Linkin Park Add Show in New Zealand for March 2026

[RogueSoul]

Kiwis, your cries have been heard - Linkin Park will be making their triumphant return to New Zealand on March 18, 2026 in Auckland at the Spark Arena! This adds another stop to the Australian Leg (which is now the Australia & New Zealand Leg) which stops in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney throughout the rest of the month.

 

 

LPU Legacy Presale: Monday, December 8 @ 12pm NZST

LPU Passport Presale: Monday, December 8 @ 1pm NZST

General Sale: Friday, December 12 @ 1pm NZST

 

This will be Linkin Park's fourth show ever in the country and city, and the first since 2013's LPU Summit in Auckland - 13 years since their last show! With the From Zero World Tour getting longer yet again, 2026 is looking like a big year yet again - who's going to try and get tickets?

Hmm do I sell my tickets to both Sydney dates in exchange for the one date closer to home? Wonder what the chances of a second Auckland date are…

Not sure I’m in a similar position myself. I said to myself a few months ago if an nz show is announced I’ll go buy the ticket but that would be my last show

No one ever mentions what happened to the Old Zealand…

According to google it’s somewhere in the southwestern Netherlands 😇

Might become their longest tour?

100 shows? Surely Hybrid Theory, Meteora and MTM had more? Or no?

 

Wasn't Hybrid Theory like 200?

 

Anyway, nice to see a NZ show. They should always play Auckland whenever they go down to Australia. Noticed that these shows are in arenas like the U.S. unlike Europe, Asia, and South America. Hopefully the band's popularity keeps growing in Australia and NZ and they can move to larger venues and also do more cities in the future.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Even Taylor Swift didn’t play Perth or Adelaide on the Eras Tour, unfortunately no chance for LP fans on the west coast/ central regions. And there’s no way they play our 45k seat stadiums, without being the AFL Grand Final artist (which I’m surprised they haven’t been TBH - we had Snoop Dogg this year 😒)

Are you saying this genre isn't that popular in the region?

In NZ, Foo played Christchurch and Wellington. In Australia, they played Perth, Adelaide, and Geelong.

Both bands play similar sized venues globally, but Foo is a bit larger in the U.S. than LP is - LP may be slightly larger in some European markets than Foo is (Germany, France).

 

Not sure who else to compare to as Coldplay and Sheeran are a different genre/appeal than LP.

It’s not the genre, it’s the band. After MTM their popularity dropped massively out here.

 

Playing Geelong is like playing Orange County - you’re in LA, but not LA.
