Bengaluru witnessed a historic high point for rock music in India as Linkin Park finally made their debut in India for the first time in over two decades

As part of the From Zero World Tour, the band blended new tracks with legendary anthems, commanding the stage with a dynamic show that celebrated their enduring global impact

The evening opened with a commanding set by homegrown metal powerhouse Bloodywood, whose fusion of heavy metal and Indian folk elements immediately ignited the crowd. Powering through tracks like ‘Bekauf’, ‘Danadan’, ‘Halla Bol’ the band’s raw intensity and unapologetic sound set a ferocious pace for the night

The setlist bridged past and present, blending new material from From Zero with the anthems that define Linkin Park’s legacy. New tracks such as ‘The Emptiness Machine’ and ‘Heavy Is the Crown’ sat seamlessly alongside iconic favourites like ‘In The End’ and ‘Numb’

With the city still humming from the night’s energy, the band now sets its sights on Mumbai, where they will headline Lollapalooza India 2026, taking their first-ever India visit to an even bigger, festival-defining stage
