The rock world is ablaze once again — Linkin Park has officially announced the extension of their massively successful “From Zero” Tour, set to storm across Europe, Asia, and South America throughout the summer of 2026. Following a sold-out North American leg that reignited fans’ passion for the band’s fusion of rock, hip-hop, and raw emotion, the newly extended tour promises to deliver the same intensity, nostalgia, and innovation that have made Linkin Park one of the most beloved bands of the 21st century.
This next chapter of the “From Zero” Tour — a name inspired by the band’s earliest days before fame — celebrates both the past and the future of Linkin Park. It’s a moving tribute to Chester Bennington’s legacy, while simultaneously showcasing the creative evolution of the band’s surviving members, who continue to push boundaries and redefine their sound.
A Tribute and a Rebirth
The announcement came during a surprise livestream from the band’s rehearsal studio in Los Angeles, where Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon confirmed that the 2026 tour will feature brand-new arrangements, immersive visuals, and collaborations with some of the biggest names in modern rock and electronic music.
“This tour is more than a continuation,” said Shinoda. “It’s a thank-you — to every fan who kept our music alive. It’s about remembering where we started, and celebrating how far we’ve come.”
Linkin Park’s return to the stage in 2025 marked an emotional moment for fans around the world. The band’s live performances have evolved into multi-sensory experiences, blending the nostalgic power of classics like “Numb”, “In the End”, and “Breaking the Habit” with new tracks that reflect their growth as artists.
The Tour Experience: High Energy, Deep Emotion
The “From Zero” Tour’s European leg kicks off in Berlin, Germany — a city symbolic of the band’s international breakthrough — before moving through London, Paris, Milan, and Madrid. Fans can expect jaw-dropping visual production, cutting-edge sound design, and heartfelt tributes to Chester Bennington, whose voice and message continue to resonate deeply within the global music community.
A centerpiece of the show is a digital-visual tribute called “Echoes of Chester”, which uses AI-generated light projections and archived concert footage to celebrate the late frontman’s life and artistry. The emotional moment has reportedly left audiences “speechless and tearful,” according to early tourgoers.
“Chester’s presence is felt every night,” said guitarist Brad Delson. “We perform with his spirit guiding us. The crowd sings his parts louder than we ever could — it’s beautiful.”
Fan Reaction and Cultural Impact
Fans have flooded social media with messages of excitement and gratitude. Hashtags like #FromZeroTour2026 and #LinkinParkForever have already begun trending worldwide. Critics are calling the tour “a masterclass in emotional connection,” praising how the band manages to balance explosive energy with intimate vulnerability.
Music journalist Elena Ruiz described the performances as “a reminder that grief and healing can coexist through art.” She added, “Linkin Park’s resilience has turned loss into legacy, and pain into power.”
The Future of Linkin Park
While Shinoda has hinted that a new album may accompany the tour, he’s been careful to emphasize that the focus remains on live connection and authenticity. “We’re not trying to replace anything,” he explained. “We’re just sharing the next part of the story — one show, one song, one crowd at a time.”
As the “From Zero” Tour expands globally, Linkin Park continues to prove that their influence transcends genres, generations, and even tragedy. Their evolution from nu-metal pioneers to emotionally resonant rock icons has made them a symbol of endurance, hope, and unity.
In a world hungry for genuine connection, Linkin Park’s 2026 tour reminds fans that music is more than sound — it’s survival.
