Linkin Park to Perform in Adelaide, Australia in March 2026

[LPLStaff]

Linkin Park has just announced a new show in Adelaide, Australia on March 12, 2026.

 

This show fills a gap in the tour between the Melbourne and Sydney two night stands.

 

 

This show brings the New Zealand/Australia Tour to 8 shows across the continent, really just missing Perth but it looks like the band may not include Perth in this return. As mentioned previously, this will be Linkin Park's first tour of Australia and New Zealand since 2013.

 

The show at Adelaide Entertainment Centre will be Linkin Park's fourth in Adelaide, and third at this venue. The previous arena shows took place in 2007 and 2010, with a Soundwave show taking place in 2013. 

 

We're looking forward to the band's tour down under in 2026 - who is planning on attending?

I mean, I’m stunned.

 

Not as stunned as the Adelaide and Perth fans who bought tickets to east coast shows, but absolutely stunned.

I’d have been surprised if they announced Adelaide WITH Brisbane/Melbourne/Sydney, but MONTHS AFTER? Wow.

Seems like they kept the dates open to be flexible enough to see if they needed another show in Melbourne or Sydney, or needed to add one somewhere else. They are doing this a lot lately and have done it before - Canberra 2010 was even announced 3 weeks before the show. It was safe to say the original 3 shows were going to turn into at least 5-6 by the end of it, or more. The dates were like the 3rd to the 14th at first which is a ton of time for shows.

 

Glad to see they are adding Adelaide as so many complaints mentioned it on their social media.

 

Perth must really be difficult/expensive to get stuff to. Hopefully they play it again one day.

I have tickets for the 6 Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney shows and I play on buying tickets to Adelaide tomorrow do you think this will be all the shows they will do now. There isn’t anymore room to add extra shows unless it’s before Brisbane which wood be Perth but then they would be flying to Perth then to Brisbane then going back halfway across Australia to Melbourne and Adelaide.

You just answered your own question.

Polaris for support Australia and NZ

[LPLStaff]

You're saying you'd like to see them as support? They aren't announced for those shows yet.

Dates for Adelaide and Auckland are marked with a "*" on the poster, with the caption "support artist yet to be announced". Maybe different ones for these dates cuz' they announced it later?

I got bamboozled with that when they revealed the world tour on their comeback last year and they had Sleep Token and Bad Omens on the poster. Took me a lot to see the "*".

They announced them in the poster attached to the email adding Adelaide - “With Special Guest POLARIS” above all the dates of Aus/NZ

[LPLStaff]

This is in the email. Both emails. It says Polaris is not on those 2 shows.
