Columbus, Ohio ... we love your weather.

For the ninth time since 2000 Linkin Park comes to Columbus, OH. The band spent a lot of time in town early in their career, playing one show in 2000, three shows in 2001, a single show in 2003 and then two shows in 2004. The last performance they had in town was in 2008, a show notorious for being one of the rare few where Chester managed to pull off the full 17 seconds scream in the Given Up bridge. Video of that below. It's also notorious for being a show where Breaking The Habit did not have an extended intro or outro.

​

At their latest performance, Linkin Park played a new playlist. While it brought back the full versions of Papercut and New Divide, they dropped almost all of the songs from The Hunting Party, leaving only Wastelands. Oh and that song they debuted... A LINE IN THE -FRIKKING- SAND. Yes, the band didn't tease us for nothing.. this time, they actually played one of the most requested songs from the new album. And while that is great, they did some other special things during the show as well. As previously mentioned they brought back the full version of Papercut, and they also added an extended intro to it for opening the show. Austin Carlile joined the band on Faint and Aaron Pauley came out and sang on the Iridescent portion of the Ballad Medley. While the band seemed to expect a drum solo during Bleed It Out, Rob apparently decided no in the last second, leading the band to improvise a sing along and skip out on the usual The Catalyst verse. As for the video today, I think you know what it will be, it can only be one ... A Line In The Sand live debut ofcourse.

​

So for this show, it's expected that Linkin Park play a longer version of the setlist the played at the previous show, with the highest expectation that more songs from The Hunting Party will come back into the set. The show will be broadcasted on AXS TV, so if the band decides to play a longer set we will hopefully get some nice recordings. We don't know the exact details about what exactly will be broadcast yet, so we will update this with more details when they become available.

Broadcast details:
