They tried so hard: Linkin Park's homecoming L.A. show hit with huge downgrades and ticket price drop
Linkin Park has made a major change to the homecoming date on their 2025 From Zero world tour, which resumes April 26 in Austin, Texas.
Last September, the nu-metal band kicked off their world tour in Inglewood, California. That concert marked their highly anticipated return to live performances following a seven-year hiatus after the tragic suicide of frontman Chester Bennington in 2017. It also welcomed Bennington's replacement, Emily Armstrong, as well as new drummer Colin Brittain.
The nearly year-long world tour is in support of the band's latest album, From Zero, and features stops in major cities across North America, Europe and South America.
In an Instagram post made last week, the 'In the End' band announced additional South American dates. Meanwhile, in the same post, they noted that their forthcoming September 13 show in their hometown of Los Angeles had been relocated from the previous 56,000-capacity Dodger Stadium to the significantly smaller 18,000-capacity Intuit Dome.
'If you purchased tickets previously, you will be refunded & have first shot at buying tickets at Intuit Dome. Can't wait to see you there!' the message read.
The concert will still be opened by previously announced rapper and singer JPEGMAFIA; however, Queens of the Stone Age will no longer make an appearance.
In a subsequent post, Linkin Park advertised discounted tickets to any North American 'show of your choice' for only $39.95 (not including fees and taxes), with the caveat being that the seats would be randomly assigned.
Both the Los Angeles venue downgrade, along with the low-priced tickets, has led to speculation that the band is having trouble selling tickets.
The Independent has contacted Linkin Park's representatives for comment.
From Zero, released shortly after the band's first reunion concert, is the group's first album since Bennington's death. It has become a hit with critics and fans alike, with The Independent 's Helen Brown writing that while the album is nothing revolutionary, it is 'certainly a re-energized return to business for a band that has been sorely missed.'
Brown further praised Armstrong for her 'roaring' vocals, adding that the singer's 'new flavor is balanced by the familiarity of the nu-metal band's crowd-pleasing chord progressions.'

These Are The Most Thoughtful Father's Day Gifts We've Seen This Year
Maybe your dad is easy to buy for. Maybe you always know what to get him, and he's really grateful to receive your gift. In my experience, this is not the case. I have struggled with birthdays, Christmases and most definitely Father's Day. After all, the latter is the day when you're supposed to show your care and (extreme) gratitude for the endless lifts he gave you and your friends for years on end (just me?). Just where does one find presents that feel personal and special but also remain affordable? I'll tell you: it's Bloom & Wild. You may be thinking that Bloom & Wild is the name you associate with beautiful flowers, both in letterbox and hand-tied form. While you're right, what you need to know is that the brand has expanded its gift offerings of late and now offers the most incredible array of unique ideas for every occasion. For Father's Day, this means utterly delicious hampers filled with all his favourite things, sweet treats that will fit through the letterbox and even a 'pub in a box', which involves a selection of great beers and yummy snacks. In short, there's a present fit for every dad, regardless of taste, from as little as £20. That's not all, though. Bloom & Wild is also offering a super-cute personalised present for your dad that won't cost you anything at all, to celebrate those everyday acts of care that makes every dad so special. The brand has developed a prompt for ChatGPT which asks for a photo of your dad and a little bit of text explaining what you're grateful for (from cups of tea to invaluable DIY skills), which it will then use to generate a personalised stamp which you can send. Instructions on exactly how to do this are below, and Bloom & Wild is even running a competition to let one lucky winner receive a glorious bouquet for themselves, as well as a bundle of Father's Day goodies. All you need to do is follow the brand on Instagram, then like its post going live on Tuesday 11th June. Then, simply create your stamp and share it, tagging @bloomandwild as you do so. The winner will be announced on Friday, 13th June. 1. Go go ChatGPT (or your AI image-creation tool of choice). Avoid Gemini, as it's not great at putting image on text! 2. Copy and paste the following prompt, filling in the blanks. 3. For a super personalised result, upload a photo of your father figure My [father figure] shows he cares by [insert act of care]. Turn this into a snappy headline suitable for a social media post, paired with a caring, thoughtful two-line rhyming poem that has a warm, witty tone. Use British English, and ensure the spelling is 100% accurate and the copy is grammatically correct. Then generate and place this into a grainy, vintage postage stamp-style image inspired by a 1920s poster ad, using a flat vector illustration style. Preserve the original character likeness and pose. Use vintage colours including the color palette: #447964 (green) #F9ECD7 (cream) #FDF888 (yellow). Design features must include: Perforated border edges, Bold visual highlights, Light noise texture throughout, Stamp must be rotated exactly 18 degrees and scaled to 70%, always centered in frame, Aspect ratio: 9:16, Style: v6 raw —ar 9:16. Overlay 1–2 distressed ink stamp marks. In the bottom right corner of the stamp, add the brand name: 'SENT WITH LOVE BY BLOOM & WILD' — in the same size font as surrounding text. Final image should evoke the nostalgic charm and emotional tone of a 1920s advertisement. Never again will I worry about what to buy for the man who has, until now, been impossible to buy for.

Trinny Woodall, 61, displays her impressive abs in skintight matching gym set as she hosts a yoga session with fans
Trinny Woodall displayed her impressive abs as she lead a yoga session with her fans on Tuesday. The What Not To Wear star, 61, proved age is just a number as she showed off her toned torso on social media. Trinny took to her Instagram Story of Tuesday to share she was about to go live on YouTube with a yoga class for her followers to join in on. She announced the class sporting a skintight matching gym set in a grey crocodile print, consisting of a strappy sports bra and high-waisted leggings. In the clip, Trinny said: 'Good morning all, sorry for the lateness. Once a month I do Australian telly and it doesn't end until 12, so I just overslept. 'Anyway Victoria's here and we're going to do a sort of half an hour yoga session of just waking up your body and getting ready for the day. So join us on YouTube now.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Trinny opened up about her struggle with her weight, admitting that the pounds fall off her too easily. Also taking to Instagram, she shared that she now focuses on getting enough protein in her diet after losing 4kg from an illness. She said: 'I'm not one to talk about weight because for me it's about strength and definitely the maintenance of protein as you go down the path of life. 'But today I am I have always had a high metabolism and I have always been what some people might define as thin. 'What I don't love is when I lose weight especially after being ill and I can lose it quickly - what I notice is the change in my body.' Trinny added: 'Muscle needs daily protein and muscle keeps my bones protected - it gives structure to my skin and it gives me physical and mental strength. 'It is harder as you get older to maintain muscle mass, but it is so important.' So in a bid to keep her body looking its best, she has recently doubled her protein intake. Trinny took to her Instagram Story of Tuesday to share she was about to go live on YouTube with a yoga class for her followers to join in on Trinny joked: 'I don't want to be in a bikini with a saggy a**e. I'm just going admit that one. 'But most importantly when i get sick and lose weight it makes me feel so so vulnerable to not being strong in myself and how when I am physically strong it gives me such a mental strength. 'Ask yourself are you taking enough protein every day? You should really take double the kilos that you weigh especially as you reach menopause and beyond... Sometimes that's really challenging.' Trinny openly talks about some of the health benefits she buys into as the reason she looks so good into her 60s - including regular workouts and consistent skincare. She most recently revealed the secrets behind her noticeably radiant complexion after what she describes as a 'very stressful' few months. Trinny, the powerhouse creator of beauty brand Trinny London, has seen her business skyrocket over the past few years with a rapidly growing following. Torn between her many commitments, she was starting to really feel - and see - the impact of her hectic schedule. Until she discovered her unexpected love for daily meditation - something she admits 'wasn't for her' but now describes as 'profound'. She told FEMAIL: 'I lead quite a stressed life and I was realising that stress, medically, is a really sh**ty place to get to for your body. It just is. It will affect you physically and medically. 'So I thought I would take control before I let stress affect my body in a negative way. 'I had two people come into my life and I noticed such a profound difference in how they were [after meditating]. One of them I thought had had a facelift, and the other was just so much easier to sit and chat to.' Inspired, Trinny started getting up half an hour earlier each morning and spend 20 minutes meditating with a mantra. She then finds time for a second 20-minute block in the afternoon - even if it's in the bathroom at her office. 'I've been doing it for four weeks now and I really feel a shift. When you're stressed, from an aesthetic perspective, it shows on your face,' she said.

Holly Willoughby's hidden struggle before diagnosis after 'writing herself off'
Former This Morning host Holly Willoughby spoke about her experience with dyslexia in the new documentary Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution which aired on Channel 4 last night Presenter Holly Willoughby has opened up about feeling "different" when she was younger in a new documentary that she has described as "important". She's suggested that she ended up "writing herself off" due to a challenging experience. Holly, 44, has previously spoken about being diagnosed with dyslexia shortly before her GCSEs. She once shared whilst hosting This Morning that she felt "shameful" about struggling with spelling for years, but also revealed on the ITV show that she's since become proud to have dyslexia. She's now further discussed her experience with the learning difficulty at school. Holly opened up in the documentary Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution, which aired on Channel 4 on Monday, with her among the participants in the project. The one-off special saw chef Jamie Oliver, who has spoken about his own experience with dyslexia, explore the challenges faced by pupils who have dyslexia. It also shows him campaigning for more support for those affected by dyslexia. Like other participants, including Jamie Laing, Holly makes brief appearances in video messages shown during the documentary. She's seen talking about her experience, including sharing that she felt "different" when she was at school. Opening up about her difficulty with spelling, she said in her first appearance: "I definitely was terrible at spelling." She continued by sharing with viewers: "I knew that because in spelling tests I'd always get really poor results." Holly later said that she was "always" expecting feedback on her homework to include "silly mistakes" being brought to her attention. She said in the documentary: "I always knew that when I'd get my homework back, there would be red pen all over it where there would be 'silly mistakes'." She said: "I felt like I was working really, really hard with not getting much results. So I felt different." She later added: "The school system is made for a certain type of learning and it's so hard when you don't learn like that." Holly suggested that it had an impact on her even after she had left school. She said: "When you then write yourself off at school as being 'non-academic,' that does shape your future somewhat." Following the broadcast of Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution, Holly responded to the documentary and a post made about it by Jamie. He had reflected on the reaction to the project in a post on Instagram this morning. He wrote: "I've been completely blown away by the response to Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution. The stories so many of you have shared- about your own journeys, struggles, and strengths - have been powerful, emotional, and deeply moving. "If you've got something to say about dyslexia or neurodiversity -whether it's your own experience, a frustration, or a big idea -please share it with [Secretary of State for Education] @bridgetphillipsonmp with the hashtag #ComeOnBridget and let her know that change is needed! If you missed it last night on @channel4 hit the link in my bio to catch up #ComeOnBridget." Holly later shared the post on her Instagram Story and wrote in her caption: "Well done [Jamie] such an important documentary! Just the beginning of this conversation." Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution is available through Channel 4.
