In The End delivered a performance that captured the energy of Linkin Park’s original shows. Playing the complete Papercuts album with renditions of hits like ‘In the End,’ ‘Numb,’ and ‘Crawling’ had the audience singing along. The lead singer’s voice connected with the crowd, paying tribute to Chester Bennington. During the set, the lead singer remarked, “I remember when we played up the road at The Concert Lounge for maybe 120 people. Now, we’re here at the RMA playing for hundreds. It’s all thanks to you, our fans, for making this possible.”
