Linkin Park set a historic milestone during their headlining set at the Download Festival on Sunday, June 14, 2026. Closing out the three-day event at Donington Park in Leicestershire, England, the group followed main stage performances by Friday and Saturday headliners Limp Bizkit and Guns N’ Roses.
While this marked the fifth time Linkin Park has topped the bill since the festival launched in 2003, Sunday’s concert carried special significance. By featuring Emily Armstrong on vocals, the group officially became the first band with a female singer to ever headline Download Festival. Armstrong joined the reformed lineup in 2023, stepping in for the late Chester Bennington.
The landmark United Kingdom performance was part of the band’s “From Zero World Tour“, promoting their latest album, From Zero. The European leg of the trek will continue through the week, with shows scheduled in France on June 16 and Spain on June 19.
Fans in attendance witnessed a massive 23-song setlist divided into four distinct acts. Drawing heavily from their entire catalog, Linkin Park, a band highly experienced in curating major events after launching their own multi-genre “Projekt Revolution” tours in the early 2000s, delivered a mix of modern tracks, classic anthems, and a rare side-project cover.
