Linkin Park announce massive 2025 world tour – including show at Wembley Stadium 

Linkin Park have announced details of a massive world tour for 2025, which includes a stop at London’s Wembley Stadium. Find all the details below.

The dates come after Linkin Park confirmed their comeback earlier this year, announcing new album ‘From Zero’, which will be their first since the passing of frontman Chester Bennington and features Emily Armstrong as frontwoman. The record is set for release on Friday (November 15) and you can pre-order/pre-save here.

Following the news of the upcoming album, Mike Shinoda and co. have shared a handful of singles – including ‘Heavy Is The Crown’, ‘The Emptiness Machine’, ‘Over Each Other’ and ‘Casualty’ – and embarked on a number of live shows.

Now, the band have confirmed details of a huge world tour, set to kick off next year.

The shows come as an extension of the ongoing ‘From Zero’ tour and will commence at the beginning of next year, hitting stadiums and arenas across North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Starting in Mexico City on January 31, the new schedule includes Linkin Park’s first stadium shows in Tokyo and Mexico City since 2017, as well as a return to Jakarta after 13 years. It also includes several notable festival appearances around the globe, including Sick New World, I-DAYS, Novarock, and more.

Just one UK show is lined up, taking place at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 28, and other European dates include stops in Paris, Frankfurt, Milan, Hannover, Arnhem and more.

Special guests for the extensive run of shows will be Queens of the Stone Age, Spiritbox, AFI, Architects, Grandson, Jean Dawson, JPEGMAFIA, and PVRIS. Tickets for US shows will go on sale next Thursday (November 21) at 12pm local time, and tickets for Europe and the UK dates commence on Friday (November 22) at 10am local time.

“Getting back out on the road has been incredible,” said Mike Shinoda in a new statement. “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.”

News of the tour arrives just hours after a mysterious post appeared on Wembley Stadium’s X/Twitter, hinting at an upcoming Linkin Park appearance. The account shared a photo of the external screens at the stadium reading “Counting From Zero” – ‘From Zero’ being the name of Linkin Park’s upcoming album.

Linkin Park announced their comeback in September with a livestream event, where they revealed the addition of Emily Armstrong (formerly of Dead Sara) as their new co-vocalist. Drummer Colin Brittain joined the band too, following the departure of founding member Rob Bourdon. Founding guitarist Brad Delson is also absent from the group’s comeback tour, but is still working with them behind the scenes – including participating in the creation of new music.

Later, Shinoda opened up about the “culture” of the new Linkin Park line-up, saying it feels like the “best we’ve had”.

There was also controversy around Armstrong joining the line-up, as it emerged that she seemingly had ties to Scientology and convicted rapist Danny Masterson. Armstrong later issued a statement “to clear the air”.

While some fans were divided over the comeback following Bennington’s death, as the band started the live shows, Shinoda explained that this version of Linkin Park was “not about erasing the past”. “We are thrilled to be back out here… it is about starting this new chapter into the future, and coming out here for each and every one of you,” he said.

He also explained why Linkin Park chose to keep their band name for the relaunched line-up, and added that he is “not sure” if they will make new recordings of older songs that feature the late frontman.

New album ‘From Zero’ was given a three-star review by NME, who described the record as having “an intriguing mix of sensational, knockout stadium rock and some perplexingly tired songwriting”.

“Crucially, ‘From Zero’ must be viewed as a reset, exemplified by its title which pays homage to the band’s former name: Xero. Therefore, any inevitable comparisons to their largely masterful discography must bear in mind the place from which ‘From Zero’ was born: an organic desire from Brad Delson, Dave Farrell, Joe Hahn and Shinoda to create together as Linkin Park once more,” it read.

“The global rock scene is surely a better place when Linkin Park are in it, and the elite moments on ‘From Zero’ – despite its shortcomings – confirm why.”
