Or they are adding more than expected in some cities and they need to adjust accordingly? Who knows - totally unknown for now.

Linkin Park has announced that on Thursday, March 27 at 4pm PT, they will reveal a redone South American Tour for fall 2025. Previously announced with the From Zero World Tour announcement last year, only dates and cities were revealed without confirmed venues or on-sale information. It appears the tour was still being booked at that time. With shows being removed from the band's website this past week, it looks like some shuffling has occurred (like 2012) and we will see redone dates for the tour. We'll see what they announce but as of today, this is the largest tour in South America that Linkin Park has ever performed - with shows in Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil.

"In this special episode of Women Who Make Q101, Lauren sits down with Emily Armstrong for an exclusive conversation about her journey, creative process, and the experiences that have shaped her career. Tune in as Emily shares insights, inspiration, and what it's like to be one of the influential women making waves at Q101."

Why is it the fault of the label if the band didn't want to put more than 10 songs on the album? They have whatever creative control they want in terms of the album length. They did 10 songs on OML and didn't release Friendly Fire for a long time - the other full songs from that era aren't even out yet. They kept Meteora at 10 real songs and an instrumental and an intro, and didn't release Lost or More the Victim for 2 decades. If LP wanted this song the album, they could have put it on the album lol. Of course there is big label stuff going on with them on every major decision they make but they have been pretty transparent with the label letting them do whatever they want to do on the actual studio albums, even going so far as the band picking the singles if they want to.

They just said at the iHeartRadio Awards that they will be performing this song live. Awesome.

New Divide? If it's a From Zero Deluxe or something then it's still from the album in a way lol

Because it's better to be sure about something these days; we previously in the early days of the website post a ton of rumors, leaks, etc and as a result there was a good bit of misinformation around. It isn't solely about that, though. The band does not ASK us to refrain from doing that, but out of respect we choose to do so because as LPLive has grown since 2006, they (the band themselves, especially Mike, and their management team and label) have been nothing but extremely kind to us when they honestly don't have to have any relationship with us at all. They have helped us with information throughout different points in their career and we have a great relationship with their team, especially Adam, Lorenzo, etc. We just don't see any reason we need to upset anyone by blasting leaks. For the same reasons, that is why we refrained from ever mentioning Emily publicly before the reveal, etc. We have lots of conversations internally about what we should say or not say and we try to be as professional (we are just a fan site, of course) as we can with it all. As we've aged, we've preferred to let the band roll their own campaigns out and we report on them as they happen. Of course people have heard the song with the leak, but we still truly don't know what it is for or really anything else about it. Great track. Let's see what happens from here.

Following teasers over the last week or so online, Linkin Park has posted "Up From the Bottom" on social media, which is likely indicating it is the title of the new song they will be releasing. As far as what this song is a part of, or really IS, we are not sure. The band posted a photo of the six of them in the studio today with the (likely) song title and so far, that's really all we have after the teasers.

The studio clip is the same chord progression as the MIDI, right?

Linkin Park has released a new video of "Overfow" from Monterrey, Mexico on February 5, 2025. This is one of the latest songs to debut off of From Zero and comes from the third performance of the track. But if you pay attention in the video, a link to https://download.linkinpark.com/ pops up where you can download a new MIDI file titled "UP." It looks like the teaser campaign for the band's new song has begun.

Linkin Park has posted a video of Colin playing "The Emptiness Machine" on drums. With videos like this being quite rare in the LP world, this is a welcome surprise. Notably, the song is a completely different mix from what was released on From Zero. Check out Emily doubling the vocals at the end of the song, but also the absence of sound when the song cuts out as she sings the bridge, and the vocal effects used throughout. What do you think?

How is it a "stunt"? Wouldn't we have literally loved that for every album? Meteora with Lost, Fighting Myself and More the Victim? Minutes to Midnight with No Roads Left, Across the Line, Blackbirds, What We Don't Know, etc?

Love Guilty All the Same and A Line in the Sand.

As everyone knows by now, Linkin Park at the end of their latest 2025 LPTV tour episode teased a new song. Mike and Emily are seen in footage from Mike's home studio in Los Angeles as Emily enters the vocal booth and starts singing over an instrumental fans have not heard before. This episode came exactly six months to the day of Linkin Park's comeback and comes over 100 days after the release of From Zero. Mike has previously spoken about the length of From Zero, saying the band deliberately kept it short so fans would want to listen to it several times in a row. Of course this essentially confirms that more songs were recorded, at least partially, during the album sessions. On Instagram Live in September 2024, Colin said, "There’s also a couple of songs that we haven't released yet that may or may not come out next year, that we're still working on, they are really amazing." He added that these other songs have great lyrics. Within a month of these comments, in October 2024, the band was posting on social media that they were back in the studio recording more new music. So, at this point, more new music is not too surprising but what is surprising is the timing of it and that it could be coming soon. Mike already posted a link on his Instagram Story about the LPTV with a side eye emoji. So what could the song be for? Recent trends in music have had bands release "Deluxe Editions" or "Tour Editions" of albums during major touring years, after the release of the main album. This could be a possibility. With Linkin Park, anything could happen - a single, an EP, or more. Currently the only known thing on the horizon for fans in 2025 is the release of the Brazil 2024 show in theaters at some point, which is still unknown. This will mark the first standalone live release by LP from the new era of the band. Rumors from Brazilian fans at the shows say the band's crew mentioned a possible documentary about Linkin Park as well. As far as "known unknown" songs (songs we know exist because the band has mentioned them, but that we have not heard) from the From Zero era, Emily mentioned singing on two demos titled 'Unshatter' and 'Vertigo', but these are likely much older demos as Emily mentioned they are among some of the first songs she sang... with 'Vertigo' dating back to around 2019. She also mentioned that she was recording a song titled 'Breathing Underwater' with Linkin Park when Mike, Joe, and Dave brought her into a room to tell her they'd like her to sing with them at some upcoming concerts. Not a lot of song titles from the era are currently known, so it is likely this could be something completely unknown to fans. So, what do you think? What would you like to see them do? We will keep you updated on all news and information regarding this new song and its release as it happens.
