Linkin Park Returns to Mexico at GNP Seguros Stadium with New Sound

Linkin Park recently performed at the GNP Seguros stadium in Mexico, demonstrating their ability to evolve and continue making music despite the challenges they have faced. For a band, losing a key member, especially the lead singer, can be a significant obstacle to overcome. However, Linkin Park has shown that they are one of the few success stories of bands that have been able to move forward after the departure of a crucial member.

With the tragic death of Chester Bennington in 2017, it was uncertain whether the remaining members, Mike Shinoda, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, and Brad Delson, would be able to continue making music together. After seven years of inactivity, they have returned to the music scene, and their recent concert in Mexico was a testament to their enduring talent and dedication to their craft.

The arrival of Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain has brought a refreshing energy to the band, and alongside Mike Shinoda, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, and Brad Delson, they have given fans around the world a reason to be excited about the future of Linkin Park. The band’s return to the stage and the studio is a welcome development, and their fans are eagerly anticipating what’s to come.

As evidenced by their recent concert, Linkin Park is still capable of delivering an epic performance, with a setlist that includes a mix of new and classic songs. The band played a range of hits, including “Somewhere I Belong,” “Crawling,” “New Divide,” and “Numb,” as well as some of their newer material.
