Linkin Park

By the time Linkin Park took the stage at iHeartRadio Theater on May 22, 2017, they were solidifying their place in the music landscape with their seventh studio album, "One More Light," which had just been released a few weeks earlier, on May 19. This album marked a significant musical shift for the band, showcasing a more melodic, pop-oriented sound compared to their earlier nu-metal roots. Interestingly, this performance was one of the band's last before the tragic passing of lead vocalist Chester Bennington just a couple of months later. It was a poignant moment, filled with emotions, as they performed tracks that would resonate deeply with fans, both during and after their live sets. As they navigated this new musical chapter, the energy in the venue amplified the feeling that they were not just performing; they were connecting with their audience in a profound way.
