With the release of Living Things in 2012, unflagging rap rock pioneers Linkin Park landed their fourth consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard 200, quickly following up in 2013 with Recharged, a remix album of the release featuring productions by Steve Aoki and KillSonik. The band's increasingly dance-oriented sound was reflected on their 2013 tour dates, which saw Aoki appearing alongside the band in a series of high-energy performances anchored by Aoki's remix of their latest single "A Light That Never Comes." The band's 2000 debut Hybrid Theory was an overnight success, becoming the top-selling album of 2001 and earning the band their first Grammy for single "Crawling." 2003 follow-up Meteora proved an even bigger success, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawning four No. 1 singles including fan favorites "Faint" and "Numb." The subsequent Meteora World Tour generated millions in ticket sales, firmly cementing the band's ongoing presence at the top of festival bills. In 2013, lead singer Chester Bennington announced his replacement of Scott Weiland as lead singer of '90s alternative icons Stone Temple Pilots, but fans can rest assured – Linkin Park has announced plans to release their sixth studio album with Bennington in 2014, and will perform their debut album Hybrid Theory in full at the 2014 Download Festival.

The sound was amazing and crystal clear with bass that you could feel even in the upper level. The show was also visually amazing. Next time I see them I will make sure to be closer to the stage or have a centered view to make it even better. I would recommend any Linkin Park fan to see them at least once!
I've waited a couple years to see these guys, and have only heard great things, so you can imagine my expectations were high-they surpassed those. It was high energy from start to finish, they played a great mix of the old and the new, they sounded amazing and on par with the albums, and really kept the crowd going. They had this great interactive installation going on during all the performances as well that would show the crowd and the guys. Honestly, even if you weren't a fan I think it'd be very enjoyable. The opening acts were fine too, not a pain to sit through like some are. Both groups got things going. I especially liked Pendulum's performance.
Overall, this concert was great! I really enjoyed the opening acts and Linkin Park was fantastic in person! They sounded great!
it was an ok concert... saw them back in 08 ( they put on a better show back then)
It was a very good concert, a concert with mixture of old and new songs. Fans of Linkin Park who have rarely listen to their new songs can still enjoy the concert as much as fans who still listen to their current, techno-like songs. They are still awesome, Chester and Mike still have got the "oomph" in them.
What a sound! Linkin Park sound so great rockin' live. I wish the set and encore was longer. The GA crowd looked like they were having fun fun fun.
What a disappointment. Expected to see a solid show from a band that has been around for a good long time now. The warm up acts were very good and set the stage for a great night, but when Linkin Park came out it was anything but. They looked bored on stage, just another night at the office and another million dollars, ho hum. The worst part of was they didn't sound very good and some of the songs were truly butchered, like Crawling. The only songs they play really well are the slow songs, so if that's what you like best about Linkin Park, then by all means, go. If you like energy, intensity, a big show and stage presence? Don't! Save your money, go see someone else.
This was one of the most amazing concerts I have ever seen! Linkin Park definately did not disappoint! I would see them again in a minute
My husband and I have seen Linkin Park twice and both times the concert was AMAZING!!! they know how to put on a GREAT performance and they know how to make GREAT music. Would see them again in a heartbeat.
Best music! Great sound at Air Canada Centre. Encore rocked! Love you LP!
Great show. Would go againg in a heart beat! linkin park is just as good live as on their cds.
absolutely fantastic, great performance, great light show, great setlist --- played a lot of their old classics, unforgettable show!
AMAZING such a good act, and amazing atmosphere...
One of the best concerts I have been to! Excellent band to see live
Since i was about 9 or 10 i've wanted to see LP, and i'm now 21 years old, and finally saw them a few days ago. Most amazing musical experience of my life. Amazing setlist of songs, played almost back to back to back. Perfect sound by the band, they sounded exactly like the CD's and albums, blew my mind. How Chester was able to scream, sing, shout and do all these amazing things, and then have like 15 seconds break (sometimes no break) before starting another song was insane. They didnt waste time talking to the crowd for alot of time, just a few pump ups like "Let's go Toronto!!" etc. which meant more songs, more quality. I lost my mind, would recommend it to anyone of any age. Amazing.
This is the first time at the ACC and watching LinkinPark Live...I have been waiting 10 years of my life for this..and finally I watched them live..I wish I could watch them up from close but it wasn't so bad..a little dissapointed..cause i have never been to the ACC and didn't have prior knowledge of the seating and viewing capacity...but not gonna make the same mistake in the future...overall amazing experience..and hope to meet them or get an autograph in the future..Dream come true..
Great lighting and sound engineering. The music was turned up nice and loud (as LP should be) but the sound quality was still perfect. Best show I've seen in some time!
The concert was amazing! Great set list! Good mix of old and new songs. Linkin park kept the crowd going. Lights, background, stage set up made the stage interesting to look at and added character. The best concert I've ever been to. Talented musicians. They sounded exactly like their CD!
Amazing show, starting with the opening band Pendulum who I had never heard of. Had a sound similar to Prodigy, really warmed up the crown nicely. Linkin Park started the set off with their old tunes and finished off with One Step Closer to end the set. Five song encore ending with In The End and Bleed It Out finished the show off with a bang!
