I don't hear anything that sounds remotely like booing in this.

Moved this to Live Talk because it's not really news. Best thing to do is wait, I guess. We shouldn't have to sell our organs for enough money to buy rehearsal footage. If we never get it, yeah, it's shame, but who knows what else may pop up in the future. This year alone we found two Xero tracks and a Mike Shinoda track we have never heard about, so there will definitely be more surprising things in the future.

This is dumb Nobody Can Save Me

We can see you've posted a submission. Stop reposting the same information again and again because we haven't gotten to it. Our lives aren't just LPLive. Stop acting like the world revolves around you and that your submissions anywhere or everywhere are of utmost importance. We will get to it eventually. Just be patient. EDIT: For everyone asking about the live sections, they will be updated after a bigger tour ends, so probably around the end of the current European Tour. Updating them day by day would be tedious and doesn't work out objectively.

Y'all voting for SFN are insane... I know Nick's reasonings are already corrupt Nobody Can Save Me.

How the fuck are y'all voting SFN, you're crazy Nobody Can Save Me

One More Light is officially out, Linkin Park has performed to hundreds of thousands at a short South American Tour in May, the band has done plenty of promo, and they've been rehearsing for about a week. And you better believe that we're only just warming up. Linkin Park is back and ready for action! The band is kicking off their massive One More Light European Tour on June 9 in Brétigny-sur-Orge, France for Download Paris. This'll be the first time the band headlines the new festival. We're all familiar with Linkin Park at England's Download festival - the site where in 2014 the band performed Hybrid Theory in full. This festival is taking place at the same time its UK counterpart is, which boasts System Of A Down, Biffy Clyro, and Aerosmith as headliners. Brétigny-sur-Orge is just south of Paris, a city that Linkin Park has treated very well over the years. Mike and Chester visited Paris earlier this year in March for some One More Light promo, where they performed a series of stripped-down tracks. They even played 'Battle Symphony' for the first time ever! The last full show the band performed was in November 2014 during The Hunting Party European Tour. A strong show indeed, the band performed plenty of fresh tracks from The Hunting Party like 'Guilty All The Same' and 'Final Masquerade' amongst others. The live debut of 'Battle Symphony' from earlier this year at the promo event in Paris. The band are playing it full ban now, so don't expect to hear this version! Paris has had some very epic moments that are hailed as legendary in the live community, though. This is the twelfth time the band is performing there, so it's no surprise that they've had some awesome shows there. The band's show in 2010 featured what is perhaps one of the most acclaimed moments in the band's live career: an impromptu performance of 'A Place For My Head' for the 10th anniversary of Hybrid Theory was played at this show. Not only was this the only full performance of the song on the A Thousand Suns touring cycle, but it was also a defining performance of the song. We like to use the term "exploded" to describe just how awesome some performances can be, but this performance pretty much defined that term. You don't see something as massive as this performance very often. Mike on the barrier with the crowd, Chester roaring the bridge, Brad's iconic riff sending chills down everyone's spine... it truly is a defining moment for the band's live career (which is also why we really need to see this song back in the set - and not as a bonus inclusion during the 'Castle Of Glass' Experience outro). Other cool moments from the past in Paris: the band played their very first show in Europe in 2001 in Paris and they added 'Step Up' into the set later that same year. In 2008, the band performed in Paris as well, bringing out 'A Place For My Head' and a rare performance of 'In Between.' Just. Disgusting. This mental performance of 'A Place For My Head' from Paris 2010 truly redefined what it means for this band to jam. From what we can tell, the band's legacy in Paris is going to continue at this show. More than half of One More Light has already been performed live at shows: 'Heavy,' 'Good Goodbye,' 'Battle Symphony,' 'Invisible,' 'Talking To Myself,' and 'One More Light.' On top of that, it looks like the band is adding another new song to the setlist! Chester has all but confirmed that 'Sharp Edges' has at least been rehearsed, after correcting the official Linkin Park Twitter on what song he was playing in this picture (turns out he'll be playing guitar on 'Sharp Edges'). Additionally, it looks like another new song is coming to the set, though we're less certain about which song this'll be. Mike posted on Instagram that he is rehearsing a new song that has him playing the keyboard while singing live, something which he didn't do in the studio. There's not much place for keys on 'Sharp Edges,' so its definitely possible it's a completely different song. Based on the picture, we guessed he was playing 'Sorry For Now...' but he ended up shutting that down by downright commenting it's not that song. The photo isn't guaranteed to be a photo of him playing the song (it's most likely him playing 'Heavy'), so we've pretty much gathered all we can about that. This is a mystery we might not be solving until show time. Or not. With all the new songs and the amount of rehearsing the band has done, distinct rotating sets might be making a comeback. There will definitely be a "Festival" set and a "Headline" set, just like there was in South America earlier this year (the "Festival" version of the set was shorter, omitting 'Waiting For The End,' 'Invisible,' and 'One More Light,' and also featured an intro of 'Fallout' into 'The Catalyst' rather than 'Fallout' and 'Talking To Myself,' which is what opens the headline set), but it's becoming more and more likely that there will be two different setlists. This was the case in 2012 - the festival set was much different for the European Summer Tour that year, opening with 'A Place For My Head' and featured 'From The Inside,' while the headlining set featured 'Blackout' and an opening of 'Tinfoil' followed by 'Faint,' among other differences. With the sheer amount of songs the band seem to be performing this cycle from the new album alone, rotating setlists might be a key to keeping shows interesting every night and playing as much as the album as they can live (which has evidently been a problem for past records). Of course, if the band doesn't change up the setlists, we don't have many complaints - they have a pretty great one already built, and it's still pretty fresh. The high-energy opening may seem like a bit of a clusterfuck, with 'The Catalyst,' 'Wastelands,' 'Talking To Myself,' and 'Burn It Down' all featuring as the first few songs in some order, but it really gets the energy going. Other treats (in the headline set, at least) include the brand new intro to 'Waiting For The End' which features a mashup of 'Remember The Name' and elements from the song, the powerful slow section with the stripped down 'Crawling' and the beautiful 'One More Light' (which hasn't left a dry eye in the room ever since the performance dedicated to Chris Cornell at Jimmy Kimmel Live). And no one has ever complained about what is arguably the centerpiece of the entire set: the new live version of 'Leave Out All The Rest.' Talk about epic. No matter how many times you watch this performance of 'One More Light,' your bound to feel at least a little emotional. The band really set a new standard for emotion here. If you're in France and catch the show, don't fret - the band will be back sooner than later. Sooner than you think, in fact; the band headlines the Hellfest in Clisson on the 18th - the first time the band has performed two shows in France since 2008. Tickets might still be hard to come by even then, but you can definitely be sure the band will come back to Paris again before long. Perhaps not in 2017, but maybe the band will hit up Europe again in 2018. They seem eager to be back on the road after being pent up in the studio for so long; this tour is one of the longest tours the band has done in Europe in years (it matches the length of the Minutes To Midnight Summer European Tour in 2008, which held the record until now). A massive North American Tour is coming this summer, with Asia coming into play in November (though as things draw nearer... where are more dates? Only three shows in Japan have been announced thus far). There's already some stuff going on in France that'll be fun. Mike and Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 did a keynote address at the midem music conference in Cannes today, talking about new music and even making a beat. You can check that out here - the music making happens around the four minute mark, but don't miss the fun discussions they have during the event. Blink-182 is performing at the festival before Linkin Park, so maybe we'll see this performed live! Kidding. Maybe. You never know with Mike Shinoda in charge, this man had the idea to mashup 'Fallout' and 'Roads Untraveled' as an intro this year. He can do anything. Blink-182 has been touring extensively for the past year in support of their newest record California, which came out last July. They just released the deluxe edition of the album, featuring 10 new tracks. They're starting their new European leg at this show too, so we're not 100% sure what they'll play, but recent setlists show that classics like 'All The Small Things' and 'I Miss You' will likely be in the mix. Linkin Park and Blink-182 are playing two shows together this summer in Hershey, Pennsylvania and Flushing, New York as part of their "Welcome To Blinkin Park" events - let's hope this is just a welcoming, and that more is to come! Also performing are Pierce The Veil and Norwegian heavy metalers Kvelertak. Watch Blink-182's Travis Barker duke it out on the drums during 'Bleed It Out' with the band during the 2014 Concert For The Philippines show. Will we see more collaborations happen between the bands soon? Who's going to the show? Unfortunately there will not be a livestream, but we will keep you updated on the setlist and potential Periscope streams on our social media - be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for updates. We're also on Snapchat now, so add us there for treats. After this show, the band heads to the Czech Republic for their first show there since 2008 for the Aerodrome Festival on the 11th before playing a headlining show at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin on the 12th. Check out the rest of Linkin Park's 2017 touring schedule here.

Nobody Can Save Me

Battle Symphony

If you guys want to have an LPLive groupchat on Snapchat, send me your Snapchat name. If enough people want in I'll make it.

A bit of a different post, but times are changing, and we gotta keep up with them. We're now on Snapchat! We'll be updating it with fun stuff from time to time, and we even have some cool ideas that'll give YOU the chance to take it over! Our Snapchat is lplive - you can add us by taking a Snapchat picture of this image or adding us by username. For now, we'll keep things simple by posting updates on occasion when there's a show or when some big news is up, but we'll be working things out for shows in the future. Mark (Hahninator) recently took over the Muse Fans USA Snapchat and posted videos from the Muse shows he went to in Florida and Nashville... if that sounds like something you guys think would be cool, let us know! Maybe you can take it over for an upcoming show. Be sure to add Linkin Park on Snapchat too! Their Snapchat is linkinparklive (stepping on our parade a little bit there, hmm?). Also follow our other social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook, as well.

Battle Symphony

Making a Good Goodbye pun is too easy, so I won't this time.

This is gonna be a hard one, since I love every track on the album. Halfway Right doesn't win, but it'll lose. that was bad.

Bump: Chester will be on the live recordings of 'Palm Springs Reset' and 'I'll Try Not To Destroy You' on the third CD. Source: http://linkinparkbr.com/noticias/2017/06/02/chester-estara-presente-no-novo-lancamento-do-julien-k/

I thought the capo'd acoustic would be him just messing around with Talking To Myself. Didn't think Sharp Edges would need a capo (I know it can be, but I figured they wouldn't go through with that). Chester was using an acoustic for Battle Symphony at rehearsals awhile ago and obviously he is using an electric guitar for that, but you know... just practicing. That's the whole debate we're having about the "new" song, because we all know what happened in 2015 with War. I'm still almost inclined to believe it is SFN, though it could easily be a stripped down song or simply something from the last few records they haven't played yet (though RU is the only song that realistically would make sense in the context of OML). We'll see and find out. I wouldn't be surprised if Mike was talking about his experience rehearsing Heavy over the past few months (though I guess he was playing it and singing along in the first clips we heard of the song, so maybe not?). We just need to wait a week I guess.

We've analyzed the chords Mike was playing because we're goddamn insane, and we've deduced he's playing either Heavy, Sorry For Now, RU, or SOTD (assuming there's no chord change - NRL would have to be transposed up for the chords to make sense though)

According to Mike, another new song is coming to the setlist! Mike posted this photo on Instagram, with the caption: "Playing and singing a new one. This one is kinda challenging; I didn't play and sing the parts at the same time in the studio. Have to practice it over and over until muscle memory takes over ha" The most likely song that this could be is 'Sorry For Now.' This means we'll be seeing a lot of singing duty from Mike on the setlists - 'Castle Of Glass,' 'Invisible,' and the intro to the new 'Leave Out All The Rest.' This could alternatively be a new stripped-down song (because we know the disconnect between "new song" the band has hit us with after the 'War' and 'A Place For My Head' conundrum in 2015), but signs point to 'Sorry For Now.' What do you think? Additionally, will this mean we see a brand new set debut? Different, rotating sets might be making a comeback - we'll have to see. We'll have a real answer when the One More Light European Tour starts in one week at Download Paris. Are you excited to see the song performed live? With 'Sorry For Now' in the mix, that leaves three songs left from the album to see a live debut: 'Nobody Can Save Me,' 'Halfway Right,' and 'Sharp Edges,' none of which seem too difficult to bring to a live setting. Hopefully the entire album is performed by the end of the cycle! For updates, follow us on Twitter and like our Facebook page! EDIT: We've been bamboozled. Mike has confirmed it's not 'Sorry For Now' he's rehearsing. Shinoda has thrown us for a curve once again. EDIT: In a tweet this morning, Chester confirmed that he was playing Sharp Edges on guitar, meaning that is likely the song Mike was talking about! That leaves us with 'Nobody Can Save Me', 'Sorry For Now', and 'Halfway Right' waiting to make their way to stage. See the rest of Linkin Park's 2017 touring schedule here.

From what we can tell, Mike is playing Heavy there (based on the chords). And regardless of if that IS 'Heavy' or not, it's still pretty likely that they played the song anyway.

Updating the list of rehearsals on this thread, so if you have any info on others, post them here: http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=10079

Bumping this now that we're looking at listing rehearsals. Feel free to add anything you find.

Linkin Park has just announced that they will play London's intimate Brixton Academy on July 4th. This comes as a surprise as they have always done back-to-back arena shows in London since 2008 and they are playing the O2 Arena the day before on July 3rd. LP has played Brixton twice before. In 2001, on the US-to-Europe Tour which was planned to be four shows but later extended to five when Linkin Park filled in for Slipknot at Rock im Park, they headlined Brixton Academy to close out the tour. This was a really unique show as Chester debuted his infamous "Morning After" solo song that would end up being released as a bonus track for Dead By Sunrises' Out Of Ashes much later in 2009. As far as we know, it was played just in London at this show and in Berlin on September 12th before it came back in 2005 for the Bucket of Weenies shows. Check out the show notes on that page, they're pretty cool. The reported setlist for that 2001 show is really unique. A Place For My Head opening, High Voltage, And One, and more in the set... When Download 2014 was announced, we realized that all of Hybrid Theory was played at this show - the only time we know of *ever* until Download 2014. Of course Download is the only time it has been played start-to-finish, but Brixton 2001 seems to be the only time that we've found at least where every song on it was played at one show. And in 2003, Linkin Park played Brixton Academy on the LPU Tour. This will be their third show at the venue. And this is the first club show at all in the UK since Astoria 2007, although iTunes Festival 2011 was pretty intimate. LPU gets presale access and tickets go on sale on Tuesday, May 30 at 1PM BST - three hours! If you pre-ordered One More Light, another pre-sale wil be help at 4PM BST. The general sale is Friday, June 2 at 9AM BST. Who is going?

Times have changed. THP was considered a "commercial failure" because streaming wasn't a part of the equation yet. Streaming has a lot of power now (the formula, I believe is physical sales + entire digital albums + the total plays from the 12 most popular track from the album divided by 1000). I don't think debuting at #3 even without the proper pushes from a record label qualifies as a commercial failure, either. THP probably would've had better numbers if this system was introduced then.

OML is #1 on Billboard 200, selling 111k (1k more than THP). http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7809623/linkin-park-billboard-200-chart-one-more-light
