Linkin Park announce first shows Down Under in 13 years
Linkin Park are set to return to Australia in March 2026, marking their first shows in the country since 2013's Soundwave Festival. The tour will include stops at Brisbane Entertainment Centre (3 March), Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena (8 March) and Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena (14 March).
The shows are part of the band's ongoing 'From Zero World Tour', which began in September 2024 and is their first with new vocalist Emily Armstrong. Armstrong, formerly of Dead Sara, spoke to Billboard about the challenge of performing songs made famous by late frontman Chester Bennington, saying she aims to "be myself" while preserving the "passion" fans associate with the originals.
Linkin Park last toured Australia in support of 2012's 'Living Things', but skipped the country on 2014's 'The Hunting Party' tour and 2017's 'One More Light' run before Bennington's passing. The 2026 dates mark a long-awaited reunion between the rock icons and their Australian fans.
