Linkin Park, Download Festival
LIVE REVIEW: There’s a universe where Linkin Park’s last appearance at Donington Park is forever cemented as 2014.
The fact that the band are back in this legendary field is one thing, but it’s another for them to be doing it as part of a tour that continues to go from strength to emotional strength, carving out exhilarating new layers to their generational legacy.
Before they have even played a note, it feels like a privilege to see them closing out Download for another year. That only intensifies as ‘The Emptiness Machine’ opens proceedings and sends this jam-packed crowd into awe-stricken raptures.
Every corner of the band’s extraordinary journey is covered in gorgeous detail, from the luscious production of ‘The Catalyst’ and buoyant textures of ‘BURN IT DOWN’ to latest heavy hitters ‘Two Faced’ and ‘Up From The Bottom’, every note, melody and bar is delivered with a passion, prowess and pearly white smile from all on stage.
The connection that Mike Shinoda and Emily Armstrong have developed is undeniable, too, the latter delivering these timeless tracks with the sort of rawness and emotional respect that chokes you up, especially during a tear-stained ‘Waiting For The End’ and anthemic ‘Numb’.
And the hits keep on coming, too. ‘Papercut’, ‘Bleed It Out’, ‘What I’ve Done’, ‘Lying From You’. A truly inimitable discography, presented with razor-sharp and rallying intention.
It’s in these moments that it becomes even more abundantly clear than it already was how influential this band have been, and will continue to be within this wondrous community and beyond. To get to celebrate what has been, whilst looking forward with a gratitude and drive to keep these songs and stories alight, is something to be savoured.
The hardest part of ending is starting again, but, as ‘Faint’ closes out this utter spectacle, Linkin Park continue to show that, even when faced with oblivion, anything is truly possible.

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
Can confirm- the loudest for any player I’ve heard. I was there as a fan with my family and we all went NUTS showing our appreciation for this absolutely warrior of a player 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
CPD Felinfach are delighted to confirm that we have won promotion to the Mid Wales League South in Tier 4 of the Cymru football pyramid ahead of the 2026/27 season.
After a number stronger seasons in Tier 5, the club is very excited for new challenges. Another big milestone.
Summer activity so far in a nutshell:
- Cucu & Enzo both told the club they want out and agents working on moves as reported MONTHS ago, many others feel the same but may not push as much, if at all.
- Chelsea open to selling any player other than ‘untouchables’.
- MANY transfer targets have already been contacted, many have already rejected a move (still some hope on a few).
- Alonso getting a big say but also, many of the targets I’ve heard about were pre-Alonso targets.
- Chelsea will PR the shit out of it all this summer - ‘we were never even interested in that player’ etc, etc…
- Some accounts will back up the above point and continue to ride the BlueCo train.
- Going to be a long ride, I’m willing to wait it out and see what they do, but can’t say I’m overly confident at this moment. Alonso’s pull might help in some cases but I’m still not convinced. Let’s see how the summer goes.
