Linkin Park performs Iridescent live at KROQ Los Angeles

Venue: KROQ Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States Date: April 30, 2010

In the spring of 2010, Linkin Park was riding a wave of anticipation as they prepared to release their fourth studio album, 'A Thousand Suns.' This concert at KROQ in Los Angeles, held on April 30, 2010, showcased their hit 'Iridescent,' a standout track reflecting their evolution in sound—melding rock with electronic influences. Interestingly, the band had taken a bold step by incorporating more atmospheric elements and deep lyrical themes into their music, setting them apart in the nu-metal genre. The performance captured the audience’s heartfelt connection to the band's message of hope and resilience, which became even more poignant following the tragic passing of lead vocalist Chester Bennington in 2017. This era marked a transition, highlighting Linkin Park's willingness to experiment while still resonating deeply with their fans.
