Linkin Park Tour 2026

Inside Linkin Park

Linkin Park are the Agoura Hills, California rock band who, three decades after forming as Xero in a San Fernando Valley garage, sit at the center of one of the most-watched returns in modern rock. Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn, Rob Bourdon, and Phoenix built the project through the late 1990s, signed to Warner Bros. in 1999 after re-naming and recruiting Chester Bennington as lead vocalist, and released Hybrid Theory in October 2000 — a debut that fused nu-metal aggression, hip-hop structure, electronic production, and pop melody into a sound that became the commercial template for an entire generation of rock radio. Hybrid Theory was certified diamond by the RIAA, remains one of the best-selling debut albums in any genre, and produced In the End, Crawling, One Step Closer, and Papercut as catalogue anchors that still close arena setlists a quarter-century later. Meteora followed in 2003 with Somewhere I Belong, Numb, and Faint. Minutes to Midnight (2007), A Thousand Suns (2010), Living Things (2012), The Hunting Party (2014), and One More Light (2017) extended the catalogue across a deliberate stylistic evolution from the original nu-metal sound into atmospheric rock, electronic territory, and ultimately the pop-rock palette of One More Light — released two months before Chester Bennington's death in July 2017. The band paused active touring after the One More Light cycle. In September 2024 Linkin Park announced their return with new co-lead vocalist Emily Armstrong, previously of Los Angeles rock band Dead Sara, joining Mike Shinoda at the front of the lineup alongside founding members Brad Delson (on a reduced touring role), Joe Hahn, and the new touring drummer Colin Brittain replacing Rob Bourdon. The band released From Zero in November 2024 — their first studio album in seven years — and launched the From Zero World Tour, a global arena and stadium routing built around the new material and a deep run through the Hybrid Theory and Meteora catalogue. The reunion has been framed by the band as a continuation rather than a replacement: Chester Bennington's vocal work remains in the recorded catalogue and in tribute moments within the live show, while the new lineup carries the live performance forward. This page is the central hub for Linkin Park tour dates, the From Zero World Tour structure, ticket guidance, setlist context, and the cities the band plays most.

About Linkin Park

Linkin Park formed in Agoura Hills, California in 1996 when Mike Shinoda (vocals, keys, production), Brad Delson (guitar), and Rob Bourdon (drums) — three friends who had attended Agoura High School together — began writing material as the group Xero. Joe Hahn (turntables, samples) and Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell (bass) joined the lineup over the next two years. The band cycled through several frontmen in the late 1990s before recruiting Chester Bennington, a singer from Phoenix, Arizona who had previously fronted the post-grunge band Grey Daze. Bennington joined in 1999, the group changed names to Hybrid Theory (after the original concept of fusing hybridized musical theories) and then to Linkin Park (a play on Santa Monica's Lincoln Park, since the .com was unavailable), and signed to Warner Bros. Records. Hybrid Theory, released October 24, 2000, became the breakthrough — In the End, Crawling, One Step Closer, Papercut, and Points of Authority anchored an album that sold more than 11 million copies in the United States alone and earned diamond certification, won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance for Crawling, and remains one of the best-selling debut albums of the 21st century in any genre. Meteora followed in March 2003 with Somewhere I Belong, Numb, Faint, and Breaking the Habit, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and confirmed the band as the largest rock act of the early 2000s. The Collision Course collaborative EP with Jay-Z (2004) produced Numb/Encore and won a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. Minutes to Midnight in 2007 — produced by Rick Rubin — pivoted toward more melodic alternative rock with What I've Done, Shadow of the Day, and Bleed It Out. A Thousand Suns (2010) was a deliberately experimental concept record. Living Things (2012) returned to more direct rock songwriting with Burn It Down and Lost in the Echo. The Hunting Party (2014) leaned back toward heavier guitar-driven material; One More Light (2017) was the band's pop-rock turn, released two months before Chester Bennington's death in July 2017. The band did not officially disband but stepped back from active touring and recording for the remainder of the decade and into the early 2020s, with Mike Shinoda releasing solo material as Post Traumatic (2018) and the band reissuing legacy recordings including Hybrid Theory 20th anniversary editions and previously unreleased material from the Meteora sessions. In September 2024 the band announced their return with Emily Armstrong, formerly of Los Angeles rock band Dead Sara, joining as co-lead vocalist alongside Mike Shinoda, and with Colin Brittain joining as touring drummer; Brad Delson stepped back from active touring while remaining part of the band's creative core, with Alex Feder filling the touring guitar role. Linkin Park released From Zero on November 15, 2024 — the title a reference both to the band's original name Xero and to the conceptual restart — anchored by The Emptiness Machine, Heavy Is the Crown, Two Faced, Over Each Other, and Cut the Bridge. The From Zero World Tour launched simultaneously with arena dates and has scaled into stadium routing across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Oceania. Across the catalogue Linkin Park have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, won two Grammy Awards, and been cited as one of the defining rock acts of the 21st century. The band has been deliberate in framing the current lineup as a continuation of the project rather than a replacement: Chester Bennington's vocal work remains in the recorded catalogue and is treated with explicit care across the live performance, with Mike Shinoda speaking publicly about the band's intent to honor the original lineup while moving the live show forward.

From Zero World Tour

The From Zero World Tour is Linkin Park's current global touring framework — an arena and stadium routing launched alongside the From Zero album release in November 2024 that has scaled across North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Oceania since launch. The production is built around a roughly 95- to 115-minute headline set that braids the new From Zero material — The Emptiness Machine, Heavy Is the Crown, Two Faced, Over Each Other, and Cut the Bridge as the new-album spine — with a deep run through the Hybrid Theory and Meteora catalogue plus selected cuts from Minutes to Midnight, Living Things, and the band's wider discography. The staging on the From Zero run scales from a large arena thrust configuration with multiple LED towers and a runway extending into the floor for the arena-sized markets, into a full stadium end-stage production with extended video walls and pyrotechnics for the largest outdoor dates. Emily Armstrong handles the screamed and high-register vocal sections that Chester Bennington originally performed on the studio recordings, with Mike Shinoda continuing his original role as co-vocalist, rhythm guitarist, keyboardist, and the band's hip-hop verse anchor on tracks like In the End, Numb/Encore, Faint, and Bleed It Out. Joe Hahn remains on turntables and samples, Phoenix on bass, and Colin Brittain handles drums as touring drummer with Alex Feder on touring guitar. The band has incorporated dedicated tribute moments to Chester Bennington into the live set on most dates — a recorded vocal segment, a moment of audience-led singing on specific catalogue tracks, or framed visual references — handled with a deliberately respectful staging tone that the band and audience have settled into across the tour. Doors typically open 90 minutes to two hours before showtime depending on venue. Schedule and routing for the From Zero run continue to evolve; the schedule strip at the top of this page pulls every confirmed Linkin Park date from the live feed.

Linkin Park tickets

Linkin Park tickets on the From Zero World Tour are sold primarily through Ticketmaster in North America and through Ticketmaster, Live Nation, AXS, and regional primary partners across Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Oceania. Pricing on the arena legs has typically opened in the equivalent of $60–$120 USD range for upper-bowl seats at on-sale, with mid-bowl seats clearing $140–$220, lower-bowl and floor general admission landing $250–$450, and VIP and meet-and-greet packages (where offered) running $500 and up. Stadium dates scale pricing upward across every tier. Ticketmaster Verified Fan registration has been used for the most in-demand North American markets to filter bot and broker traffic, and the official Linkin Park Underground fan club presale runs roughly a week before public on-sale for verified members with priority access to lower-bowl and VIP allocations. Citi Cardmember presale typically runs in parallel on the North American legs. The band's on-sales for the From Zero arena routing have moved fast — most major-market dates have cleared the lower bowl inside the first hour through verified channels — and secondary trading on Ticketmaster Verified Resale and AXS Official Resale has run elevated above face for the Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, London, and São Paulo dates in particular. For secondary market purchases, stay on Ticketmaster Verified Resale, AXS Official Resale, or StubHub and SeatGeek with active buyer guarantees; avoid social-media DMs, Facebook Marketplace, and any seller demanding Venmo, Zelle, or wire payment outside a verified marketplace, as the Linkin Park reunion demand has attracted heavy counterfeit listing activity in every major market.

Linkin Park setlist — what they play

A Linkin Park setlist on the From Zero World Tour runs roughly 20 to 24 songs across the headline block, deliberately braided to land the new album material at meaningful volume while still delivering the Hybrid Theory and Meteora catalogue the audience came for. The show typically opens with Somewhere I Belong or a From Zero opener like The Emptiness Machine, lands quickly on Crawling and Lying from You from the early catalogue, and threads new material into the first third with Heavy Is the Crown and Two Faced. The middle of the show rotates Papercut, One Step Closer, Waiting for the End, Burn It Down, and Castle of Glass through the rotation slot, with the From Zero deep cuts Over Each Other and Cut the Bridge folding in depending on the night. The back third is built around the singalong canon: Numb, Faint, Breaking the Habit, Bleed It Out, What I've Done, and In the End as the typical closer, with Numb/Encore from the Collision Course collaboration often slotting in toward the end. Tribute moments to Chester Bennington have been incorporated at specific points across the set — typically during Leave Out All the Rest, One More Light, or a recorded vocal feature on Iridescent and Shadow of the Day — handled with deliberately respectful staging that the band and audience have settled into across the tour. Night-by-night variation focuses on the rotation slot in the middle and on which catalogue deep cut closes the encore (Bleed It Out and In the End trade off across dates). Setlist.fm tracks every From Zero date with crowd-submitted song lists usually posted within hours of the encore — the most reliable real-time source for confirming exactly what your specific date is playing.
