Linkin Park treated the fans who flocked to PHX Arena to set that offset highlights of their latest album with a hit-filled journey through their catalog when the From Zero World Tour hit downtown Phoenix on Saturday, Sept. 6.
It was the alt-rock legends’ first performance in the Valley since the death of Chester Bennington, the Phoenix-born singer who died by suicide in 2017.
Linkin Park returned to touring in 2024 with two new members — co-lead vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain — joining Mike Shinoda, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell and Joe Hahn.
The tour is in support of their first album since 2017, “From Zero,” which hit the Billboard album charts at No. 2 in mid-November 2024.
The setlist featured eight songs from that new release alongside hits as huge as “In the End,” “Numb,” “What I’ve Done” and “Faint.”
