Opening their remaining tour dates for 2015, Linkin Park will head to Las Vegas to play the first USA edition of Rock in Rio. The band has played both in Las Vegas and at Rock in Rio many times before, they played the 2014 Rock in Rio and their latest performance in Vegas was back in the start of 2014. That performance is notable for being the only show in 2014 to have Empty Spaces and When They Come For Me performed live in their original forms. You can watch the performance of When They Come For Me here below: [video=youtube;-FNkIGqcEdM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FNkIGqcEdM[/video] BRING IT BACK! ..please? As you all know Linkin Park had started their North American winter tour earlier this year ..but accidents happen. We now know that Chester broke his ankle when playing basketball, he was jumping to make a shot and landed on a water bottle. The accident was documented in this LPTV episode. This caused Chester to perform that nights show on a scooter and then sadly having to cancel the remaining dates of the tour. As for the show itself, it went off pretty well. Guests at this show included Aaron Pauley on the Iridescent section of the Ballad Medley, Austin Carlile on Faint and Tim McIllrath on Bleed It Out. Check out One Step Closer from the show here below: [video=youtube;Hiobrd5lA6Q]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hiobrd5lA6Q[/video] Yes I might have just copy+pasted that from this other post. So sue me. With this being the start of a new period of touring for the band the chance of a new setlist is high, and I think we call all agree that we would be in favour of seeing more songs from The Hunting Party be performed. The show will be livestreamed, so we can all see exactly what the band does with the setlist and the show. Sadly, this will be a shorter show for the band, being planned to only go on for 75 minutes. Livestream Details Yahoo Webcast 9:30PM PDT | 05:30AM BST Countdown To The Show UPDATE: Rock In Rio has tweeted out Linkin Park's setlist for tonight and it looks like the band will be debuting A Line In The Sand Live while Guilty All The Same is missing!

I can't really see them doing a whole new setlist, but hopefully they'll slip the new song in. (In before the new song they've been rehearsing is Darker Than Blood )
I SHOULD BE GOING TOMORROW. But money is terrible. I'll just camp outside the venue and listen to LP from a distance.
They must to play KTTK, AFN, WAR and ALITS. Ahhh and the other songs of Living Things that they never played before (Ill be gone, Powerless, etc)
Gotta remember they are playing festival shows on this "tour." Festival set times are drastically reduced to fit in all of the bands playing the fests.
