The wait is over — Linkin Park is officially back on the road. The band has announced their 2026 World Tour, a massive global trek in support of their comeback era, From Zero. With fresh energy, new faces, and the same raw intensity that made them icons, the band is set to take fans on a journey that blends nostalgia with a bold new chapter.
The announcement comes after the band’s 2024 return to music following a seven-year hiatus after the tragic passing of Chester Bennington. In that time, fans wondered whether Linkin Park would ever return to the stage. Their answer came in the form of From Zero, an album that not only redefined their sound but introduced the world to a revitalized lineup.
Fronted by longtime members Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, and with guitarist Brad Delson stepping back from live shows, the group introduced Emily Armstrong as co-lead vocalist and Colin Brittain on drums to carry the live energy forward. This combination sparked curiosity — and their 2024–2025 shows proved that Linkin Park was not just surviving, but thriving.
The From Zero World Tour kicks off on January 12, 2026, in Los Angeles, California, a fitting starting point for the band that helped define nu-metal and alternative rock at the turn of the millennium. From there, the band will travel across North America with major stops in Chicago (January 18), Toronto (January 22), and New York City (January 25) before heading overseas.
Europe will welcome Linkin Park in February, with shows lined up in London (February 5), Paris (February 9), Berlin (February 13), and Madrid (February 17). Each concert is expected to sell out quickly, with fans eager to see how the band merges classics like Numb and In the End with new anthems from From Zero.
Asia gets its share of the excitement in March, as the tour heads to Tokyo (March 1), Seoul (March 5), and Singapore (March 10). These shows mark Linkin Park’s return to regions where their influence helped shape entire generations of rock and alternative fans.
By April, the band will bring their fire to Sydney (April 2) and Melbourne (April 5) in Australia before making their way to South America. Massive performances are planned for São Paulo (April 20), Buenos Aires (April 24), and Santiago (April 28). South American fans, long known for their passion, are expected to give the band some of their loudest and most emotional crowds.
Africa is also included in this historic run, with shows in Cape Town (May 12) and Lagos (May 16) — making it one of the most inclusive global tours the band has ever attempted. Fans worldwide have praised the band’s decision to expand their reach and bring their music to corners of the globe that often go overlooked.
The final leg of the tour returns to North America in June for stadium shows, closing with a climactic performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 20, 2026. This finale is already being hyped as a once-in-a-lifetime event — a statement that Linkin Park has fully reclaimed their place among the world’s greatest live acts.
Tickets are expected to sell out in record time, with presales already showing overwhelming demand. The band has partnered with verified ticket outlets to prevent scalping and ensure that real fans have the best shot at experiencing this tour.
In their official announcement, Linkin Park expressed gratitude to their loyal fanbase. “This tour is about connection, healing, and moving forward together. From zero, we begin again — with all of you.” Those words capture the spirit of a band that has endured loss but continues to inspire hope, resilience, and unity.
As 2026 approaches, one thing is certain: Linkin Park is not just making a comeback — they’re entering a new era. The From Zero World Tour isn’t just about revisiting the past, but about writing the future. For millions of fans worldwide, it’s a chance to witness history in the making.
