Linkin Park just made many people’s dreams come true: They’re back.
The iconic rock band originally formed in 1996 have been on an unofficial hiatus since the death of their frontman, Chester Bennington, in 2017.
As a result, it seemed like the band would never get back together to make new music – but we were wrong.
Linkin Park just confirmed a slew of new announcements. Beginning with the confirmation of their new frontwoman, Emily Armstrong from the band Dead Sara. On top of that, Colin Brittain has joined as a vocalist and drummer, replacing Rob Bourdon.
That’s not all, though. Linkin Park have also confirmed a new album, From Zero, will be released on November 15, 2024, with the first single, The Emptiness Machine, out right now. You can listen to that here.
To coincide with all of this exciting news, Linkin Park are going on a world tour /this month/.
And – yes, Brits – there’s a UK show taking place at London’s O2 Arena.

Speaking about the new era of Linkin Park, frontman and founder Mike Shinoda said: “Before LINKIN PARK, our first band name was Xero. This album title refers to both this humble beginning and the journey we’re currently undertaking. Sonically and emotionally, it is about past, present, and future—embracing our signature sound, but new and full of life.
“It was made with a deep appreciation for our new and longtime bandmates, our friends, our family, and our fans. We are proud of what LINKIN PARK has become over the years, and excited about the journey ahead.”
Shinoda went on: “The more we worked with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoyed their world-class talents, their company, and the things we created. We feel really empowered with this new lineup and the vibrant and energised new music we’ve made together. We’re weaving together the sonic touchpoints we’ve been known for and still exploring new ones.”
