05.30.2012 - Skive, Denmark - Skive Festival

Linkin Park will be playing in Skive, Denmark today for their third show of their international Summer Festival Tour. The band will be playing the Skive Beach Party Festival for the second time in their career, the first being June 5th, 2008. This marks the fourth time Linkin Park have played Denmark in total, with their last performance being October 30th, 2010 in Herning, Denmark.

The band are coming off festival shows at Rock in Rio in Portugal and Pinkpop in Holland. Both shows saw Linkin Park play the same energetic setlist that includes a lot of classic Hybrid Theory tracks and a good balance of other material. It seems to be one of the most interesting and best live setlists the band have ever played with it receiving a lot of praise in the LPA community. The only comments people seem to be making is the lack of A Thousand Suns songs in the set, when only The Catalyst, Waiting For The End and Iridescent in medley form are included. This isn't a surprise within the festival setting though, as their aim is to keep up the energy as much as possible with the festival crowd who are no doubt more familiar with the band's earlier work and hits. It will be interesting to see if Blackout is played at some point, as this was included at the West Hollywood, CA show at the House of Blues, but songs such as Wretches and Kings, When They Come For Me and The Messenger remains to be seen.

Unfortunately Pinkpop Festival wasn't live streamed like Rock in Rio was, however a number of pro-shot videos have been aired including In The End, What I've Done and Bleed It Out (Sabotage) which you can watch below.

Once the band have played Skive tonight, they will have a day off before playing Nürburg, Germany for the famous Rock am Ring 2012 on June 1st. Also, remember Joe Hahn will be live chatting with the LPU from Skive today at 12:15PM PDT.
