Linkin Park

During the Southside Festival in 2017, Linkin Park was riding high on the release of their seventh studio album, 'One More Light,' which came out just a month prior, on May 19, 2017. This album marked a shift in their musical style, moving towards a more pop-oriented sound compared to their earlier nu-metal roots. The performance at this festival was particularly poignant, as it was one of the last live shows featuring lead vocalist Chester Bennington before his tragic passing just a month later. Fans and members of the band have often reflected on the emotional depth of their live performances during this era, noting how impactful songs from 'One More Light' became in capturing the raw feelings of connection and vulnerability. It's incredible to think about how music can resonate in different ways during different moments in life.
