I might've missed the due date on this one, but the night has only just begun! Linkin Park will be wrapping up the second North American leg of the From Zero World Tour TONIGHT in Seattle, Washington in the city's new arena, the Climate Pledge Arena! This will be Linkin Park's twelfth show in the area and first in Seattle itself since 2003 - so we have a lot to catch up on. This will be their first show in the area since 2014, when they performed at the gorgeous Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington on the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars. This setlist were the first to see the band experiment with "acts," which they have since refined and adapted to the current tour! New songs like 'Rebellion,' 'Guilty All The Same,' and 'Final Masquerade' came out with guns blazing while the band took their set through emotional highs and lows. Prior to this, the band played in the city of Tacoma south of Seattle back in 2012 on the Honda Civic Tour with Incubus, delivering a rare Set C that saw them open with 'With You' featuring the Game Of Thrones theme over the extended intro, as well as other treats like 'In My Remains' and 'Victimized (w/ QWERTY).' Jumping back five years, Linkin Park played their first show of Projekt Revolution 2007 in nearby Auburn, the first show on the first tour in the band's history to feature rotating setlists! The debut of Set C saw the band open with their go-to at the time, 'One Step Closer' with the Gunshot Intro into 'Lying From You' and 'Somewhere I Belong.' 'Wake' and 'Shadow Of The Day' got their live debuts at this show, while 'No More Sorrow,' 'Bleed It Out,' and 'The Little Things Give You Away' received new extensions. This was also the first show of the DSP Program - full recordings of almost every show between July 2007 and November 2012 were released for purchase after the shows! Linkin Park's full show at the Sleep Train Amphitheater in Auburn, Washington on July 25, 2007. This was the first Projekt Revolution show in three years, and the very first DSP to ever be released! This one features a particularly raw mix compared to others. The band's last visit in Washington was in 2004 on the Winter North American Tour, their first headlining show at the Tacoma Dome. This epic setlist featured a bunch of songs we'd die to see today, including full performances of 'It's Goin' Down,' 'Nobody's Listening,' and 'P5hng Me A*wy.' The band's last time in Seattle proper was just two months before this show in December 2003, the second-to-last show of the year where they headlined The End's Deck The Hall Ball - a shorter set than what they played a few months later with roughly all the same songs, but Seattle did get to witness some special moments, including Davey Havok from AFI (who opened for the band earlier this year in Mexico!) joining them for 'One Step Closer' at the end of the set! Linkin Park hit Seattle earlier in the year on the Summer Sanitarium tour, opening for Metallica at the Seahawks Stadium. The set was the same as the legendary Live In Texas DVD, with epic moments like 'By Myself' with its 2003 intro, 'Figure.09,' 'From The Inside,' and more! Linkin Park played in Seattle a whopping six times, the last of which was their first performance at The End's Deck The Hall Ball in December 2001 - we don't know much about this show, but we do know that the band played a short cover of Guns N' Roses' 'Sweet Child O' Mine' and that Aaron Lewis from Staind came out to sing on 'One Step Closer!' Just a month earlier, the band played their first ever show at the Tacoma Dome for the closing night of the Family Values Tour, featuring an awesome set with treats like DJ Lethal of Limp Bizkit guesting on 'Step Up' and Linkin Park (and the rest of the bands on the tour) coming out onstage during Stone Temple Pilots' set for 'Sex Type Thing,' and Chester came out to sing 'Dead & Bloated' with them as well. The band played a prank on the band Deadsy at this show too, playing golf on their stage during their show. The Ozzfest that summer brought the band to the Gorge Amphitheater for the first time, with the band opening with the epic combo of 'With You' and 'Runaway' before diving into the hits like 'Papercut' and 'Crawling.' The band kicked off their very first headlining tour ever - the Street Soldiers Tour - in January 2001 in Seattle, a show that featured the live debuts of 'Crawling,' 'Pushing Me Away,' and 'High Voltage.' 'Crawling' technically got its debut earlier in the day at a radio event with fans - The End's Endsession. We don't have the setlist or much info at all on Linkin Park's very first show in Seattle, which took place on the Kottonmouth Kings' Ridin' High Tour, but we do know it was a very special day in Linkin Park history. Their set in Seattle took place on October 24, 2000 - the release date of Hybrid Theory! Having finished his tour with The Snax, Phoenix reunited with the band in Seattle (though he didn't start playing with them until the next tour) so that they could celebrate the release of their album together and hopefully be the first to buy it at the a record store - Phoenix is quoted saying he hoped they'd sell around 3,000 copies. Little did they know at the time that a record that would change music history itself had just come out - and the rest is history. In some ways, it all really began for this band that day in Seattle, and that brings us all the way to today, where history is bound to continue to be made! Linkin Park performing at The End's Endsession on January 16, 2001 - this short radio set for fans features the live debut of 'Crawling!' The last run of North American shows on the From Zero World Tour has definitely kept us on the edge of our seats (and for us east-coast based staff members, away from our beds), and that was no different at the last stop in Vancouver, British Columbia! The band's final stop in Canada for the year brought all the stops, with 'Crawling,' 'Lying From You,' and 'New Divide' making their way into Act I. 'Up From The Bottom' resumed its regular spot in Act II before 'Lies Greed Misery' made another appearance, while 'IGYEIH' and a verse of 'Lift Off' during 'When They Come For Me/Remember The Name' rounded up the act. 'Stained' was played in Act III for a second show in a row, before Emily and Mike noticed someone dressed in a full dog suit in the crowd before 'Numb' and things really went off the rails, from Emily barking at the crowd to the band playing a Johnny Cash-inspired 'Numb/Encore' intro, tying it all up with a country jam outro (that ended up as a punk jam) that concluded with Emily once again barking. The band seems to be having more fun than ever at these last shows with both the crowd and the setlists, rounding up the surprises for the night with 'Over Each Other' in Act IV. There is really no telling what the band will whip out for the final show of this run tonight, but we can say that they have a great track record with tour-closers: Welcome To Rockville (which closed the first leg of the North American dates earlier this year) saw a surprise 'A Place For My Head' and the live debut of 'Let You Fade,' while the European Tour finale in Paris, France saw the band really experiment with the set. Seattle is queued up for Set A tonight, which was last played in Sacramento, California and featured the following rotations: 'Lying From You,' 'Up From The Bottom,' and 'New Divide' in Act I, 'Stained,' 'Lies Greed Misery,' and 'Casualty' in Act II, 'Over Each Other' in Act III, 'A Place For My Head' in Act IV, and an 'In The End'/'Faint' closer. The ending of 'Numb' from the band's show at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia on September 21, 2025, featuring the conclusion to what we can call the "barking incident." Who's going to the show? JPEGMAFIA will be opening this final show on the leg, and his indie hip-hop hits like 'Lean Beef Patty' and 'SCARING THE HOES' will definitely get the night off to an energetic start - and we're still holding out hope that he'll come out to guest for a song with the band tonight! Weatherman Rogue Soul here to report a beautiful Pacific Northwest day for the final night of the North American Tour, with the high of 71°F now starting dropping down to the low of 53°F - be sure to bundle up for later in the night and be ready to jam! If my ex is there, I can only apologize. This cannot be predicted in my forecast. Linkin Park will have the next month off before resuming the From Zero World Tour for its first proper leg in South America in late October and early November, hitting stops in Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina! The year will wrap up with one final show in Mexico, where the band will headline the Corona Capital festival in mid-November. 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)!

A few new interviews have popped up over the last week, one being one of the first with Alex Feder by Andertons Music Co., finally getting some insight to his playing and how he geared up for the touring guitarist position, as well as some backstory on him: And another with Mike Shinoda with Czech media that just had its English translation released, which is actually pretty cool and dives into Mike's own history as well as his music. That one can be viewed on their website here. Additionally, over the past few weeks, Adamson System Engineering have been doing quick videos introducing some key players in the crew behind the From Zero World Tour to their channel - if you want some insight to what goes on behind the scenes on tour work-wise, check these out!

We're a little late to the party today, but luckily things are only getting started! Linkin Park brings the From Zero World Tour back to Canada for one more show on the west coast, this time returning to Vancouver, British Columbia for the first time since 2012 for a show at the Rogers Arena tonight, September 21, 2025! This will be Linkin Park's fourth show in the city of Vancouver, and their first in thirteen years! The band last performed in the city in 2012 on an off-date during the Honda Civic Tour with Incubus (apparently Honda simply doesn't bring the Civic Tour to Canada) for the first show ever at tonight's venue, delivering Set A which opened with 'Tinfoil' into 'Faint.' Lots of rare Living Things tracks were performed, including 'In My Remains' and 'Victimized (w/ QWERTY),' as well as more familiar hits like 'Lost In The Echo' and 'Burn It Down' still fresh off the presses. Other memorable moments include the extended intros and outros the band added to many songs, including the Wall Of Noise Outro and Apaches Intro with a verse of 'Until It Breaks' for 'Waiting For The End' and the extended intro for 'Lost In The Echo' that featured sounds from the LPU-released demo 'Holding Company.' Mike Einziger from Incubus also came out to play guitar at the end of the show during 'Bleed It Out,' after the band jammed to 'Sabotage' by the Beastie Boys. Prior to this, Linkin Park last played in Vancouver in February 2004 on the Meteora Winter North American Tour, which is another setlist we didn't have any information for until I stumbled across one about five minutes ago while comparing our notes to setlist.fm. According to an attendee of the show, it looks like Vancouver saw a pretty typical setlist from this time, barring 'P5hng Me A*wy' in the encore which seems to have been dropped for an unknown reason. This was Linkin Park's last show in Canada of the Meteora World Tour, and similarly to the From Zero World Tour also saw stops in Montréal and Toronto. The setlist at this time was packed full of goods even despite the one dropped song, with Vancouver seeing the likes of 'It's Goin' Down' and 'Nobody's Listening' in full, as well as a killer opening of the iconic 'With You' and 'Runaway' combo, and an encore opener of 'My December' to top things all off. Funny enough, this is the fourth setlist I've added to our live guide in the last run of shows the band has done after just comparing notes and asking you guys who had been to some of the older shows. If you have any info on any of the old shows we don't have much information on in our live guide, send any staff a message or fill out the contact form on Linkinpedia! For those who want to stay up to date, the new additions to the live guide this past week include: Sacramento 2001, San Jose 2004, North Little Rock 2004 (thanks to LPLive member rav0k), and now Vancouver 2004! Three shows from this one 2004 tour alone so far - if anyone's got anything else, let us know! This includes Linkin Park's very first show in the city back in November 2001 at The Orpheum, right before the Countdown To Revolution Tour. What we do know about this show is that according to a tour itinerary that was discovered, we found out that the tour production rehearsals began in Kansas City the next week, leaving this show and one in Bakersfield, California as one-offs before the real tour began. Linkin Park opening their show at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia on September 4, 2012 with 'Tinfoil' and 'Faint.' Linkin Park's last show on the From Zero World Tour took place in Portland, Oregon, their first show in the city since 2004! They returned in a big way, performing one of our favorite versions of the current setlist we've seen the whole tour so far! Whipping out and modifying Set B, the band immediately started making changes to the set from its last performance, with 'Points Of Authority,' 'Up From The Bottom,' and 'Crawling' rotating into Act I before 'The Emptiness Machine,' preceded by 'From Zero (Intro),' ended the first part of the show. Act II followed suit with 'Unshatter' moving down to an earlier spot for the first time, before Mike showed some love to The Hunting Party (for once!) with the second appearance on tour of the first verse of 'Wastelands,' followed quickly by a full 'Keys To The Kingdom,' being performed for the first time since the second night in Montréal earlier on the tour! 'Stained' returned to its old spot in the ballad rotation in Act III, before 'Let You Fade' also made its return to the set (after having not been performed since Denver, Colorado at the start of the month), leading to a huge new feat: the band performed all three bonus tracks from From Zero in one set! On top of all of these treats, the band was having a lot of fun with this show, constantly referring to some fans dressed up as bananas throughout the show and really taking some jams to another level, with both Disco and Punk styles coming out for the end of 'Numb' and Emily singing the whole bridge of 'In The End' for the first time! Mike even showed off his classical piano training by playing 'Für Elise' over the intro of 'Overflow' for the first time! With such a huge comeback in Oregon, we're sure the band's return to Vancouver will be just as huge. Vancouver is lined up for Set C ('Burn It Down' theme), but with how much the band has been changing things up lately, we're not sure how much that really means beyond the interlude lyrics! What we can report is that Set C was last played in San Jose, California last week, and featured the following rotations: 'Points Of Authority,' 'Stained,' and 'New Divide' in Act I, 'Castle Of Glass' and 'IGYEIH' in Act II, 'Unshatter' in Act III, and 'Good Things Go' in Act IV. We're sure the band will change some things up for this show from the last Set C, and we'll keep you posted on everything that does happen at the show! Linkin Park's full show at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon on September 19, 2025. If you missed the live coverage of this set, definitely check this show out as it was some of the most fun the band has had on tour yet, and had one of the best setlists of the whole year! Who's going? JPEGMAFIA will be opening the show with his indie hip-hop blend, featuring hits like 'Lean Beef Patty' and 'Sacring The Hose' warming the crowd up. Don't miss his set if you can make it early - with time running out, we're hoping to see an onstage collaboration during Linkin Park's set, too, to follow through with the rest of the openers on this North American leg. Weatherman Rogue Soul reporting a pretty but cool day up in the Pacific Northwest, with the high of 16°C now dropping to the low of 12°C at night, so be sure to be bundled up for later in the night! Linkin Park has one final show of their North American run this year on Wednesday, where they will wrap the leg up in Seattle, Washington before having a month off. The tour resumes at the end of October with one final leg of the year in South America, with stops in Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and more!

pretty sure Foreward IS in the Inception Intro lol

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

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

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

it finally happened!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

it worked 🥲 looks like i'lll be seeing some of y'all in the homelands!

Following the announcement of their performance at Lollapalooza India next year last night, Linkin Park have announced two more tour dates in the Middle East - their first show ever in Bahrain and their first show in the United Arab Emirates since 2010! 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. 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'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.
