Linkin Park inspires 45,000 fans: comeback concert in Frankfurt!

On July 8, 2025, the time had finally come: Linkin Park celebrated their triumphant comeback in Frankfurt in a sold-out concert in front of 45,000 fans in Deutsche Bank Park. After a long break and the tragic loss of singer Chester Bennington, the band now welcomes a new voice: Emily Armstrong. This change not only marks a new era for the rock icons, but also the start of a story that will remain in the memory, as [cityguide-rhein-neckar.de](https://cityguide-rhein-neckar.de/2025/07/09/linkin-park- Feiern-triumphales-comeback-in-frankfurt-ein-konzert-das-geschichte-schreibt/) reports.

The concert began with a ten-minute countdown on an LED wall, followed by the party anthem “We just want to celebrate” by Peter Wackel. The band opened with “Somewhere I Belong” – a powerful start that immediately got the crowd going. Armstrong impressed the audience with her rendition of classics such as “Lying From You” and “Waiting for the End” and caused amazement and excitement as she presented old hits in a new light.

Unique setlist and impressive support

The event was characterized by a dramaturgical concept in four acts. The setlist included both new and old tracks, such as “The Catalyst,” “Castle of Glass,” and “Lost.” Mike Shinoda delivered a thrilling medley of “Where’d You Go,” “Remember the Name,” and “Until It Breaks.” An unforgettable evening came to an end with “In the End” as the grand finale, with the audience singing along. The encores, including a fresh remix of “Papercut” and the rousing “Bleed It Out,” were the icing on the cake of a milestone in rock history, as rollingstone.de emphasizes.

Linkin Park was supported by the talented acts JPEGMAFIA and Architects. JPEGMAFIA delighted the listeners with its unique mix of industrial hip-hop, noise and samples, while the British metalcore band Architects created a great atmosphere with their powerful hits “Doomsday” and “Animals”.

The weather and the special features of the tour

On July 8th the weather in Frankfurt was warm and slightly rainy, with temperatures around 21 degrees, and light showers continued into the evening. Similar weather was forecast for the following day, July 9th, with average temperatures of around 22 degrees.

Not only were these two concerts sold out, but they were also the band's first performances since the death of Chester Bennington. Originally only one concert was planned in Frankfurt, but due to high demand a second date was quickly set. Admission began at 4 p.m. and fans in and around Frankfurt had the chance to experience the return of one of the most important rock bands of our time. Ticket prices varied from 113 to 176 euros for standing room, and some remaining tickets were available via Live Nation.

Linkin Park is back and audiences have been celebrating with enthusiasm. An all-round successful event that will definitely be a topic of conversation in the Cologne neighborhood.
