One More Light Live
One More Light Live is the third live album by American rock band Linkin Park, released on December 15, 2017. Recorded during the band's European leg of their One [More Light World Tour] in 2017, this is the first release since the death of lead singer Chester Bennington as well as the final live album to feature drummer / band co-founder Rob Bourdon and lead guitarist Brad Delson. Bourdon departed the band in 2020 and opted not to rejoin for the group's reformation in 2024; Delson later announced his decision to withdraw from touring with the band during its reunion, but still remains as an official member of the band.
Background
Linkin Park began their album tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina on May 6, 2017, at the Maximus Festival. They continued on with playing three more shows on the South American run before returning to the United States to play a few promo shows, including a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.The band set off for a one-month trip to Europe to play a total of 16 shows. The European Tour began in Bretigny, France on June 9, 2017. The tour took the band to numerous festivals including Download Paris, Hellfest, Impact, Southside and more. Linkin Park played back-to-back shows in London before the tour came to an end in Birmingham, England where Bennington's final performance with Linkin Park took place.
The band was scheduled to play in Manchester the following day but cancelled their performance due to the venue still being damaged from the May 2017 terrorist attack that occurred during Ariana Grande's concert.
On July 20, 2017, Bennington died by suicide in his Palos Verdes Estates home. In the wake of his death, Linkin Park cancelled the rest of the One More Light tour, which was set to begin a week after Bennington's death.
