Linkin Park

In the summer of 2005, Linkin Park performed a historic set at Live 8 in Philadelphia, just a year after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "Meteora." This album, packed with hits like "Numb" and "Somewhere I Belong," showcased their signature blend of nu-metal and alternative rock, helping to solidify their place in the music world. During this iconic performance, they teamed up with Jay-Z, merging their styles in a thrilling rendition of "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" and "Lying From You." It's fascinating to note that this collaboration was part of the promotion for their mashup album, "Collision Course," which came out later that year. The Live 8 concert aimed to raise awareness for global poverty, adding a layer of significance to their electrifying set, reminding fans that music can be a powerful force for change.
