Linkin Park emerged as an innovative musical force and are one of the most successful artists of the last twenty years. They first rose to fame in 2000 with Hybrid Theory, still the best-selling debut album of the 21st century. Their follow-up, Meteora (2003), debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200. Since then, the band has earned numerous accolades—including two GRAMMY® Awards—and sold over 100 million albums worldwide. They’ve headlined the biggest arenas and festivals across the globe. Beyond their musical legacy, Linkin Park is known for using their platform to support charitable causes and drive positive change. Linkin Park’s eighth studio album, ‘From Zero’, was released in November, featuring the instant classic ‘The Emptiness Machine’ and ‘Heavy is The Crown,’ bringing the signature sound fans know and love. According to Billboard, Linkin Park was the only rock band to surpass 2 billion streams last year.
The Werchter festival family is expanding with a new addition: Werchter Parklife. The new one-day festival positions itself somewhere between Werchter Boutique and TW Classic and firmly embraces rock and alternative rock. The name Werchter Parklife is not new. It made its debut in the summer of 2021, when the Werchter festival team brought live music back to life with a special concert series, crafted for exceptional times. Starting in 2026, Werchter Parklife will return, bringing the same positive energy, creativity, and sense of togetherness. On a single stage, set in Belgium’s most iconic Festivalpark. Werchter Parklife 2026 with headliner Linkin Park will take place on Sunday 28 June at the Festivalpark in Werchter.
