Last night (Oct. 25), Linkin Park kicked off the South American leg of their ongoing world tour (in support of 2024’s From Zero) at Vive Claro in Bogotá, Colombia. They’ll be joined by Poppy for the entire run, and concertgoers were treated to a special surprise when Poppy joined Linkin Park to perform one of the band’s biggest songs: “One Step Closer.”
More Details of Poppy + Linkin Park’s Performance of “One Step Closer”
Per setlist.fm, the show consisted of four acts plus an encore set, and the collaboration itself took place at the very end of Act II (between “IGYEIH” and “Lost”). It’s unclear if either artist said anything before or after the track, although Poppy did hug co-vocalist Emily Armstrong near the end of the song, and shortly thereafter, vocalist/guitarist Mike Shinoda yelled, “Make some noise for Poppy!”
Naturally, Poppy brought extra ferocity and excitement to the song, screaming the “‘Cause I’m one step closer to the edge / And I’m about to break” part while Armstrong sang the cleaner (“Everything that you say to me”) portion of the chorus. Of course, Poppy also helped with the verses, and judging by their reactions, her contributions seemed to go over well with the crowd.
You can see various fan-filmed clips of Poppy and Linkin Park doing “One Step Closer” below:
