Linkin Park concludes their From Zero World Tour today in Zurich, Switzerland for the 100th full show of the From Zero era. The whirlwind tour kicked off with a total surprise comeback on September 5th, 2024 in Los Angeles, debuting a new lineup, new music, and a tour.
Since then, 15 new cities have been played by Linkin Park on this world tour for the very first time - Bogota, Riyadh, Guadalajara, Greenville, Daytona Beach, Hradec Králové, Arnhem, Gdynia, Curitiba, Sakhir, Benagluru, Mumbai, Lyon, Santiado de Compostela, and Florence. 4 new countries were played: Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and India.
Old songs were brought back, new songs were debuted, attendance records were shattered, and much, much more. It has been an amazing whirlwind of a world tour and we're happy to celebrate the entire thing with the final show in Zurich.
We’ll kick it over to @JonDBarker, who is on the ground in Switzerland for the final show, with a word of gratitude for the band, their crew, and the fans as we wrap this era up:
“Now here we go for the hundredth time.
Zurich, Switzerland. The 100th and final destination of the From Zero Tour. No more talk about which leg is next, we just keep moving one foot in front of the other as we march to the beat that they’re drumming, our hands held high as for one last night in 2026, our favourite band plays our favourite songs and sends us home hungrier than ever.
When the initial murmurs of a new singer began, and the troops began to rally. When the excitement became electric and the anticipation left us sleepless for days in the lead up.
When they stepped onto the stage in a darkened warehouse, on a space deep in the center of the pit. When Mike smiled. When he said “It’s good to see you again.”
When all of these things began, I felt awoken once more. Like a sleeping giant, dormant as many volcanoes tend to rest, tremoring with excitement. Afraid of what would happen when it bubbles over. The tantamount excitement ready to burst, but apprehensive that this might just be a one time thing from a group who missed that feeling of taking the stage again. Imagine it was just that show.
Since then we’ve had 99 setlists and the gigs ain’t done (hit me!)
The utter joy that the shows have brought us is indescribable. The opportunities and experiences, the friendships made, the conversations had, the places we’ve visited…
Over the last two years, I (Jon) photographed Hamburg and Paris in 2024, attending shows in London, Germany, France and at the time of writing, I am heading to Switzerland also. Mark was at the comeback show, and we stood shoulder to shoulder across Europe. Dylan visited India as well as Austria, Germany and England… I could go on but you get the picture.
There’s a lot more to come from us, and we’ve had great events we attended in Zurich and even moments at home on the European Tour. The Rock am Ring show on a personal level was incredibly important to me. I worked my ass off that night at home, clipping, distributing to socials for people, live tweeting and chaotically running a million miles a second. I got to enjoy it and be excited about so much of it, but I wasn’t able to be as present as I’d like, and more so, I was alone. Now I was able to be in a cinema, sat with some of the best people I have ever met, crying through the Unshatter movie premiere.
Even more important to me, on a personal level, is the Creation event, where a small number of fans got to meet the crew responsible for all the shows. The unsung hero. We say It Takes a Village and there’ll be more on that once tour concludes.
So here we go, for the hundredth time. The final masquerade. A chance to leave it all in the pit. In the stands. In the technical departments. A chance to say thank you for coming back. For coming home. For lighting the beacons for many to find hope and a place to head towards. A northern compass point to align by. I’m not ready to say goodbye, so you better sort out another show soon.
Enjoy the rest, as will we. The time off to recharge and come back better. It’s been an honour to serve you all and share so many perspectives of shows and we can’t wait to do it more but we’ll appreciate the rest. That goes for the band, for the sound and lighting teams. For the management, those building stages, tailoring fashion and much more. Those doing the longest days. Thank you for what you do to bring this experience for us all. Here’s to another 100.”
@B24PT Não faria muito sentido, há carros que são melhores em certas pistas do que outros, mesmo com as diferenças de setups que podem fazer antes da corrida, quem tem um carro com muito boa velocidade em curvas em Jeddah teria mais vantagem do que quem tenha esse carro em Imola, por ex
@ivanyamil387@GolDeGodin_ Even if they win 50-0 they'll finish 4th, first criteria is H2H, and they lost both against Paraguay and Australia so they can only draw in points with them and finish behind
@joaosants97@B24PT Claro, mas como podes ver acaba sempre por haver carros com vantagens em certas situações, a culpa "não é" do construtor, não acabaria com a parte da vantagem na mesma
@Utdbeni PSG is now good because they got rid of the big egos and you want Portugal to win a World Cup with the biggest ego there is playing in front? He was amazing, the best Portuguese player ever, but is time to take a lesser role like playing 60' or coming of the bench. Neves is right
Enquanto os jogadores levam com tudo nas redes sociais, um capitão a sério dava a cara. Ia à CI, defendia o balneário e acabava com a novela.
Mas o capitão da Seleção prefere o silêncio, enquanto familiares atacam jogadores e portugueses.
E é a última vez que falo disto. Porque já chega. O melhor jogador português da história está a ter um fim de carreira miserável.
Dentro de campo foi um fenómeno.
Como líder, falhou redondamente.
