50+ NEW SHOWS ANNOUNCED FOR
‘FROM ZERO’ WORLD TOUR 2025, INCLUDING TOKYO AND JAKARTA
November 15th, 2024 – Manila, Philippines – LINKIN PARK – Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain – proudly present their much-anticipated new album, ‘FROM ZERO’. Listen HERE via Warner Records.
To celebrate the release, LINKIN PARK will livestream Act 1 from tonight’s show at Allianz Park in São Paulo, Brazil. The livestream begins at 3:30pm PT / 6:30pm ET at http://lprk.co/saopaulo. The band will return to the road for the second iteration of the From Zero World Tour in 2025. Highlights of the upcoming run include the band’s first stadium shows in Tokyo and Mexico City since 2017, a return to Jakarta after 13 years, where they’ll perform both new hits like “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy Is The Crown” alongside iconic anthems spanning their 20+ year career. Additional ticketing and venue details for Jakarta will be forthcoming. Special guests Queens of the Stone Age, Spiritbox, AFI, Architects, grandson, Jean Dawson, JPEGMAFIA, and PVRIS will join on select dates. Check out the full confirmed itinerary below, and get details on all pre-sales and on-sales at http://fromzero.linkinpark.
Additionally available until November 21 only is the ‘From Zero’ (Expanded Edition) digital deluxe album, featuring the full album plus live versions of three From Zero songs recorded in Los Angeles, London and Paris, along with 46 pages of imagery, handwritten lyrics. ‘FROM ZERO’ marks the group’s first full-length offering since 2017, and officially launches the next era of LINKIN PARK.
Among many highlights, ‘FROM ZERO’ features the new single “Two Faced”. On Wednesday, the band surprise-released the hard-hitting music video helmed by Hahn to accompany the song. Watch HERE. Holding nothing back, it reups the instantly recognizable elements of the band’s signature sound, tempering grainy distortion with chaotic turntable scratching, airtight rhymes, and a cathartic chorus. A gritty riff anchors the track as Shinoda deftly raps on the verses and Armstrong alternates between an arresting refrain and a jarring scream, “I can’t hear myself think.”

Elsewhere on the album, “Casualty” teems with unbridled aggression. A militant groove-laden guitar crunch seethes atop the breakneck-paced punk beat. Meanwhile, Shinoda and Armstrong lock into a fiery back-and-forth capped off by an unapologetic chant, “I won’t be your casualty.” Then, there’s “IGYEIH”, which hinges on the incendiary interplay of unpredictable instrumentation and undeniable vocals. The album concludes with a moment of stark honesty on “Good Things Go”. From the jump, Shinoda admits, “Feels like it’s rained in my head for a hundred days.” Awash in raw feeling, it crescendos towards one last epic exhale.
LINKIN PARK ignited this season with “The Emptiness Machine”. It has exploded as the #1 rock song in the country and the biggest rock song of 2024. It made a rapid climb to #1 on both the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart and Alternative Airplay Chart. In total, the band have scored a staggering 13 #1 entries on the latter chart (the second-most in history) with three in the last eighteen months.
Thus far, “The Emptiness Machine” has gathered a quarter-of-a-billion global streams and counting. “Heavy Is The Crown” followed fast in the same path, and earlier this month the band delivered a scorching performance of the League of Legends Worlds anthem at the 2024 World Championship opening ceremony at the O2 Arena in London. The band set the final stage for ‘FROM ZERO’ with the Emily-led “Over Each Other”, which Revolver christened “an emotional rocker.”
