It looks like Linkin Park may finally be headed our way. Today, the legendary band dropped news of a massive world tour, hitting some of the biggest stages across the globe. While Aussie dates haven’t been officially announced yet, the schedule hints at a big reveal in the coming weeks, and we’re here for it.
After all, there’s a seven-week gap right after their shows in Japan and Indonesia – a prime opportunity for Linkin Park to bring their From Zero tour down under.
The band’s 2025 world tour, already a stadium-sized juggernaut, will feature iconic stops from Tokyo to Las Vegas, Paris to São Paulo. This tour comes on the heels of their reunion announcement and the release of their latest album From Zero. The fans have been wild since this news broke, and for those of us in Australia, the thought of seeing Linkin Park live is something we’ve been waiting on for too long.
A New Chapter with Emily Armstrong
Part of the excitement surrounding this tour is the band’s new frontwoman, Emily Armstrong, who has stepped into the shoes of the late Chester Bennington. Ever since the announcement that Armstrong, known for her powerhouse vocals with Dead Sara, would be taking on lead vocals, fans have had mixed reactions. Some have argued that classic songs should have been left untouched, but overall, the support has been overwhelmingly positive. Armstrong’s fiery presence and vocal range have breathed new life into the band, and she’s managed to win over many longtime fans who were skeptical at first.
Mike Shinoda himself acknowledges the impact of this new era, saying:
“Getting back out on the road has been incredible. The fans’ support is overwhelming, and we’re ready to take this energy even further around the world. From Zero is a new chapter for us, and we’re so excited to share it with everyone on a bigger scale.”
For Aussie fans, who’ve been starved of major international tours, this potential visit would be a chance not only to see Linkin Park again but to witness the band’s evolution with Armstrong at the helm.
From Tokyo to Jakarta – and Maybe Sydney?
Linkin Park’s schedule has them playing the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo on February 11 and 12, followed by a Jakarta date on February 16. Then… silence. With seven weeks open until their next confirmed performance at the Sick New World Festival in Las Vegas on April 12, it’s hard not to think that an Aussie tour is in the works. It’s the kind of gap that usually signals negotiations with promoters, and anyone familiar with tour routing knows Australia’s next in line after Asia.
If it happens, this would be one of the biggest tours to hit our shores in recent years. Australian rock fans are no strangers to disappointment as we’ve watched local festivals crumble under financial pressures, leaving us without the massive lineups we used to take for granted. Seeing Linkin Park with the lineup they’re bringing would be like stepping back into a golden era we thought we’d lost.
A Global Tour Like No Other
Linkin Park isn’t pulling any punches on this tour. They’re bringing out a stacked lineup of support acts, including Queens of the Stone Age, JPEGMAFIA, AFI, Architects, Spiritbox, Grandson, Jean Dawson, and Pvris. It’s a lineup fit for a festival, and it’ll be wild to see who makes the cut for the Australian leg if it comes to fruition.
