Linkin Park is making a long-awaited return to the stage, unveiling a new lineup and a massive world tour for the first time in nearly ten years. The announcement came on Thursday, November 14, just a day before the release of their highly anticipated album From Zero.

The tour kicks off in January 2025 with three shows in Mexico, followed by stops in Japan and a one-off concert in Jakarta, Indonesia—marking the band’s first performance there in 13 years. The globe-spanning tour will take the band across North America, Europe, and Asia throughout the spring and summer, culminating in a South American leg set to wrap up in November.

This marks a significant moment for Linkin Park, whose last world tour was in 2017, shortly before the tragic passing of their frontman Chester Bennington. Since then, the band has taken time to grieve, regroup, and explore their creative direction. The announcement of their new lineup and fresh music signals a reinvention of the band while maintaining their signature blend of rock, rap, and electronic elements that defined their sound.

Formed in 1996, Linkin Park burst onto the music scene with their groundbreaking debut album Hybrid Theory, which became one of the best-selling albums of all time. Over the years, their ability to evolve while retaining their core identity earned them a devoted global fanbase. Hits like “In the End,” “Numb,” and “Crawling” remain anthems for millions, with the band’s music continuing to resonate across generations.

From Zero represents a new chapter for Linkin Park, featuring collaborations with longtime producer Mike Shinoda and contributions from the band’s new members, whose identities have been kept under wraps until now. This tour will be the first opportunity for fans to see the refreshed lineup in action, promising both nostalgia and fresh energy.

Fans around the world are eagerly counting down the days, as Linkin Park’s return to the stage promises to reignite the raw emotion and powerful performances that have defined their legacy. With From Zero and a massive tour on the horizon, the band is poised to embark on their next chapter, honoring their past while stepping boldly into the future.
