Linkin Park

In August 2003, Linkin Park performed a memorable set at the Reading Festival, spotlighting their meteoric rise following the release of their groundbreaking album, 'Meteora.' Released just a few months earlier in March, 'Meteora' spawned hits like 'Somewhere I Belong' and 'Faint,' propelling the band into mainstream success. By the time they took the stage in Reading, they were already known for their dynamic blend of nu-metal and alternative rock, captivating audiences with their intense energy. This performance is significant not just for its electrifying atmosphere, but also for showcasing the band's tight-knit collaboration and experimentation with genres, a hallmark of their early work. In fact, this live recording captures the essence of their early sound, where emotion met aggression, resonating deeply with fans who experienced the raw power of 'In the End' and more.
