Linkin Park

By June 25, 2017, when Linkin Park performed at the Southside Festival, the band was promoting their latest album, "One More Light," released on May 19, 2017. This album marked a significant stylistic shift for the band, incorporating more pop and electronic influences compared to their earlier nu-metal sound. The performance included tracks from the new album, like "Good Goodbye" and "One More Light," showcasing their evolution as a band. Notably, this concert was part of their tour to support the album; however, it would be one of the last performances of their career before the untimely passing of lead vocalist Chester Bennington in July 2017. This context adds poignant significance to the recording, as it captures a transformative period for Linkin Park, blending their classic hits with newer material, while also foreshadowing the profound impact of loss that would follow soon after.
