Confirmed by the band for Friday.

Ahead of the North American tour opener in Austin, Texas on April 26, Linkin Park has announced a From Zero Festival in Austin during the days leading up to the show. The band says, "Austin — come join FROM ZERO FEST ahead of the show next week, packed with events and pop-up shops. APRIL 24 – @torchystacos on Congress Ave LINKIN PORK Taco Takeover + Pop-Up Shop 9AM–8PM | Open to all APRIL 25 – @mohawkaustin An evening of games, prizes, and Pop-Up Shop with a custom hat station 6PM–10PM | RSVP link in bio APRIL 24 to 27 – @desnudocoffee (both locations) Grab a LINKIN LATTE and keep an eye out for golden tickets and stickers. A donation has been made to @TreeFolks in partnership with Desnudo." Detailed information can be found on the band's Instagram post. LP Underground members have also received an invitation for April 24 to listen to From Zero (Deluxe Edition) in full in Austin at an exclusive listening party.

Included on Linkin Park's new From Zero (Deluxe Edition) release in May with Up From The Bottom are new songs Unshatter and Let You Fade. Digital stores have started to update the track time for Unshatter, listing it at 3:16. Screenshot from Amazon Music below. Usually this is a sign that a new track is on the way sometime in the next few weeks. It would not be surprising if the band released a second song from the Deluxe Edition as the release is still about three weeks away. Whatever the case, it looks like Unshatter could be coming soon. So far, nothing is known about the song other than it was one of the earliest songs with Emily, with Linkin Park saying on their website, "Unshatter" was an early track we made while recording From Zero; Emily's huge vocal in the bridge was one of the moments that gave us an indication of what was possible together." Qobuz also reports "Unshatter" at 3:16 length and "Let You Fade" at 3:28 length. Let's see what happens! April 21 edit: Linkin Park has confirmed the song will be released on Friday, April 25, less than one day before they take the stage in Austin, Texas. The band also posted a new promo photo in advance of the song's release:

Doesn't seem like we will ever get it now if they changed the description to "the LP team wants this full show if anyone has it", aka now that they know about it they probably instructed people to not give it to fans. Seems like we won't be seeing it.

No Brad in this one, interesting. The original riff for this song sounds a little heavier than the final product.

Mike and Emily stopped by the KROQ studio in LA for a surprise interview with Kevin Ryder. Of note, the band says that they are rehearsing this week for tour and may work on up to 5 songs not in the show during rehearsals. Emily says they want to eventually play Lies Greed Misery as well, but not yet.

It's definitely weird to see Linkin Park without 6 people no matter what the situation is. We will have to get used to this over time. It's odd Brad didn't participate in it since this is a studio remix. But they may have filmed it in Europe in November and he was not there. Very unlikely he plays the show itself, he doesn't seem to like the travel aspect of touring.

Linkin Park has confirmed their appearance on May 31, 2025 at Munich, Germany's UEFA Champions League soccer/football kickoff show. Rumors had the band performing at halftime, but it appears they will perform before the show. The press release says that they will perform new and old songs, as well as a new remix that includes Numb that they created. Mike says, "When we first thought about the track that we made for this event ... it’s really all about the football. We had a bunch of references of past musicians, producers and artists who have made things which are special for a sport, so we wanted to take that inspiration and put our spin on it and do something made from the sounds of football. So, the track that we made is essentially the sounds of football, done in a LINKIN PARK way. All the things that it’s built on are sounds of the foot hitting the ball, the sound of the ball hitting the net, the sounds of the fans stomping in the seats. These were the things that when we’ve been to football matches, struck us as being the powerful musical elements when being there." The performance will come between the North American leg 1 and European leg of the From Zero World Tour this summer.

The Instagram followers of LP's management, a few LP band members + Adam but not Mike and Mike had liked photos of hers on her account without following her. That was a tell-tale sign along with the photo in July and August. So, they kept the secret until almost the last second - really impressive.

Was he joking when he said it? He should know after the September Instagram live comments went viral and his comments on more songs ended up happening that these things set the fans off big time lol In that one he said they rehearsed more Hunting Party, which was a clue that they could play All For Nothing with Page. By the way, they killed that performance. Awesome.

Isn't that the exact rumor from Brazil's fans, that the band was filming the content for a documentary like that while in Brazil? That is not a safe assumption after knowing Mike has recorded a majority of guitars on some of the past LP albums. It is probably a mix on From Zero of Mike and Brad. That is one of several clues that gave away Emily was the new singer well in advance of the comeback. No fan group or fan online wanted to ruin any special moment the band had planned, and the press did absolutely zero homework on a singer to the point where they seemed to intentionally be deceiving people with names they were throwing out. They do shoot every single behind the scenes moment. More than ever now.

Colin went live on TikTok on April 8th - it unfortunately looks like there is no full recording available at least yet. The most notable thing he mentioned was about QWERTY, interestingly saying: "QWERTY is a good song. We might put it in, I don't know. We’re rehearsing soon, so we'll uhh.... that might be in the set, it might not, I don't know." Understandably this caused some interest with fans, as the song has only been performed nine times in 2006 and 2007. It was up for a possible performance at the 2011 Hamburg 2011 LPU Summit but seemed to cause some disagreements with the band on if they should play it or not, eventually settling on a Joe idea to perform a song by someone else with Mike recommending Adele's Rolling in the Deep. Linkin Park's last performance of QWERTY, on August 21, 2007 in Toronto, Canada - THAT'S how bad videos were back then. From 2012 to 2013, Linkin Park racked up 44 performances of VICTIMIZED, which had the bridge of QWERTY mashed into it. The last performance of that was on August 19, 2013 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. That will bring it to over 6,400+ days since QWERTY was played in full and 4,200+ days since it was performed in any form. On the From Zero World Tour, the band has pulled out surprise performances of quite a few songs, with notable debuts of Friendly Fire (also off of the Papercuts greatest hits compilation, like QWERTY), Keys to the Kingdom, and All For Nothing. The setlists have changed every leg of the tour so far with a substantial amount of songs rotating in and out right now. With Up From The Bottom expected to make its live debut, is there room for QWERTY? Also on the TikTok Live, Colin showed off his tattoos. We'll let you know if a full recording surfaces. And we'll be on the watch to see if QWERTY pops up.

Mike Jones from iHeartMedia recently connected with Emily and Phoenix virtually to interview them about Up From The Bottom, the From Zero Deluxe Edition, upcoming shows, the general state of the band, and more.

The festival apparently posted some clips of the shows online recently, according to BroodingAnanas.

Absolutely, we'll get the sources updated for the shows.

Isn't it possible they had agreements for shows a year out and then something changed (local clubs changed their minds) and then told Live Nation no? Things do change over time... a year out for a stadium show is a long time.

Linkin Park recently restructured their 2025 South American Tour for this fall and notably left off two shows originally announced in 2024 - Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre. With Rio being the second-most populous city in Brazil, it was odd that it was left off of the tour. Now, a new report from FogãoNET sheds some light into the cancellation of the concert in early November 2025. With Live Nation looking to host Linkin Park at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio, the Botafogo de Futebol e Regata soccer club in Rio has denied the show, citing scheduling concerns with its 2025 season. Linkin Park will perform in São Paulo one day before the second game of the Copa do Brasil final, interestingly. So if that show is going to get two nights, it will have to be on the 7th (the day prior. The report also says that the Palmeiras club rejected a concert by Linkin Park at Allianz Parque, the stadium they played two shows in last fall. The report says, "Botafogo rejected an offer from promoter Live Nation to host a concert by the band Linkin Park at the Nilton Santos Stadium in November, fearing it would be without its stadium in the decisive stages of the 2025 season, reported “Canal do Nicola”. In addition to Botafogo, Palmeiras also rejected hosting a concert by the band at Allianz Parque." Linkin Park ended up adding a show in Curitiba on November 5, 2025. It looks like if they want their selection of cities and venues in Brazil, they will have to visit in a different time of the year.

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)
