Last night, Friday June 26, 2026the Visarno Arena in Florence was the beating heart of world rock, hosting the only, highly anticipated Italian date of “From Zero World Tour” of the Linkin Park.
Beyond 60,000 people responded to the call, pulverizing the tickets in record time and confirming a visceral bond between our country and the band, exactly two years after the publication of “From Zero”the album that redesigned the boundaries of their path.
Four acts of pure power and vulnerability
The show was structured as a real cinematic journey divided into four distinct acts, capable of bringing together the glorious past of Hybrid Theory And Meteor with the bright present guided by the energy of Emily Armstrong.
THE'Act I opened with the extended intro of “The Emptiness Machine”a song that redefined the world rock charts in 2024 and that explodes live with an old-time wickedness. Close by, classics like “Lying From You” And “Crawling” they immediately put the audience's vocal chords to the test.
THE'Act II and theAct III showed the thousand nuances of the band: from hip-hop samples and mash-ups led by Joe Hahn (with incursions of Fort Minor and fragments of “Remember the Name”), until the emotional catharsis of an acoustic and reduced version of “Lost”which left the arena with bated breath, followed by the monumental “What I've Done”.
The grand finale: an underground collision
The fourth act pushed the accelerator to the maximum. The arena literally shook over the pairing “Numb” (introduced by references to the famous version Numb/Encore) and on the devastating “Heavy Is The Crown”before “Bleed It Out” closed the main set with a tight tribute to “A Place for My Head”.
But the real coup de grace came with the encore. Three tracks that are the backbone of a generation: “Papercut”an immense one “In the End” sung by 60,000 voices in unison, and the blind fury of “Faint”which closed the evening leaving Florence wrapped in a cloud of sweat, adrenaline and triumph.
THE Linkin Park they came back from scratch, they reset the counter, but the impact of their music on the Italian public remains, today more than ever, an absolute “forever yes”.
