Linkin Park Thrills L.A. Forum Crowd With New Singer in First Full Show Since 2017: See the 27-Song Setlist
See the 27-song setlist for Linkin Park's concert at the Forum, their first since the death of Chester Bennington and introduction of a new singer.
The reconstituted band, with Emily Armstrong stepping in to a lead singer role, played its first full performance since the death of former frontman Chester Bennington on Wednesday night at L.A.’s Kia Forum. And if there was any thought that the very short international tour the group is embarking on would just be a repeat of the abbreviated livestream set they did to announce the new lineup last week, that was put to rest with a packed 27-song show that came in at just a hair over two hours. No newly written material was debuted, with the only freshly minted song being the new single “The Emptiness Machine,” which was already heard in the webcast and has received a good reception as the only teaser so far for the band’s forthcoming comeback album, “From Zero.” But co-frontperson Mike Shinoda made promises about how much fans will like it when they hear it Nov. 15.
