Linkin Park Returns to Australia for First Tour in Over a Decade with New Lead Singer
Hey, did you hear the big news about Linkin Park? After a long wait, they’ve officially announced their comeback tour in Australia — their first since 2013! What makes this even more exciting is that it’s the first tour with their new lead singer, Emily Armstrong, who joined the band last year.
So, the tour is being presented by Live Nation and Triple M, and it’s kicking off on March 3rd at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Then, they’ll hit the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on March 8th and wrap up at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on March 14th. It’s a pretty big deal because this marks not only their return to Australia but also a fresh chapter in their journey as a band.

Mike Shinoda, one of the band’s founding members, shared that getting back on the road has been incredible for them. He mentioned how overwhelming the fans’ support has been and how pumped they are to bring that energy to Australia. Their latest album, From Zero , which dropped after their 2017 release One More Light , has already made waves, debuting at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart. It’s clear the band is moving forward while honoring their past.
There was some controversy around their reunion, especially concerning the family of their late frontman, Chester Bennington, and the decision to bring Emily Armstrong onboard. But despite all that, the band has been focused on their music and the future. At their first show with the new lineup, Shinoda told the crowd that this wasn’t about erasing their history but about starting a new chapter. He said they loved writing the new songs and were very excited to share them with everyone.
Interestingly, Shinoda also talked about performing without Chester on The Tonight Show . He explained that the band never intended to just “bring the band back” or simply “find a singer” to replace Chester. It’s been more about evolving and respecting where they are now.
Tickets for the tour go on general sale on August 22nd, but there are various presales happening throughout the week before that. If you’re a fan or just curious to see how this legendary band is reshaping themselves, this tour is definitely one to watch. It feels like Linkin Park is not just making a comeback but rewriting their story in a powerful, meaningful way.
