Show Notes:
- Due to the Chinese government's censorship laws, the band was forced to censor Given Up, Remember The Name, Welcome, and Bleed It Out. On Given Up, Chester just skipped "fuck". On Remember The Name, Mike changed "motherfuckers" to "other fellas". On Welcome, Mike just skipped the "fuckers" part of "motherfuckers". On Bleed It Out, Mike didn't rap the entire line of "going out of my fucking mind" and let the crowd sing it instead.
- On the transition outro of Runaway, Mike rapped verse one of Wastelands. Chester sang the first line of the bridge over the outro transition.
- Chester mixed the up the ending of the Final Masquerade verses. He sang "to what we left behind" at the end of verse 1, and "to something we won't find" at the end of verse 2.
- Mike dedicated Welcome to the Chinese fans who had waited for a very long time to see Linkin Park perform live.
- Mike played guitar on the bridge and ending of In The End, a rare move he started doing off-and-on in May 2014.
- Crawling was completely absent from this setlist. It opened the encore at both Mexico City shows for the first two performances of this setlist, and it was listed to open the encore in Nanjing but not played. On this setlist, it was removed entirely, and the setlist name changed to "China (Full)" instead of "US Festival (Full)".
- During the bridge of Bleed It Out, Chester conducted a sing-a-long with the crowd.
Other Notes:
- This was Linkin Park's first show in Shenzhen.
- The band had to submit a list of songs to the Chinese communist government to be "pre-approved" for the setlist. Included were all songs played on the world tour for The Hunting Party up to this point, even those not in the current setlist. 42 songs total were listed, including A Place For My Head, Somewhere I Belong, A Light That Never Comes, With You and Blackout. Keys To The Kingdom, which has not received its live debut yet, was also on the list.
- There was no LPU Meet & Greet at this show. The Chinese Tour did not have the customary M&Gs, which made it the first tour in LP's band history to not have them since the inception of the LPU. Mercedes Benz (tour sponsor), however, held M&Gs before the shows for their own car buyers, etc to meet the band. Instead, two LPU Meetups events were held in Shenzhen and Shanghai. Despite the band not being confirmed to attend, they showed up and fans were allowed to take a group picture with Linkin Park but not get any autographs. Even at these LPU Meetups events, the Mercedes Benz people went first to meet the band.
- There was no opening band for the China Tour.
