Fan club presales begin Friday, while general ticket sales kick off on Saturday. Head over to LinkinPark.com for all the details and to snag your tickets before they sell out.
But that's not all—Linkin Park is also shaking things up with some new additions to their lineup. Emily Armstrong, the powerhouse vocalist from the alternative rock band Dead Sara, is coming aboard as a co-vocalist. Fans of Dead Sara will know Armstrong’s raw, dynamic voice, and it’s set to bring a new edge to Linkin Park’s sound. Plus, rock producer Colin Brittain is stepping in as the band’s new drummer. Brittain’s expertise behind the kit promises to add a fresh, energetic pulse to their music.
The addition of Armstrong and Brittain comes after a series of informal studio sessions with Linkin Park. According to Mike Shinoda, the band was thrilled with their contributions. “The more we worked with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoyed their world-class talents, their company, and the things we created,” Shinoda said. “We feel really empowered with this new lineup and the vibrant and energized new music we’ve made together.” It’s clear that the band is excited about this new chapter, and fans should be too!
This tour also marks the release of Linkin Park’s eighth studio album, "From Zero," set to drop on November 15. This will be the band’s first new album since "One More Light," which was released in 2017, shortly before Bennington’s death. The upcoming album promises to be a powerful and emotional journey, reflecting both the band’s evolution and the impact of Bennington’s legacy.
The lead single from "From Zero," titled "The Emptiness Machine," is already available, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. If the single is any indication, the album will be packed with the kind of intense, thought-provoking music that has always been a hallmark of Linkin Park’s work.
Bennington, who led Linkin Park with his distinctive voice and emotional depth since their debut album "Hybrid Theory" in 2000, passed away in July 2017. His death was a significant blow to the band and their fans. Following this tragedy, Linkin Park took an extended hiatus, grappling with their loss and the future of the band. The release of "From Zero" and the upcoming tour are significant steps in their journey of healing and reinvention.
As Linkin Park prepares to step back into the spotlight, the new lineup and album offer a promising glimpse into the band's future. With Armstrong’s powerful vocals and Brittain’s dynamic drumming, the band is not only honoring Bennington’s memory but also embracing a new era of creativity and energy.
So, if you’re a fan of Linkin Park, now’s the time to get excited. The "From Zero World Tour" is shaping up to be an unforgettable experience, and "From Zero" is sure to be an album that captures the band's ongoing evolution and resilience.
