‘Very poor’, cry fans as major US rock band snubs Scotland in world tour

SCOTTISH Linkin Park fans have been left fuming after being snubbed by the huge rock band following their tour announcement.

The massive US band is set to hit the road on a huge world tour next year – but they won’t be coming to Scotland.

The From Zero tour will instead visit locations such as Mexico City, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Buenos Aires and Rio De Janeiro.

Some of their European stops include Hanover, Berlin, Milan, Frankfurt, Paris, Arnhem and Gdynia.

Linkin Park will also visit London‘s Wembley Stadium for one night on Saturday, June 28.

Scottish fans flocked to social media to express their disappointment over the snub.

And some have accused the band of “thinking the UK is just England“, adding that it is “very poor”.

Posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, one person wrote: “You got a lot of fans in Scotland ya know…”

Another added: “Linkin Park still haven’t played a show in Scotland since 2004 so it’s no surprise that a Scotland date is missing once again.

“I guess it’s about time I gave up on my dream and travelled down to London to see them. Spiritbox supporting too. F*** it.”

Someone else said: “If there’s only going to be one UK show, which is crazy, why make it at the a*** end of the country.”

A fourth posted: “The last time Linkin Park played in Scotland was 2004, they haven’t played anywhere else in the UK except from England since then.

“That’s 25 shows in England without one anywhere else in the UK. They are the definition of thinking the UK is just England. That’s very poor.”

While a fifth chimed in: “You haven’t played a show in Scotland in 20 years (and it was a festival set, if we’re only talking headline shows, it was 2003). I’ve travelled to Manchester, Milton Keynes etc to see you play but it sucks that you never play here!”

And a user shared: “Linkin Park said NO to Scotland.”

The rock legends will perform 29 dates in stadiums across North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America next year.

The tour will start in Janury with the first shows kicking off in Mexico City on Janury 31.

It will then run for the full year, with the last show being held in Porto Alegre, in Brazil, on November 15.
