Expressing gratitude to Vicky's mother for bringing her, Shinoda then presented Vicky with his own worn and signed cap, which she immediately put on to the crowd's delight. The band played a two-hour set that included fan favorites like 'In the End,' 'Numb,' and 'One Step Closer,' interspersed with newer songs from their album 'From Zero.'

New singer Emily Armstrong, who joined Linkin Park for their comeback, shared the spotlight prominently with Shinoda. The festival's lineup also featured performances by Papa Roach, Clipse, Zwangere Guy, Landmvrks, and Phantogram.
