Overview
- Emily Armstrong’s Frankfurt Waldstadion debut demonstrated her commanding vocal range, shifting seamlessly from crisp melodies to powerful screams.
- The nearly two-hour set traversed almost three decades of the band’s catalog by merging early nu-metal anthems and later pop-oriented tracks with fresh From Zero songs.
- Audience participation peaked on new singles like “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy Is the Crown,” which were sung nearly as loudly as staples such as “In the End.”
- All five German tour dates sold out within minutes, and upcoming shows in Hamburg, Munich and major European festivals have seen equally rapid ticket sales.
- Mike Shinoda engaged fans with German-language greetings, onstage interactions and collaborative performances that reinforced Linkin Park’s cohesive new era alongside Armstrong.
