Linkin Park Australia Teasers

[LPLStaff]

August 7 EDIT: Linkin Park has teased an August 11, 2025 date with a trailer featuring Australia, likely hinting at a tour announcement.

 

Teasers have begun to pop up across Australia for Linkin Park, which has not seen the band perform there since 2013. So far, teasers have appeared in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney.

 

While Good Things Festival takes place in all three of those cities, the Internet says Tool is strongly rumored to headline the festival, but Linkin Park's name is being thrown around as well due to Good Things announcing on August 12. The dates could be a complete coincidence - Good Things announcing the 12th and Linkin Park announcing the 11th - or could be related. 

 

The one thing that would make Good Things odd for the band is the fact that it is allegedly 75 to 90 minute headline slots with all three shows occurring within three days. So far on the world tour, the band has not played three days in a row... leading us to think this is an actual Linkin Park headline tour.

 

With demand surging across the globe, it remains to be seen if the tour will visit stadiums for the first time in Australia or if the band will attempt multiple nights in arenas like they have done before. Other potential cities could include Adelaide, Perth, and New Zealand's Auckland - or a location in which they have not visited before.

 

What do you think?

 

 

It appears that an Australian return for the band is imminent - no mention of New Zealand yet, home to one of the iconic Linkin Park Underground Summits, but let's see what the announcement has in store on August 11.

I’ll be particularly excited if these pop up in a city that isn’t on the Good Things Festival dates

is there a real reason why many many artists don't consider Australia when going on a World Tour?

Yes.

 

As well as being an isolated nation, our capital cities and population are spaced quite far apart - it’s about a 3.5-4 hour flight Sydney (East Coast) to Perth (West Coast) - and the cost of travel diminishes the limited profits. Basically they’d have to play smaller shows, spaced apart, with limited chances at multiple nights. Many artists aren’t as overrated as (redacted) Swift and Ed (redacted), and can’t fill 50k seats over 2-3 nights to screaming teenagers and middle class housewives either.

 

We also have football games through March-September in most of our larger stadiums, and the code has first dibs on bookings for their schedule.

[LPLStaff]

It's expensive as shit to get gear from the U.S. down there and the country is very large - there needs to be a large payout financially to make it make sense.

If anyone sees any sign of a poster/billboard in Auckland let us know - holding out (deluded) hope the tour could stretch across the ditch to NZ

Have you checked the web as appears on the poster?:

If you fill Up the information I guess you'll receive news or whatever about LP.

You can join LPU there aswell.

BOO!

[LPLStaff]

What are we thinking for this tour?

 

Are they really going to do that festival that has allegedly 90 minute sets and it's 3 days in a row? Does that even make sense for them to do?

Or will they do larger stadium shows in the 3 cities on their own with good support acts? It would be surprising if they don't venture to Adelaide and Perth and just keep it to 3 shows. And what about New Zealand? A lot of possibilities here. With a new era, they should do as much as they can since these fans haven't seen the band in so long.

I will stake everything I have in this world on them not playing Perth - even Taylor Swift didn’t play Perth on the Eras Tour, following massive negotiations with the state government.

 

It’s the self promotion teasers that have people speculating over here that they’re playing their own thing, and not Good Things - or at least in conjunction. Tool appear to be forerunners for the headline act on Good Things, but LP could of course still get top billing on a co-headline festival.

 

It makes sense to me for them to play a festival here, but not ONLY a festival. Maybe headline Adelaide and Melbourne sideshows, play GT Melb/Syd/Bris, then back to Sydney for a headline sideshow - Brisbane won’t get a festival show and a separate headline.

[linkindan]

Also, at Good Things 2024, Korn played 75 minutes in the headline slot.

 

I’m not paying AU$240 for a 75 minute LP set - especially after adding on top of that the 2 hour train each way, hotel and dog boarding costs. PLUS the fact I don’t give a fuck about any of the other acts.

[LPLStaff]

August 11 announcement it looks like.

 

If the band is teasing this themselves like this, I'm leaning towards a headline tour and not the festivals. They don't tease festivals themselves like this.

 

 

 

[Xero21]

Any chance this is a revival of a certain festival tour? I'm assuming not but this is pretty hype for a tour announcement.

[cjv1991]

Damn there is no outline of New Zealand in that teaser… lame

Live nation tour promoter shared the Video. So that 99% rules out Good Things. 

Good Things is run by Destroy all Lines promoter

I wonder if they will include NZ as part of this tour despite the map outline is only that of Australia? Last they’ve been down under was 2012 and they played in Auckland before heading to the Aussie cities.

In 2012, Linkin Park were not in Australia and New Zealand, but in 2013 they were on the Australian and New Zealand Tour 2013 from February 21 to March 4, 2013.

I always thought that the studio version of their live show intro with the mix of Mike's ITE rapping and TEM singing creats a great atmosphere.

[marzo23]

Yes thanks for correcting me. This is my wishful thinking that they will announce NZ eventhough the map shown in the video is only Australia.
