Linkin Park reveals their first tour after Chester Bennington’s passing with a new female vocalist
Linkin Park is gearing up to hit the road again, marking their first tour since the loss of lead vocalist Chester Bennington — and they’re bringing some fresh talent along.
The Grammy-winning band, set to release their eighth album “From Zero,” will kick off the From Zero World Tour this fall, as announced by Live Nation. The tour will include stops in Los Angeles; New York; Hamburg in Germany; London; Seoul in South Korea; and Bogota in Colombia over six dates.
The tour is scheduled to begin on September 11 with a show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Early presales for fan club members start this Friday, with general ticket sales launching on Saturday. For more details, fans can check LinkinPark.com.
The band, including members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, and Joe Hahn, is also evolving its lineup for this new musical era.
Shinoda explained that both Armstrong and Brittain became part of the team after working informally in the studio with the band.
“The more time we spent creating with Emily and Colin, the more we began to appreciate their exceptional skills, their camaraderie, and the unique music we produced together,” Shinoda stated. “There’s a renewed sense of empowerment with this new team and the dynamic music we’ve crafted together.”
Bennington, who had led Linkin Park since their debut album “Hybrid Theory” was released in 2000, tragically passed away by suicide at 41 years old in July 2017. Following his passing, the band took a long break.
“From Zero” will be the band’s first studio album since 2017’s “One More Light,” slated for release on November 15. The first single, “The Emptiness Machine,” is already available.
