Mike Shinoda, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, Emily Armstrong, and Colin Brittain will bring their renewed creative force to Australian arenas for the first time since 2013.
The From Zero World Tour follows a landmark year for the band, marking a reinvigorated chapter built on momentum, reflection, and raw energy.
Fans can expect a show that balances emotional weight with explosive production, as Linkin Park revisit their past while confidently stepping forward.
The tour celebrates the band’s latest album From Zero, with new tracks like ‘The Emptiness Machine’ and ‘Heavy Is The Crown’ already proving themselves as modern Linkin Park staples.
The latter, released as the official League of Legends World Championship Anthem, signals the band’s sharpened edge, fast, heavy, and unmistakably anthemic.
These new songs sit comfortably alongside classics, reinforcing why Linkin Park continue to shape the sound of modern rock.
Australian demand has been overwhelming.
Initially announced in August, the tour quickly expanded with additional dates added in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.
Adelaide fans were later rewarded with a special headline show at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Thursday, March 12, making it one of the most comprehensive national runs of the band’s career.
Sydney shows will take place at Qudos Bank Arena, located in the heart of Sydney Olympic Park, approximately 17km west of the CBD.
The venue is easily accessible via public transport, with Lidcombe and Olympic Park stations servicing the precinct.
For those driving, parking is managed by Sydney Olympic Park, offering over 10,000 onsite car spaces.
The P1 Car Park, directly adjoining Qudos Bank Arena, accommodates more than 3,300 vehicles, with additional parking options within a 10-minute walk.
Complimentary shuttle buses operate on major event days, and fans are strongly encouraged to pre-book parking before midnight the day prior to guarantee a space.
This tour’s setlist is a carefully constructed journey through Linkin Park’s evolution. Tickets are on sale now.
