Linkin Park are set to return to Australia for the first time in 13 years, announcing three arena shows for March 2026 as part of their ‘From Zero’ world tour.
Announced today (11th August) by Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong and co., the run opens in Brisbane on 3rd March at the Entertainment Centre, before heading to Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on 8th March and wrapping at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on 14th March. It is currently unknown if more dates will be added.
Artist pre-sales will run from 9am local time on Monday, 18th August until 22nd August. Vodafone and Commbank Yello Mastercard pre-sales begin 19th August at 11am, while Live Nation pre-sales run from noon 21st August until 10am on 22nd August. General tickets go on sale at 11am local time on 22nd August.
The band are currently on a North American tour and will head to South America later in the year. They performed at Wembley Stadium in late June and have since shared official footage of ‘The Emptiness Machine’ from that show.
With the group’s relaunched line-up, Shinoda has discussed the “culture” around the band, saying it feels like the “best we’ve had”. Alongside Armstrong’s addition, drummer Colin Brittain has joined following the departure of founding member Rob Bourdon. Founding guitarist Brad Delson is absent from the comeback tour but continues to work with the band on new music. Addressing the band’s live return, Shinoda has said this iteration is “not about erasing the past”. He has also said he is “not sure” if they will make new recordings of older songs that feature the late Chester Bennington.
