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.

[2][3] Linkin Park began their album tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina on May 6, 2017 at the Maximus Festival.

The tour took the band to numerous festivals including Download Paris, Hellfest, Impact, Southside and more.

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.
