The American band Linkin Park will perform this Sunday, November 2, at the Estadio Nacional in Ñuñoa, as part of their From Zero tour. Authorities announced reinforcements in the Metro and buses to ease access, while a special Halloween event for fans was canceled due to force majeure. The show will mark the debut in Chile of new vocalist Emily Armstrong.
Linkin Park returns to Chile for the third time this Sunday, November 2, with a concert at the Estadio Nacional in Ñuñoa, Región Metropolitana. The event is part of the From Zero world tour, promoting their 2024 self-titled album, the first with vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, following Chester Bennington's death in 2017 and Rob Bourdon's resignation.
The band arrives after performances in Bogotá, Lima, and Buenos Aires. The setlist is structured in four acts and an encore, featuring 27 to 28 songs: eight from the new album and the rest from their discography, emphasizing the first two records.
To manage high attendance, Red de Movilidad will reinforce bus routes from 23:00 to 00:00. These include: 506 from Parada 1 / Metro Estadio Nacional to Peñalolén and from Parada 2 / Avenida Marathon to Maipú; 516 from Parada 2 to Pudahuel via Alameda; 104 from a provisional stop on avenida Pedro de Valdivia with Grecia to La Florida and Puente Alto; and 103 to Peñalolén.
Santiago Metro will start service at 06:30 and extend it until 00:30 on lines 3 and 6. Entry stations on Line 6: Estadio Nacional, Ñuble, and Ñuñoa. Exits on Line 6: Cerrillos, Franklin, Ñuble, Ñuñoa, Inés de Suárez, and Los Leones. On Line 3: Plaza Quilicura, Conchalí, Hospitales, Universidad de Chile, Irarrázaval, Ñuñoa, and Plaza Egaña. Interchange at Ñuñoa.
Additionally, the 'Linkin Parque Halloween' event, scheduled for October 31 at the Parque Bustamante skatepark from 16:00 to 19:00, was canceled. Warner Music Chile stated: “We want to inform you that, due to force majeure beyond our control, we are forced to cancel the ‘Linkin Parque Halloween’ event.” The free activity included contests, prizes, dynamics, and merchandise sales, with fans invited to dress emulating the band's aesthetic, but the group was on tour in another country that day.
