Linkin Park played their only UK headline show of 2025 at Wembley Stadium, reported as the biggest headline show of their career.
Linkin Park, whose debut album Hybrid Theory is certified Diamond in the United States, played Wembley Stadium on Saturday 28 June 2025. It was the band’s only UK headline show of the year.
The group formed in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996. Hybrid Theory (2000) produced “One Step Closer”, “Crawling” and “In the End”, which reached number two on the US singles chart.
After singer Chester Bennington died in 2017, the band stopped for seven years. They returned in September 2024 with vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, and released the album From Zero that year.
The crowd was reported at 75,000, the band’s biggest headline show. Mike Shinoda told them it was his first time playing the stadium, and the 23-song set opened with “Somewhere I Belong” and “Crawling”. Joe Hahn also played a solo DJ set midway through.
Dave Farrell completed the line-up on bass. Spiritbox, a Canadian metal band from Victoria, British Columbia, and JPEGMAFIA, a rapper and producer from Brooklyn, opened.
