Linkin Park will bring reunion tour to Australia in 2026

• Linkin Park will bring their reunion tour to Australia in March 2026, with three shows locked in on the east coast.
• The US rockers will play Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena at the end of the brief tour.
• Tickets go on sale August 22.

Linkin Park have announced their first Australian tour since 2013, with presenters Live Nation and Triple M today confirming the legendary rock band for three shows in March 2026. It will be the first time we’ve seen the millennial icons since their revival with new vocalist Emily Armstrong.

The band’s unimpeachable legacy will trail behind them as original members Mike Shinoda, Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell and Joe Hahn, along with Armstrong, kick off the tour on March 3 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. The Californian rockers will then pop by Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on March 8 before wrapping up on March 14 at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.

“Getting back on the road has been incredible,” said Mike Shinoda in a statement on the tour.

“The fans’ support is overwhelming, and we’re ready to bring this energy to Australia.”

Armstrong officially came on to fill Chester’s sizeable boots in September 2024, and while initial criticism dulled expectations, From Zero, Linkin Park’s first album since 2017’s One More Light, still slotted in at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart and received positive reviews.

Long-time fans have since embraced the new line-up and so this announcement has been hotly anticipated since rumours about a Linkin Park Australian tour began circulating earlier this year.

“From Zero is a new chapter for us, and we’re so excited to share it with everyone on a bigger scale,” said Shinoda.

With new songs like “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy is the Crown” hailing a return to the nu-metal sound Linkin Park helped refine, it’s looking like this will be one of the biggest and most exciting tours of next year.
