Upcoming Linkin Park dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
Who Linkin Park is today
Linkin Park is the alternative rock band formed in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996, and a ticket now buys the reunited lineup that returned in September 2024: Mike Shinoda on vocals, guitar and keyboards, Emily Armstrong as co-lead vocalist, Joe Hahn on turntables, Dave Farrell on bass and Colin Brittain on drums. The band plays arenas and stadiums, and the set mixes the 2000s catalog with songs from From Zero, the album released on November 15, 2024.
The band's sound blends alternative rock, nu metal (a hard rock style built on down-tuned guitars and hip-hop rhythms) and electronic production. Its debut, Hybrid Theory (2000), is certified Diamond by the RIAA (10 million US units) and has sold about 30 million copies worldwide; Meteora (2003) added roughly 20 million more. Linkin Park has won two Grammy Awards, for "Crawling" (Best Hard Rock Performance) and for "Numb/Encore" with Jay-Z (Best Rap/Sung Collaboration), and has sold more than 100 million records.
The hiatus and the 2024 return
Co-lead vocalist Chester Bennington died on July 20, 2017, and the band stopped touring. Drummer Rob Bourdon later left. On September 5, 2024, Linkin Park announced its return with Armstrong and Brittain, and opened the From Zero World Tour six days later.
Founding guitarist Brad Delson remains a member but withdrew from touring to focus on work behind the scenes; Alex Feder plays guitar in his place on the road. If you are buying for the original lineup, know that the live band is not the one from the Hybrid Theory years. Reviews of the return were strong: The Guardian gave a 2024 London show four stars, and From Zero and "The Emptiness Machine" were nominated at the 68th Grammy Awards.
What the From Zero show is like
The From Zero World Tour set is built in five parts, labeled Inception, Creation, Collapse, Kintsugi and a closing Resolution encore. Older songs such as "Numb", "In the End" and "What I've Done" sit alongside the new material, and the encore closes on "Bleed It Out". "In the End" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it is the song most of the room will be waiting for.
Shinoda handles the rap verses and much of the crowd interaction, while Armstrong takes the melodic and screamed vocal lines Bennington once sang. Expect a loud, singalong crowd that spans fans who bought the first album in 2000 and fans who came in through the new songs.
Notable Linkin Park tours, dated
The tours below are documented in the sources for this page.
- Projekt Revolution: the touring festival concept the band created and headlined several times during its first era.
- From Zero World Tour, 2024 run: opened September 11, 2024, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, a short arena run across four continents that ended November 16, 2024, in Sao Paulo.
- From Zero World Tour, 2025: a stadium and arena tour that included the band's first Wembley Stadium show. The North American arena leg ran from Austin's Moody Center on April 26, 2025, through Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on September 24, 2025, with stops at Barclays Center, TD Garden, United Center, Intuit Dome and others, plus Daytona International Speedway on May 17.

Billboard data cited on the tour's Wikipedia page counted about 2.2 million fans across its first 80 reported shows. Support acts across the tour included Spiritbox, Sleep Token, AFI, Architects and Poppy.
Where to sit at a Linkin Park concert
Linkin Park has played both arenas and stadiums in this era, and the stage layout is not the same everywhere. Check the seating map attached to each event before you buy, and match your seat to the layout.
- General admission floor: the closest and loudest option, with a dense, moving crowd near the stage. It is standing room, so shorter fans in the back half often watch the screens.
- Lower-level sideline seats near the stage: the best reserved seats for most fans. They are close, raised above the floor crowd and give a clear look at both vocalists.
- Lower-level seats facing the stage: farther away but square to the full production and usually near the soundboard, where the mix is most balanced.
- Upper level: the value tier. Front rows near center beat high corner seats.
For an end-stage show (the stage at one end of the floor), avoid sections right beside or behind the stage unless the listing describes the view. If a date uses a center stage, the geometry changes: every side faces the band at some point, so lower-level seats on any side are good, and the floor ring closest to the stage is the premium area.
How demand for Linkin Park tickets behaves
The 2024 return came after seven years without a tour, and the first shows were small in number for a band of this size, which pushed demand hard at each on-sale. A few patterns hold:
- Presales do most of the work. Fan-club, artist and card-member presales typically run before the public on-sale, and floor tickets tend to go first.
- Limited runs move fastest. Short legs with few dates per region, such as the 2024 opening run, concentrate demand into fewer seats.
- Weekends and big markets sell first. Friday and Saturday shows and the largest metro areas usually sell through before midweek dates.
- Resale tracks the calendar. Prices on the secondary market can sit above or below face value and often shift in the final week as sellers adjust.
Every order on GoodSeats is backed by a 100% guarantee. For tour announcements, check the band's official tour page; when checked on October 1, 2026, it listed no upcoming shows.
