Linkin Park Plans 2026 Australian Arena Shows With New Vocalist

Linkin Park is set to return to Australia in March 2026 as part of their ongoing From Zero World Tour, marking their first Australian performances since 2013. The tour will feature three arena shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney, celebrating their latest album, From Zero, which debuted at number one in 14 countries including Australia. This tour is the band's first with new vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, who replaced founding member Rob Bourdon. Original members Mike Shinoda, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, and Joe Hahn also continue to perform, with Shinoda describing this era as a "new chapter" rather than a restart. Ticket sales will begin with exclusive presales for fan club members and Vodafone and CommBank customers in mid-August, followed by general public sales on August 22. The setlists will blend new tracks with fan favorites, while honoring Chester Bennington by excluding at least one song from live performances out of respect.
