On the heels of Linkin Park’s triumphant return to Bogotá, they head south along the Andes to make a stop in Lima, Peru! While Colombia last saw the band just a year ago during the initial arena leg of the From Zero World Tour, Lima and Peru as a whole have not gotten a visit from Linkin Park since the One More Light World Tour, making this a very welcome return for Peruvian fans! The band will be performing at Estadio de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos—often shortened to “Estadio San Marcos”—a multi-purpose stadium on the campus of the country’s flagship university. With an official capacity around 32,000 seats, it will be a slightly more intimate setting than Estadio Nacional, where the band made their Peru debut in 2017, but the band will surely not be tapering their energy in the slightest. Peru was a bit of a latecomer in South America in Linkin Park’s live history, much like their neighbor Colombia, where the band is coming from on this run. While Brazil, Argentina, and Chile saw the band visit throughout their mid-career, Linkin Park’s first Peruvian performance didn’t come until just before the release of their seventh studio album, One More Light, in May 2017. Crowd footage of “Papercut” during Linkin Park’s first-ever performance in Peru, as the penultimate song in the encore that night. That Lima show sold out within the first week, and 17 years of anticipation peaked as fans camped for days ahead of the performance. Opening with “Talking to Myself,” Linkin Park hit notes from across their catalog, weaving in six songs from their still-unreleased seventh studio album that night. One of those was the eponymous “One More Light,” for its second full live performance ever following its debut in Santiago, Chile, two days prior. “One More Light” performed at Estadio Nacional in Lima, Peru, just two days after its live debut in Santiago, Chile. Additionally, before that show, Rob Bourdon and Mike Shinoda stopped by one of Lima’s leading radio stations, Studio 92, much like Emily and Mike recently did virtually. Their hosts showed the two a trending video from Peruvian cumbia-turned-parody artist Tongo, a tongue-in-cheek cover of the band’s hit single “Numb.” Mike was so enamored with the video that not only was the song played post-show, but he also went on to share it via his Twitter. Tongo sadly passed away in 2023, but Studio 92 made sure to bring up his legendary “Numb” cover in their new chat with Emily and Mike. External playback has been disabled for “Numb” by Tongo, but you can watch it on YouTube here. The video speaks for itself. In terms of setlist, Bogotá showed Linkin Park’s 2025 live show structure continuing to hold strong, consistent with what fans across Asia, Europe, and North America have seen throughout the year. The band also continued their recent trend of bringing “Up from the Bottom” into the first act, shifting “Over Each Other” into the former’s usual spot while including “Stained” in the latter’s typical position. “Stained” has certainly been gaining a lot of traction from both the band and fans in their live performances! Footage of “Up from the Bottom” performed live in Bogotá on October 25, 2025. “LIES GREED MISERY” appears to be sticking around as well, appearing in the Bogotá set. It will likely continue its A-B rotation with “CASTLE OF GLASS” as seen throughout the North American fall run. The closer rotation also looks to be intact, with “Faint” and “In the End” ending the night in Bogotá while “From the Inside” (rotation slot), “Heavy Is the Crown,” and “Bleed It Out” wrapped the main set. Mike thanks the Colombia crowd before the band launches into “Faint” to close out their show in Bogotá. We would be remiss not to mention the inclusion of Poppy during Linkin Park’s show! After opening for the band this past weekend in Colombia, she then returned to the stage during the band's set to provide guest vocals on “One Step Closer.” The band has been incorporating their opener support as guests more and more this year, with Lynn Gunn of PVRIS on “BURN IT DOWN” and Jean Dawson on “CASTLE OF GLASS” most recently. The last “One Step Closer” guest was Takahiro Moriuchi of ONE OK ROCK, when the band opened for Linkin Park in Saint-Denis, France, at the end of the summer Europe run. “One Step Closer” in Bogotá, with Poppy joining Linkin Park onstage for guest vocals. Looking toward Peru, Lima may see the B setlist structure from the band tomorrow night. This often means rotations of “Given Up,” “Good Things Go,” and “A Place for My Head”; the first act rotations have been a bit harder to predict lately, but “Lying from You” is also another strong bet. There’s also a chance the band brings back “Unshatter,” their most recent live debut and last From Zero-era track brought to the stage. The band last performed the From Zero bonus track in Portland, Oregon, so Lima may be a good opportunity to revive it for South America. The last performance of “Unshatter,” in Portland, Oregon, over a month ago.

Just noticed the last show of this year falls 1 full year (and 1 day) after the release of FZ. What a journey has been made. About the show, pretty nice they played FTI on the last one! That song fits with Emily range so well.
