Linkin Park has uploaded the highly-anticipated first LPTV installment covering their most recent From Zero tour leg which took them to Australia and New Zealand just this past month. This was the band's first time in these countries since (respectively) 2013 and 2010, with unfortunate circumstances of all kinds preventing them from visiting again until this year. Unsurprisingly, the run proved to be one that won't soon be forgotten, with considerable setlist twists and turns night-to-night, some of the arena venues hitting new milestones thanks to Linkin Park coming through, and Mr. Hahn's birthday during the March 15 show in Sydney. There were also, of course, unforgettable From Zero Night experiences for Linkin Park Underground members, featuring exclusive merch access, exciting raffles and even some fan karaoke. With all this in mind, it's hardly a surprise that one LPTV episode isn't enough to cover the highlights from Linkin Park's AU / NZ tour. Among other things, this episode features the band members attempting Australian accents, footage of "Casualty" being performed for the one and only time all tour during the first Brisbane show, and the thing we all came to see: Linkin Park befriending the local wildlife during their visit to the iconic Australia Zoo in Queensland. There is also footage of the Linkin Park x Deus Ex Machina pop-up event in Melbourne which was on during the band's time in the city, with Colin Brittain making a surprise appearance to meet the fans shopping there. The episode closes out with fantastic shots of Emily Armstrong diving into the crowd during "Two Faced" at the second Melbourne show, the only stagedive of the entire tour. As this is titled "Part 1" (the "Part 2" seen in the video's title card is an error, it would seem), there will be at least one more episode covering this tour leg to look forward to.

Knew the zoo visit would be prime LPTV content! So nice to see them hugging koalas. Fun fact, a koala soft toy was one of the first gifts I got as a baby and I carried it throughout my whole childhood! Very cute to see my fav band hugging the real thing!
After I posted the tweet for this thread with this image I realized that the "part 2" might be because the AUS/NZ tour was the second tour leg of the year, and not referencing the "oaart 1" in the title of the episode
