Linkin Park announce first Australian shows in 12 years

Linkin Park’s epic From Zero World Tour is continuing to extend all across the globe – and next year, the band will be making their long-awaited return to Australia.

For the first time since 2013 travelling fest Soundwave, LP will be heading down under for three shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in March 2026, bringing last year’s mega comeback album From Zero with them.

In our review of the band’s headline show at Rock for People earlier in the summer, we said that, “Linkin Park are on defiant form as they deliver a career-spanning set. Somewhere I Belong, One Step Closer, Numb… most of the hits are present and correct, along with confident airings of From Zero material. Of the latter, Two Faced stands out for its rap-punk verses and excellent chorus, while Let You Fade and Heavy Is The Crown are deemed sufficiently potent to form half of the encore. Up From The Bottom, with Emily Armstrong on guitar, is another fresh highlight.

“Mike Shinoda remains the glue that holds everything together, his MCing skills and onstage experience placing him right at the heart of the show. His good-hearted charisma could power proceedings on its own, but the whole band remain a tight machine, cranking out tunes from the back catalogue with little tweaks to ensure a distinctive live experience. The love and nostalgia felt for this lot is tangible, and while the cynics might find their emotional scope painted with rather broad brush strokes, there’s no denying its effectiveness.”
