Closing out the show from their “FROM ZERO WORLD TOUR” sold-out concert in São Paulo, Brazil, two-time 2024BBMAs winners Linkin Park – who accepted “Top Rock Duo/Group,” and “Top Hard Rock Artist” awards – treated 55,000 fans to a high-energy performance of “The Emptiness Machine” with amazing spidercam angles.
