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.
