Who’s up for some serious headbanging on a Tuesday night? A lot of people, apparently. Fresh from its weekend stint in Japan’s annual Summer Sonic Festival, Linkin Park stopped by Manila last Aug. 13 as part of its “Living Things” world tour. Even if the concert fell on a weeknight, thousands of fans showed up at the SM Mall of Asia Arena to watch the Grammy-winning American band rock this city hard for the second time after nearly a decade.
It’s been nine years since Linkin Park first knocked the socks off Pinoy fans with its searing, angst-filled brand of rock. The Grammy-winning group first played in Manila in 2004 for its “Meteora” tour, back when it was still enjoying its status as the nü-metal band of the new millennium.
After last summer’s concert overload, the rainy season offers a short but sweet respite for our wallets before the next wave of shows hit Manila. Or at least, that’s what we’d like to think.
