they could into one set, and to their credit, they definitely brought a good variety of music to the crowd with these setlists. Even rarer tracks like 'A Light That Never Comes' and a full 'Until It's Gone' (with its short-lived 'No More Sorrow' + 'The Catalyst' mashup intro) had time to shine in the encore. The original Mike Shinoda solo medley (this version being a mashup of 'Wretches and Kings,' the 'Skin To Bone' Recharged remix, and 'Remember The Name') was also performed here, with Mike whipping out a verse of 'Hands Held High' over it - even a rarity to this day! With five unreal performances behind them and a long anticipated sixth just on the horizon - will Rock am Ring 2026 be another one to remember for a long time? Linkin Park's full performance from Rock am Ring 2014 - the last Chester Rock am Ring. Which performance at the festival over the years is your favorite? While the band will be returning to Rock am Ring for the first time in awhile, they've certainly been busy elsewhere in Germany. The band just wrapped up two massive sold out shows at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, and night two was definitely a whole different beast. With 'The Emptiness Machine' with its new extended intro following Inception Intro C ('Burn It Down' lyrics), the show got off to an eruptive start as 'Points Of Authority' made its first appearance on the leg right after. And after missing its first show of the entire tour, 'Somewhere I Belong' returned to close out Act I. 'Cut The Bridge' returned to Europe as well for the first time early in Act II, before 'Lying From You' came in by surprise after 'Waiting For The End.' Mike whipped out multiple 'Step Up' choruses (this seems to be the norm now) and a verse of 'Lift Off' for his solo medley, with Emily joining on drums again during the 'Remember The Name' section. 'Casualty' returned to the set for just the second time in 2026 afterward, with 'One Step Closer' taking out Act II. 'Breaking The Habit' and the shortened piano 'Lost' remained in Act III before 'Stained' rotated in again, two shows in a row but in different spots (and with Emily on keys!). 'Pushing Me Away' made an appearance as the synth intro to 'Overflow,' and 'From The Inside' was the night's final rotation right after. The band once again jammed to Tears For Fears' 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' spontaneously after 'Numb,' giving up after no one could decide which key to play it in. The night ended with 'In The End' and 'Faint,' a classic old-school combo to sign off an astonishing two sold-out stadium shows in Germany. Rock am Ring holds a lot of history, but does it hold time for some surprises? Despite the comeback and headlining slot, Linkin Park is allotted for a shorter set time than usual, getting the normal festival allotment of 90 minutes, similar to some of the sets they were doing in the summer of last year (e.g. Rock for People, Welcome To Rockville). But even with shorter sets, the band found plenty of time to change things up between shows with rotations and even debuts - 'Let You Fade' was performed for the first time a day after its release as Welcome To Rockville! So nothing is out of the question just yet, though some may say it's too late in the cycle for anything new to happen... But all we're saying is since the band has been experimenting with opening songs, an opening with 'A Place For My Head' would really blow our minds. The band doesn't typically cater their setlists to festivals, but we'd like to think Rock am Ring might be an exception this year. We're still holding out hope that 'With You' or 'Blackout' end up making an appearance before the tour is over - Rock am Ring may be just to spot to bring 'em out of retirement! The only rotation songs missing from the tour after the three shows so far are 'Castle Of Glass' and 'Given Up' - the second of which with its nature as a heavy single might finally get its moment here. Linkin Park opening their second night at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany with Inception Intro C and 'The Emptiness Machine.' With three possible opening songs now ('Somewhere I Belong,' 'The Emptiness Machine,' and 'Lying From You'), do you think the band will keep trying new ones out? As we all hoped and prayed, this show will be livestreamed! The stream will be live via Magenta TV and MagentaMuzik, and will live on magentamuzik.de. According to the company on Instagram it appears that the stream will be available to watch worldwide! In the event it is region-locked to Germany, make sure to prepare a VPN which historically work with these events. Who's going to the show? Weatherman Rogue Soul is spending his day traveling to Austria for the next headlining show so sadly I won't be there, but I can tell you to pack a hoodie or coat because tomorrow is looking chilly and damp with a high of 19°C and a low of 8°C. Not a lot of rain is in the forecast but expect there to be bouts of it throughout the later afternoon. Doesn't look like anything that should stop the fun, though! The band share the bill with a plethora of great artists throughout the day including Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, Architects, Don Broco, Within Temptation, Mastodon, Loathe, and plenty more - the day is absolutely packed, so be sure to catch as many good bands as you can! Linkin Park continues to Rock im Park after this show before continuing the headlining run with shows in Vienna, Austria and two in Munich, Germany - I'll be seeing you at those!

Germany, Germany, Germany. I've had a very fun two days being inside you so far (pause), and the fun isn't stopping yet! The From Zero World Tour's final leg continues with its first of three two-night stands, the first of which will conclude with tonight's second show at Hamburg, Germany's Volksparkstadion on June 3, 2026! Like with the last post, I'll skip the history lesson for what is now our third show in Hamburg this tour (you can read up on Linkin Park's Hamburg history in the 2024 pre-show post), but one fun fact I'd like to share is that yesterday through the afternoon and evening, Linkin Park held a Linkin Pizza event in Hamburg right outside the Grünspan, the site of their very first German concert in January 2001. Stopping by to see a piece of Linkin Park history before grabbing an admittedly quite good slice of pizza and singing karaoke next door with a bunch of Linkin Park fans - all I can say it was a great off-day for the tour for the fans! This all comes after the band performed a huge show for night one at the Volksparkstadion on Monday. Things got spicy immediately, with 'Lying From You' opening the show for the first time ever after Inception Intro B (with 'Iridescent' vocals) introduced the band. Act I continued in generally normal fashion, with 'New Divide' with its Short Moscow Intro making its first appearance in Europe and 'The Emptiness Machine' returning to the closing part of the Act after opening the show in Stockholm, Sweden. 'Somewhere I Belong' notably did not get performed at this show, making it the first time the song, as the staple opener for the majority of the tour, had not featured in a set since the band's return. Act II kept the surprises going, with 'Stained' (featuring Emily playing keys for the first time) as the first rotation and 'A Place For My Head' making an appearance mid-set after 'Waiting For The End.' For his solo medley, Mike whipped out the chorus of 'Step Up' and verse three of 'Until It Breaks' before 'Unshatter' made a welcome appearance as the heavy rotation of the night! In Act III, 'Breaking The Habit' solidified it's spot after the shortened 'Lost,' both making a return on this leg right before 'Good Things Go' rotated in. Act IV didn't feature many crazy surprises with 'Over Each Other' being the rotation song and no real shenanigans during 'Numb.' The show wrapped up with 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' - the latter of which curiously featured 'A Place For My Head' as its bridge verse, even though the actual song was already played. I feel like I could see Mike realize that fact in his head mid-way through the verse BUT, with LPLive in the crowd there can never be too much APFMH, so no complaints here. Linkin Park opening their show at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany on June 1, 2026 with Inception Intro B and 'Lying From You,' the first time they've used the latter as an opener. Night two is always where things get spicy. Though the band has only done two shows so far, they've gotten through a considerable amount of the rotations. Not much is missing from the tour, but songs yet to be rotated in include 'Points Of Authority,' 'Castle Of Glass,' 'Cut The Bridge,' 'From The Inside,' 'Casualty,' and 'Given Up' - and it's very likely we see at least two of these pop up during this show. However, if past precedent is anything to consider, night two is usually where Linkin Park has been bringing out the big guns in terms of deep cuts or debuts on this tour. At the last night two-night stand in Boston, we saw the return of 'Lies Greed Misery' into the setlists, which remains the last song to get an Emily/Alex/Colin debut to date. Still missing from 2024 after the series of revivals this year are 'My December' and 'Friendly Fire' as well, which would both be welcome surprises. Will the band have anything in store for their second night of Hamburg? And not to get anyone's hopes up, but we saw copies of a setlist floating around yesterday that featured a certain song that didn't end up getting played so... if the rumors are true to be believed, we could have some tasty things in store for us in Hamburg once again. Linkin Park performing 'A Place For My Head' live at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany on June 1, 2026. What rotations do they have in store for us for night two? Once again, the band will be supported by two opening acts: first up is Phantogram, an electronic rock project from New York that fills the arena with some ethereal jams. Hits like 'Black Out Days' and 'Fall In Love' will get you both moving and entranced, perhaps in the same way Mike did when listening to Phantogram helped inspire his own song 'What The Words Meant.' Following Phantogram is Clipse, the rap duo consisting of Pusha T and Malice. Delivering powerful bars and rugged instrumentals, the famous duo fill the venue with a sense of urgency and groove as they proceed Linkin Park. As we've been mentioning before, Pusha T has previously collaborated with Linkin Park a number of times, most notably on 'Good Goodbye' from One More Light - will we finally see the album get some representation in the setlist AND some more onstage collabs? Time will tell! Phantogram performing their song 'Black Out Days' at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany on June 1, 2026. Who's going to the show? Myself, AndOne (Jonas), and Jon Barker will all be at the venue ready for another round of action - and this time I'm in the pit, so get ready to get rowdy with me if anything crazy goes down. After some success on Night 1, I'm going to attempt to livestream the show from the LPLive Twitter account again (connection allowing), so stay tuned on that front during the show! I'll remember to turn on comments this time. Weatherman Rogue Soul has boots on the ground and can unfortunately report that tomorrow will be a wet one, with rain forecast throughout the day with a high at 21°C and a low of 15°C (69°F - 59°F for my fellow Americans following along), so bundle up, stay as dry as you can, and get ready to jam! Linkin Park continues their tour from here through Germany with two huge shows headlining Rock am Ring and Rock im Park up next before they head over to Vienna, Austria for more headlining show action. As always, we are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 and 2026 tour, including wristbands, tickets, setlists, exclusive pop-up store content, and more.

hello from Hamburg! in my hotel room about to try and get some sleep, but super excited to finally have some Linkin Park Germany experiences. time to see if all the hype was real

The last leg of the From Zero World Tour is off to a flying start! After delivering a plethora of surprises and a strong performance on the opening night, Linkin Park are bringing the tour to their favorite country: that's right, it's Germany time! The band will be playing the first of six shows in the country on Monday, June 1, 2026 in Hamburg, Germany at the Volksparkstadion for their first of two nights in the stadium, in what will likely be their biggest shows in the city yet! This'll be Linkin Park's second (and third) time visiting Hamburg on this tour, with the first being back in 2024, their very first European show of their comeback. Since I ran down the full history lesson and that pre-show post (and I have to start packing...), I'll skip the history lesson today - you can read Linkin Park's Hamburg history here if you want to run back the tapes, though. Long story short, this will be Linkin Park's ninth show in the city (twelfth if we're counting promo performances). Linkin Park's show at the Barclays Arena in September 2024 was a euphoric, legendary night as the band crossed the Atlantic for the first time in seven years. It's easy to remember the feeling of that period of time leading up to From Zero's release - and I'm sure anyone who was at this show in Hamburg can agree. Those early shows were some of the most exciting and unbelievable times, but here we are almost two years later, now familiar with the idea that Linkin Park is back and with almost a whole tour of experience behind them now. The band's setlist in 2024 featured a good handful of older material that didn't quite make it into 2024... but may be back in 2026 (we'll get into that later). Following the band show by show, it's easy to forget how much the set has morphed since back then. Act I kicked off with the familiar Inception Intro A ('Castle Of Glass' theme) into 'Somewhere I Belong,' with the band keeping the old-school action going by following up with 'Crawling,' 'Lying From You,' and 'Points Of Authority.' 'New Divide' with its recently revived Moscow Intro kept the nostalgia going before 'The Emptiness Machine' wrapped up the act with a reminder that this was, in fact, a new era. Act II seems mostly familiar, with less rotation songs but the same staples like 'The Catalyst,' 'Burn It Down,' and Mike's solo medley ('When They Come For Me/Remember The Name'), which at the time didn't feature any extended random verse madness (that was a 2025 addition). Instead of the typical heavy rotation we're used to nowadays, the band played 'Lost In The Echo' as a rotation song before 'Given Up' and 'One Step Closer' brought us to the middle of the show. We were dealing with the 360° stage back then, so at that point the band left the stage so that the crew could rotate the instruments around so that each side of the crowd got to properly see each member. Act III started dramatically, with the shortened piano version of 'Lost' stunning the audience before 'Breaking The Habit' made things even more dramatic. 'What I've Done' wrapped things up, taking us into Act IV, which has perhaps changed the most out of any other part of the set. The 2017 Version of 'Leave Out All The Rest' started things off before the band launched into a heartbreaking acoustic rendition of 'My December,' followed by another emotional performance of the rare 'Friendly Fire,' which remains the only piece of music from the One More Light era to be performed on the From Zero World Tour. The rest of the set was pretty similar to what we have today, though that includes one big surprise: the band premiered 'Heavy Is The Crown' to the whole world in the encore, debuting the song ahead of its release a few days later. The band returned to Europe in a huge fashion back in 2024 in Hamburg, and we're sure 2026 will be even more spectacular! Linkin Park debuting 'Heavy Is The Crown' to the world during the encore of their performance at the Barclays Arena in Hamburg, Germany on September 22, 2024. Linkin Park performed their first show of the leg on May 29 at the 3Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, and as far as tour openers went, this one certainly had the fanbase watching with close eyes. At long last, we had some major changes in the setlist structure, starting right at the beginning! The band opened the show with Inception Intro A (the 'Castle Of Glass' theme) and led into 'The Emptiness Machine' which featured a new extended intro, making it the first full show of the world tour to NOT open with 'Somewhere I Belong' and the first time 'The Emptiness Machine' opened a show since its premiere at the launch show in September 2024. 'Somewhere I Belong' was moved to the end of Act I, swapping spots with 'The Emptiness Machine.' Act II continued the show relatively normally, with 'Lies Greed Misery' and 'Over Each Other' kicking off this leg's rotations. Mike whipped out another medley of verses during his solo medley (Medleyception?), performing parts of 'Step Up' and 'Lift Off' before coming back to 'Remember The Name.' Eagle eyed fans notice the surprises didn't end there, though, as Colin left the drumming duties for 'Remember The Name' up to Emily! After all these shenanigans, the band launched into 'IGYEIH' for the heavy rotation. Act III is where things really got spicy, with 'Breaking The Habit' and the shortened piano version of 'Lost' making their return for the first time since São Paulo 2024 Night Two. 'Let You Fade' was added in right after as well, making it the first time that Act III featured an extra song! The surprises didn't end there, however, as the band launched into 'Lost In The Echo' in Act IV, another revival from 2024 with it being the first performance since São Paulo 2024 Night One! That brings up to three song revivals this year so far, with 'Leave Out All The Rest' making a triumphant return at the end of the last leg in Australia & New Zealand. The band whipped out a Funky Jazz outro to 'Numb' before 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' (with a verse of 'A Place For My Head' in the bridge) wrapped up the main set. The band closed out their show with a heavy triple-hitter of 'Papercut,' 'In The End,' and 'Faint.' With three songs now brought back from the dead (2024) in 2026, and multiple two night stands ahead of us, it's time for the speculation to begin. Hamburg is the first of three two-night stands on this tour (the others being Munich, Germany and Rivas-Vaciamadrid, Spain), so this is likely where things start to get funky. As far as From Zero songs are concerned, 'Cut The Bridge,' 'Good Things Go,' 'Stained,' 'Casualty,' and 'Unshatter' waiting to bat for this European Tour still - it's likely we'll see at least two of these come out for Night One in Hamburg. For our Act I rotations, 'New Divide' and 'Points Of Authority' are waiting in the shadows while 'Castle Of Glass' or even 'From The Inside' could be subbed in for Act II. The heavy rotation could be any of 'Keys To The Kingdom,' 'Casualty,' 'Given Up,' or now even 'Unshatter'! Act III is a big question - will 'Breaking The Habit' be a staple for the rest of the tour while 'Lost' retains its shortened form, or will the full 'Lost' now be in rotation itself? And will 'Let You Fade' remain, or is there a new rotation spot afoot, perhaps with 'Leave Out All The Rest.' 'Lost In The Echo' has a potential spot up for rotation in Act IV as well - perhaps where 'A Place For My Head' or 'From The Inside' could make an appearance? Two songs remain from 2024 that haven't seen the light since yet: 'Friendly Fire' and 'My December.' Perhaps there's room for them now in the expanded Act III? There's a lot of new variables to keep an eye on during the coming shows! And there's always a chance that the band has something new in their back pocket... looking at you, 'With You' and 'Blackout.' Linkin Park performing their song 'Lost In The Echo' at the 3Arena in Stockholm, Sweden on May 29, 2026 for the first time since November 2024! Opening the show will be Clipse and Phantogram. Clipse is the hip-hop duo of Malice and Pusha T., supporting their latest record Let God Sort Em Out. Filled with charged lyricism and dark, atmospheric beats from the likes of 'Art Trumpets' and 'Chains & Whips,' you can expect to see two rap figures some of their most important work on display. Pusha T. previously collaborated with Linkin Park on 'Good Goodbye' (and the 'I'll Be Gone' remix from RECHARGED), so it'd be cool to see him come out and perform with Linkin Park onstage! After Clipse comes Phantogram, bringing more of an alternative, electronic rock vibe to the mix with some of their biggest songs. Opening with 'You Don't Get Me High Anymore,' Phantogram bring lots of energy and mystery as they chug through more hits like 'Black Out Days' and 'Fall In Love.' The band are credited by Mike for inspiring his song 'What The Words Meant,' a bonus track from his Post Traumatic release. It'd be great to see Phantogram get involved with the band onstage too - maybe vocalist Sarah Barthel could join for 'Burn It Down' like Lynn Gunn from PVRIS did! Phanotgram performing their song 'Black Out Days' at the 3Arena in Stockholm, Sweden on May 29, 2026. Who's going to the show? I'm flying out tonight from Newark, NJ for my first trip to Europe ever for all the German headline shows and Vienna, so I hope to see some of you there! Weatherman Rogue Soul will have his boots on the ground for this one, but as of writing it looks like Monday will be a cloudy but warm day in Hamburg, with temperatures ranging from 22°C to 13°C at night (that's 72°F and 55°F for my American ass), so you can dress light and be ready to jam! The band performs their second show at the Volksparkstadion on June 3 before heading off for legendary headlining performances at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are back! Rogue Soul is back on pre-show post duty (for now) after my excursion to India and I'm ready to get rolling back into tour mode with you, but perhaps this is the beginning of the end. The final leg of the From Zero World Tour kicks off tomorrow, Friday the 29th of May 2026 at the 3Arena in Stockholm, Sweden - the band's fourth show in the country and third show in Stockholm, and by far their biggest there yet! This will be Linkin Park's first show in Sweden in nine years, their last being on the One More Light European Tour when they headlined the Bråvalla Festival in Norrköpping. This summer 2017 setlist was one of the best we had seen in years, with the legendary 'Roads Untraveled' and 'Fallout' mashup show opener leading right into 'Talking To Myself.' The set was full of plenty of surprises including an old-school reunion during 'One Step Closer,' when Christian Lindskog of Blindside came out to perform with the band for the first time since 2003! New songs from One More Light dotted the set, including 'Heavy' and 'Invisible' while the band also found time to squeeze in a classic 'Points Of Authority' near the end of the main set. Some Fort Minor moments also found their way into the set, with 'Petrified' being rapped over the newly remixed section of the 'Castle Of Glass' Experience and a unique 'Remember The Name' intro to 'Numb,' as the song 'Remember The Name' usually preceded as an intro ('Waiting For The End') was not performed that night. Linkin Park's full performance at the Bråvalla Festival in Norrköpping, Sweden on June 29, 2017 - skip to 17:30 to see Christian from Blindside perform 'One Step Closer' with the band! Linkin Park's last show in Stockholm itself takes us way back 15 years (!) to the A Thousand Suns World Tour, when Linkin Park performed their first headlining show of their 2011 European Tour to the Ericsson Globe Arena (now the Avicii Arena), unleashing Set B16 upon Europe for the first time. Featuring an opening sequence of 'The Requiem,' 'The Radiance,' 'Faint,' 'Lying From You,' 'Given Up,' and a rare early set 'What I've Done,' you just know Sweden was in for some trouble that night. Other goodies from A Thousand Suns that made their way into the set included 'Burning In The Skies,' 'Iridescent,' and an encore opening 'Empty Spaces' and 'When They Come For Me.' The band made their first stop in Sweden at the crux of the Minutes To Midnight World Tour in May 2007, a headlining show at the Globe Arena being the second stop on the first proper leg of the tour. With Thirty Seconds To Mars and Blindside supporting, Linkin Park unleashed a lot of new music upon the country, with 'One Step Closer' opening the show before heavy hitters like 'Given Up' and 'No More Sorrow' made some of their first appearances. 'Leave Out All The Rest' and 'The Little Things Give You Away,' which had debuted at the show prior, were also taken for another spin while tracks like 'Don't Stay' and the piano version of 'Pushing Me Away' kept things going in between. Linkin Park's full show at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden on June 14, 2011 - the A Thousand Suns World Tour stage setup and setlists were really something else! That show actually should've been Linkin Park's third show in the country, but their prior two appearances in the country were cancelled; the first was set for September 2001 to kick off the band's 2001 European Tour, but this show along with one in Fredericksburg, Denmark were cancelled, allegedly due to a "restructuring" of their US Tour, though we've never been able to find any official mention of this show or its cancellation on the Internet. Its existence is only known from a tour itinerary from 2001 that includes the date on it as well as a tour t-shirt found on Ebay that included it. Another show was set for the Hultsfred festival on the 2003 European Tour, but that entire tour had to be cancelled due to Chester being hospitalized with severe back and abdominal pains. Funnily enough (or perhaps not so funny for you Swedish fans), the band had a third show cancelled in Sweden in 2008 at the same Hultsfred festival, making it the only festival they've ever had to cancel on twice - the second cancellation was due to Brad being sick and under doctor's orders to rest. The next show at the Greenfield festival in Switzerland also had to be cancelled. If we go by the numbers, there's like a 50% chance this show actually happens... just kidding! All is looking good for a great show to kick off the final European leg of the tour! Linkin Park's last show on the From Zero World Tour was all the way down under in Auckland, New Zealand, wrapping up their Australian & New Zealand Tour in a big fashion. Performing Set B (with 'Iridescent' lyrics in the interludes), Act I saw the band rotate in 'Lying From You' and 'Points Of Authority, with 'Up From The Bottom' snugly in between before 'The Emptiness Machine' carried us into Act II. 'Castle Of Glass' was the LIVING THINGS rotation of the night before 'From The Inside' made an appearance for the fourth show in a row. 'Unshatter' made a rare appearance for the second time on the leg (second time in 2026 and fifth time ever) as the rotation song at the end of the act, right before Mike unleashed an insane medley of verses over his 'When They Come For Me/Remember The Name' solo medley. The medley included multiple choruses of 'Step Up' (with drums from Colin), 'Until It Breaks' verse 3, and the 'Lift Off' demo verse. We hope to see some similar Shinoda Shenanigans™ occur on this upcoming leg! too. Act III kept the surprises coming, with the recently revived 2017 Version of 'Leave Out All The Rest' making its second appearance in two shows since its last performances in 2024! The band kept the energy going in Act IV, with 'Overflow' featuring 'One' by 'Metallica' as its synth intro of the night. Emily stopped 'Faint' during the intro so a fan who had fallen could get some help (just like Chester did in Australia back in 2013 during a performance of 'Points Of Authority') before the band kicked back into things to end the main set. The encore finished things off with a bang, with 'Papercut,' 'Heavy Is The Crown,' and 'Bleed It Out' (with a verse of 'There They Go') closing out the night. The band's ventures in early 2026 were quite the interesting ride, and we're looking forward to seeing what happens on this last stretch! Linkin Park performing 'Leave Out All The Rest' at the Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand on March 18, 2026. Will we see anymore of the 2024 songs make a comeback this summer? Can we expect any major surprises for the end of the tour? We haven't seen any Emily/Colin/Alex debuts yet this year, with the last being 'Lies Greed Misery' back in Boston last summer. Fans are still adamantly awaiting the return of 'With You' and 'Blackout' after they were mentioned as songs Colin and Emily want to perform live, and with the return of 'Leave Out All The Rest,' the door is opened for more tracks from the initial 2024 run that have since been dropped for more From Zero material to be reintroduced into the set. These include the likes of 'Lost In The Echo,' 'Breaking The Habit,' 'Friendly Fire,' and 'My December,' any of which would be great to see back in rotation! As seen with the one-off performance of 'All For Nothing' back in Arlington 2024 (still one of the craziest things to ever happen with this band live, btw), it's clear that the band don't mind whipping out something special to get the opening act involved - Clipse are opening for the band on this run of shows, and for those who don't know, Clipse is a hip-hop duo consisting of Malice and Pusha T. While Malice hasn't collab'ed with the band or its members (yet), fans will remember that Pusha T. featured on 'Good Goodbye' from One More Light. When the band performed the song in 2017, they performed a shortened live version that featured an extra verse from Mike, and the band performed the song with Stormzy (the song's other guest) at their two stops in London that tour. 'Good Goodbye' has never been performed with Pusha before, so maybe 2026 is the moment to complete the circle. What're your guesses as to what we'll see on this upcoming leg - more of the same, or is Linkin Park cooking up something special? Linkin Park will be supported by two groups for the majority of the upcoming tour: first up is the aforementioned Clipse. Initially active in the mid-90s and 2000s, Clipse have made a return to the scene in the last years and will be a good hip-hop precursor for what's to come at night. Their latest record, 2025's Let God Sort Em Out is chock full of trancey and dark instrumentals accentuated by carefully calculated verses and lyricism. Top tracks include 'Ace Trumpets' and 'Chains & Whips,' the latter featuring Kendrick Lamar and Pharrell. Following Clipse will be electronic outfit Phantogram. Featuring a dreamier yet just as urgent soundscape, Phantogram's music captures both intimate moments and massive ones, with tracks like 'Black Out Days' and 'When I'm Small' sure to be featured in their set. A fun fact about Phantogram - they are credited as the inspiration for Mike's 'What The Words Meant,' a bonus track from his Post Traumatic album. It's cool to see some things come full circle like this - and it'd be even cooler to see some collabs onstage with these great acts! Phantogram performing their song 'Black Out Days' at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, California on March 11, 2026. With the dark hip-hop vibes of Clipse and the ethereal pop rock of Phantogram, we will all be in for a great night of music! Who's going to the show? Rogue Soul pre-show post means WEATHERMAN ROGUE SOUL IS BACK with some good news! Friday is looking cool but sunny as the Nordic clouds disperse to make way for Linkin Park, so expect fair weather but the regular Stockholm chill with a high temperature of 19°C and a low of 9°C. If you're looking for a bite to eat before the show, look no further than the Linkin Buns truck on Arenaslingan 7 at 4:00pm - the first 500 fans get a free cinnamon bun! After this show, Linkin Park embarks on a pretty extensive run of German shows with two nights in Hamburg before their triumphant return to Rock am Ring and Rock im Park. I'm flying out to Germany on Saturday for the headline shows (+ Vienna), so I hope to see some of you out there! As always, we are looking for pictures or scans of a number of items from the band's 2025 and 2026 tour, including wristbands, tickets, setlists, exclusive pop-up store content, and more. If you have anything to contribute, check out our thread on the matter and submit your pictures directly to us - if they meet the mark we will get them uploaded to the show pages and credit you (and also blur your information out where applicable)! Last year we launched an LPLive Newsletter for those looking for more of a TL;DR version of what's going on with the tour than my pre-show posts - we'll be sending it out every couple of weeks so as to not flood your inbox, and will be bringing you an overview of both tour and general news updates, so be sure to sign up if you haven't already! We'll have you covered on everything the band does at this show and everything they whip out for the rest of the year, so be sure to sign up on the forums and follow us on social media (Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook)! ™Ac

Happy 2026 everyone! Hoping everyone's new year is off to a great start so far. Linkin Park are back in business and are ready to bring the From Zero World Tour to more fans across the world! We're kicking off with a place I don't think anyone ever thought they'd play a show, but it's a new day and age in 2026! Linkin Park kick off their mini-tour across the Middle East and India with their first show ever in Sakhir, Bahrain at the Beyon Al Dana Amphitheater on Sunday, January 18, 2026! While this will be Linkin Park's first show in the country of Bahrain, it won't be the first time they've stopped in the Middle East - not even on this tour alone! The band made their first appearance with Emily in the region back at the end of 2024, at the Soundstorm Festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Their first appearance in Saudi Arabia, the band performed a short yet electrifying set, mixed with new tracks like 'The Emptiness Machine,' 'Over Each Other,' and 'Two Faced,' as well as older hits like 'Given Up' (returning to the setlists after having been dropped on their brief 2024 South American stint) and 'One Step Closer.' This itself was Linkin Park's first visit to the Middle East since their debut performances there in 2010 on the A Thousand Suns World Tour. Stopping in Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv, the band delivered amazing shows with quite special moments: Abu Dhabi's set featured a very rare 'Fallout' into 'The Catalyst' opener (for the last time until 2017), while Chester sang a cover of Bob Marley's 'No Woman, No Cry' during the intro of 'The Messenger' in Tel Aviv. Mike Shinoda's Post Traumatic Tour also stopped in Tel Aviv in 2019 for a pair of shows - the only city to have two nights in a row on the whole tour! Night one featured rarities including 'Sorry For Now' with a 'High Voltage' verse, 'Kenji,' and b-side 'Prove You Wrong,' while tracks like 'Ghosts,' 'Make It Up As I Go,' and 'Crossing The Line' added a brighter energy to the set. Night two had even more surprises, including an early-set piano sing-a-long of 'The Catalyst,' the tour debut of 'Invisible,' 'High Road' with our beloved Jim Digby onstage, 'Watching As I Fall' with Mike's tour security Ed Majic on guitar, and 'Nobody Can Save Me' in the encore. During the live version 'Lift Off,' Mike whipped out verses of 'Step Up' and 'High Voltage,' as well! These sets were packed with goods for fans who made it to the shows, and really have us hoping that Mike does another smaller solo tour in the future! Right now, though, it's Linkin Park time. Linkin Park performing 'Given Up' at the Soundstorm Festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 12, 2024. The Middle East has opened up a lot since the band was absent, so it's exciting to see the band play in new places and hit different parts of the world more often! The From Zero World Tour left off in South America and Mexico, with the band's most extensive tour of the continent to date and their triumphant return to Mexico after a successful tour there at the start of the year (also the first time the band has visited the country on separate occasions on the same world tour)! The band's last show was the headlining slot at Mexico City's Corona Capital festival, where the band performed their full two hour show after being granted a full headlining time by a festival for the first time in their history. Performing Set B ('Iridescent' lyrics in the interludes), opening with the familiar Inception Intro into 'Somewhere I Belong,' rotating in 'Lying From You,' 'Up From The Bottom,' and 'New Divide' in Act I before 'The Emptiness Machine' closed it out. 'Cut The Bridge,' 'Points Of Authority,' and 'IGYEIH' all made surprise appearances in Act II, as well as a verse of 'It's Goin' Down' during Mike's solo medley. Act III saw 'Stained' rotate in after 'Lost,' while Act IV wrapped up the main set with 'One' by Metallica performed by Mike on synth during the intro of 'Overflow' and 'Over Each Other' rotating in. The show closed with the 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out' combo, the latter of which featured a verse of 'A Place For My Head' over the extended bridge. Corona Capital was a massive way to end an absolutely massive year - certainly the band's busiest in decades (it definitely was for us)! Big things are definitely waiting for us in 2026! Linkin Park's full performance at the Corona Capital festival in Mexico City, Mexico on November 16, 2025. What a way to take out a groundbreaking year for the band - and we were blessed with two epic pro shots at the end of it all! What is in store for us in 2026? It's hard to say, at this point in time - with all of From Zero performed live ('From Zero (Intro)' and deluxe tracks included), there aren't really any live debuts left to hunt down in the new year, which leaves options open for the return of older songs. It should be noted that two of the deluxe tracks - 'Unshatter' and 'Let You Fade' - were absent from the band's entire South American jaunt that closed out the year of touring. With 'Unshatter' having only three total performances under it's belt, both songs have been absent since the band's show in Portland, Oregon in September 2024 - which was also the first show to feature all three deluxe tracks in one setlist. We're looking back in the discography for surprises in 2026, now! 2025 was full of live debuts, but we did also get some older songs added into the mix: the full version of 'Lost' with its piano start into the full band and 'From The Inside' both debuted in Mexico at the start of the year, while 'Lies Greed Misery' returned to the setlist for the first time since 2013 during the band's North American Tour in the summer. 'Where'd You Go' also got its Linkin Park debut and became an integral part of the setlist on the first string of North American dates in the spring. Many songs from 2024 were missing, as well throughout the year: we haven't seen 'Breaking The Habit,' 'Leave Out All The Rest,' 'My December,' 'Friendly Fire,' or 'Lost In The Echo' since the first run of shows in 2024. We definitely wouldn't complain if any of these were added back into the rotation this year! Two out of four requests from Emily have made it into the show so far: 'Lies Greed Misery' and 'Where'd You Go.' The two missing are probably the currently most heavily requested songs from the fanbase right for an Emily debut: 'With You' and 'Blackout.' The return of those songs would certainly set the fanbase into a frenzy - will 2026 be the year? Let us know your predictions! Opening the show will be the Dubai-native PeachPuffs, a newer band on the scene with only a 5-song EP out but a big sound. Sampling through tracks like 'You Happen To Be Insane' and 'Sleepwalking,' it looks like these guys are destined to make some waves through the Middle East and beyond - and it'll definitely be a proper opening show for Linkin Park! If you haven't heard of these guys, give them a listen! PeachPuffs performing their song 'Sleepwalking' at LSB Dubai in the United Arab Emirates - definitely one of the more intriguing opening acts on the From Zero World Tour so far! Who's going to the show? Weatherman Rogue Soul is back and reporting a beautiful day in Bahrain with temperatures as high as 20°C and a low of 12°C. Dress comfortably (or appropriately? I honestly don't know how things be running out here) for the show and get ready to kick off 2026's tour with a bang! After this show, Linkin Park returns to the United Arab Emirates for the first time since 2010 in Abu Dhabi on January 20 before heading to India for their first shows in the country in Bengaluru and Lollapalooza Mumbai. I'll be at the India shows, so hopefully I'll see some of 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 and 2026 tour, including wristbands, tickets, setlists, exclusive pop-up store content, and more. If you have anything to contribute, check out our thread on the matter and submit your pictures directly to us - if they meet the mark we will get them uploaded to the show pages and credit you (and also blur your information out where applicable)!

Kiwis, your cries have been heard - Linkin Park will be making their triumphant return to New Zealand on March 18, 2026 in Auckland at the Spark Arena! This adds another stop to the Australian Leg (which is now the Australia & New Zealand Leg) which stops in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney throughout the rest of the month. LPU Legacy Presale: Monday, December 8 @ 12pm NZST LPU Passport Presale: Monday, December 8 @ 1pm NZST General Sale: Friday, December 12 @ 1pm NZST This will be Linkin Park's fourth show ever in the country and city, and the first since 2013's LPU Summit in Auckland - 13 years since their last show! With the From Zero World Tour getting longer yet again, 2026 is looking like a big year yet again - who's going to try and get tickets?

We've reached the end of the tour... for the year! Linkin Park's From Zero World Tour has one more stop for 2025, and it's going to be a big finale to a big year of touring! The band will headline Mexico City's Corona Capital festival for the first time, returning to the country for the second time on the tour on November 16, 2025! Linkin Park's return to Mexico on the From Zero World Tour is somewhat of an unprecedented move for them - this'll be the first time the band has ever made two separate stops in the country on one world tour, usually only stopping by for one or two shows a cycle. The Mexican Leg of the tour that kicked off 2025 seemed to have made quite the impact on the band and the fans with how soon they returned! The band made three stops in the country back in January 2025: Mexico City, Zapopan, and Monterrey. These were the first shows to feature changes to the setlist following the release of From Zero, notably dropping a number of older songs in favor of new material. The main changes to the setlist (that largely are still in place today) include the live debuts of 'Overflow' and 'Good Things Go,' as well as the full band debut of 'Lost' as the band performed the entire song. 'From The Inside' returned to the setlist in Monterrey, making it the first time the song had ever been performed with Colin, Emily, and Alex, and is one of only two songs that were "revived" this year (the other being 'Lies Greed Misery' in the summer). Mike also performed the bridge of 'Cut The Bridge' over the bridge of 'Bleed It Out' (good ol' Bridgeception) at the shows (as well as at the three following shows in Asia), making it the first ever appearance of the track in setlists before it debuted later in the year. 2025 began and will end with shows in Mexico - we started with a bang, and we're sure we're going to go out with one! Linkin Park performing 'Good Things Go' at the Estadio 3 de Marzo in Zapopan, Mexico on February 3, 2025. This was the song's second performance ever - will it make one last return in the country at Corona Capital? The band wrapped up their South American Tour at their last show in Brasília, Brazil on Tuesday, taking the tour out in a big way for their first headlining show in the country's capital. The band performed Set A ('Castle Of Glass' theme), and whipped out the following rotation songs: 'Points Of Authority' and 'Crawling' in Act I; 'Over Each Other,' 'Castle Of Glass,' and 'Casualty' in Act II (with a verse of 'Until It Breaks' over Mike's solo and Poppy guesting on 'One Step Closer'); 'Stained' in Act III; and finally 'From The Inside' in Act IV, closing the show with 'In The End' and 'Faint.' Encompassing all of the times Linkin Park as a band has picked up their instruments to perform as a band for fans (including private performances, soundchecks, etc.), this show was Linkin Park's 1,000th performance! Their proper 1,000th show will likely come in 2027 on whatever comes next after the From Zero World Tour, but it's an LPLive statistic worth celebrating! Despite this being a festival show, Linkin Park is scheduled for a full two hours on the timesheet, meaning they have time for their full set! It's entirely possible, if not likely that something or the other will be omitted, but they have more time then they generally would for a festival headlining set so things are looking good for Mexico! If I had to wager a guess, I'd say the set format will be similar to when Linkin Park's I-Days set in Milan, Italy, where they played almost a full set, with a few omissions to fit the festival time. We're not quite sure what the band will roll with for this show in Mexico City, but assuming they keep their rotations consistent, Corona Capital is lined up for Set B, with 'Iridescent' vocals during the interludes, last performed in Curitiba, Brazil. At that show, the band played these rotations: 'Crawling' and 'New Divide' in Act I; 'Cut The Bridge,' 'From The Inside,' and 'Given Up' in Act II; 'Over Each Other' in Act III; and 'Stained' in Act IV, closing the night with 'Heavy Is The Crown' and 'Bleed It Out.' If we see these rotations in Mexico City, we are sure in for a wild ride! It seems unlikely at this point that the band will bring out any of the "missing" songs from the this last stretch of shows ('Keys To The Kingdom,' 'Unshatter,' and 'Let You Fade'), but 'Let You Fade' DID get its live debut at a festival earlier this year (Welcome To Rockville in Daytona Beach, Florida), so anything is possible! Linkin Park's full show at the Estádio Mane Garrincha in Brasília, Brazil on November 11, 2025. This whole South American leg was one for the record books, and this last show in Brazil was no exception! It's looking very likely that this show will be officially livestreamed by Corona Capital! The festival streamed artists like Foo Fighters and Chappell Roan on Saturday, so we'll be tuned in Sunday to watch Linkin Park, too! It seems that the livestream will be both on the festival's official YouTube Channel as well as on vix.com - however the stream is geolocked to Mexico and a few other countries (I've read reports of it working in Australia and possibly the United States). We'll have more precise info as the show nears, so check back and be sure to set your alarms for 11:00pm CST when the band is scheduled to go onstage! If the band DOES play Set B, this will be the first proshot we have of this set and will be the first time the 'Iridescent' themed interludes are caught on some form of official audio, so fingers crossed! As this is a festival, lots of great acts will be performing throughout the day alongside Linkin Park! I'll also be tuning in to the Deftones stream when they perform the closing set on the Escenario Doritos! Linkin Park plays the MainStage (Escenario Corona) alongside Weezer, AFI (who opened for them on their previous Mexico jaunt!), Alexandra Savior, and Arny Margaret. Other great acts on the lineup include TV On The Radio, Of Monsters and Men, Peach Pit, SYML, and more - if you're going to the festival, be sure to check lots of different acts out! With all these great bands on deck, hopefully we see a collaboration take place during Linkin Park's show, too - a guest spot from Chino Moreno or Davey Havok would be an epic way to wrap up a long year of touring! Who's going to the show? Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting in for the final outlook for the year, and it's looking like a beautiful day in Mexico City, with a high of 25°C! It'll get chilly at night as it dips down to 9°C, so be sure to be prepared for the colder night but be ready for a great time! Linkin Park has the rest of 2025 off, but the From Zero World Tour will kick back up at the end of January as the band takes the show to the Middle East and South Asia with shows in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and India before heading to Australia for a series of shows in February and March. As it stands, the From Zero World Tour wraps up next summer with one final run through Europe! 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!

As fate would have it… if you’re going, I’ll see you there!
