Linkin Park Announce 2026 Australian Tour

It’s official: Linkin Park are coming back to Australia for the first time since 2013 – and for the first time ever with new co-vocalist Emily Armstrong front and centre.

The nu-metal titans will kick off the three-date arena run at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Monday, 3rd March, before hitting Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Saturday, 8th March and wrapping up at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Friday, 14th March.

Linkin Park – ‘Heavy Is the Crown’

LP’s current world tour tour follows the band’s emotional revival last year, marking their first shows since the passing of iconic frontman Chester Bennington in 2017.

Armstrong – also known for fronting LA rock outfit Dead Sara – officially joined the lineup last September, with the band’s new album From Zero debuting at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

“Getting back out on the road has been incredible,” Mike Shinoda shared in a press statement. “The fans’ support is overwhelming, and we’re ready to bring this energy to Australia… From Zero is a new chapter for us, and we’re so excited to share it with everyone on a bigger scale.”

Their reunion tour has been met with both celebration and some controversy, but Shinoda has been clear about the band’s intentions.

“It is not about erasing the past,” he told fans back at their first show with Armstrong. “It is about starting this new chapter into the future and coming out here for each and every one of you.”

Interestingly, the Aussie dates they’ve announced are pretty spaced out, suggesting the band are anticipating these shows to sell out and possibly have some more up their sleeve to potentially add to the run.

For now, the dates are East Coast only. You can suss all the info and pre-sale details down below.
