Tribute concert to Linkin Park and Simple Plan at The Drill in Lincoln.
The Drill hosts a double tribute to Linkin Park and Simple Plan on Friday 19 February 2027, with two tribute acts sharing the bill. The night is built around the music of Linkin Park, the American rock band that formed in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996 and went on to shape alternative rock and nu metal. Their first seven studio albums featured Chester Bennington and Rob Bourdon; following Bennington's death in 2017 the band went on hiatus before reforming in 2024, with Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain joining Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn and Dave Farrell. The Simple Plan tribute runs alongside them, so it's a night that pulls from two different eras of pop-punk and alternative rock.
The venue is The Drill on Free School Lane, LN2 1EY, a versatile arts and community space in Lincoln with a capacity of around 500. It opened in 1890 as the Drill Hall and served as a military training facility before a significant refurbishment turned it into a cultural hub for live music, theatre, comedy and community activities, modernising the facilities while preserving the building's historical character. It's one of the city's more established spots for live music, and it's where you'll find this particular pairing.
