Yeah. Pit was over $300 - super expensive. The show sold pretty poorly. They undoubtedly did a ton of North American shows after 2 (almost fully) canceled tours in a row here. But in the future it would not be surprising to see like 10-15 show North American runs. Save the amount of shows for internationally where they are bigger than ever. Agreed. Makes way more sense financially and demand-wise to go elsewhere in early 2026. They are a massive European band and it makes sense to do the outdoor stadiums in the summer, but maybe they'll hit Australia/New Zealand and Asia or something - who knows.

The bridge is really good on this track. Solid song.

Linkin Park has announced a sale for the 2025 North American leg of the From Zero World Tour: "North America: "Up From The Bottom" tickets are now available on the From Zero World Tour. For $39.50 (plus fees & tax where applicable), you can request randomly assigned seats while supplies last. Submit your request by April 2, 2025 at 11:59pm PT at http://LinkinPark.Tickets."

Totally thought "Fortnite Festival" meant it was some kind of show with cartoons like the Gorillaz do, or something. Like an LP performance. lol

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. EDIT 3/17: The new tour dates for South America later this year have been confirmed! The band will be performing in stadiums throughout the continent. October 25, 2025: Distrito Verde, Bogotá, Colombia October 28, 2025: Estadio San Marcos, Lima, Peru October 31, 2025: Parque de la Ciudad, Buenos Aires, Argentina November 2, 2025: Estadio Nacional, Santiago, Chile November 5, 2025: Estádio Couto Perreira, Curitiba, Brazil November 8, 2025: Estádio Morumbis, São Paulo, Brazil November 11, 2025: Estádio Mane Garrincha, Brasília, Brazil LPU Legacy Presale: Monday, March 31 @ 10am (Local Time) LPU Passport Plus Presale: Monday, March 31 @ 12pm (Local Time) General Onsale: Thursday, April 3 @ 10am (Local Time) Santiago General Onsale: Thursday, April 3 @ 11am (Local Time)

"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.

Remember they posted in the studio in October/November?

Linkin Park has released the newest LPTV, chronicling the band's visit to Asia with shows in Tokyo and Jakarta. At the very end of the clip, there is a clip of Mike and Emily back in LA with Emily recording vocals on a new song, singing, "sometimes it feels like..." Back in the fall, the band was already recording again, well after the submission of the From Zero material (before the album release)... maybe more new music is on the way. Colin Brittain at the time said, "There’s also couple of songs that we haven't released yet that are may or may not come out next year, that we're still working on, they are really amazing." Linkin Park's 2025 From Zero World Tour continues with stops at Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo, Japan, and Stadion Madya Gelora Bung Karno in Jakarta, Indonesia. In this episode, Mike, Emily, and Colin perform "The Emptiness Machine" on DayDay in Tokyo, Phoenix and Mike celebrate their birthdays in Japan, the band plays basketball in Jakarta, and more.

The trailer for the instrumentals that LP posted on social media... they definitely need to be posting more in-studio footage from making the album. Maybe there is something attached to the new release of the Brazil show related to that. Let's see. But it looks like the band was recording a LOT of stuff even way back at Mike's home studio when things were first like legitimately moving with Emily.

They aren't many shows in yet - she will get better over time. Definitely don't see her having this many "let the crowd sing" moments years from now. She is doing really well overall. Much better than we could have ever guessed. Ironically, the part she CRUSHED at the launch show was the ITE bridge - "I put my tr-UST in you"... how she sang that with her voice really struck me in the crowd as such a... moment. I instantly was like "holy shit, she's good." Sadly she has not sung that exact part since the very first show but I hope one day she starts singing the ITE bridge again. I really loved her getting right next to Mike (who was on guitar!) and nailing that. Her voice is so good - really no need to let the crowd sing so much IMO. Not a criticism. Love Emily and she will continue getting better, just as Alex and Colin will too.

I think it's just as simple as that. We were spoiled with Chester for so long - he was truly iconic.

Following the release of the album a cappellas, Linkin Park has announced that the From Zero Instrumentals will be released on Friday, February 28, 2025.
