The highly-anticipated return of Linkin Park includes new co-vocalist Emily Armstrong (Dead Sara) and drummer Colin Brittain (songwriter/producer for G Flip, Illenium, One OK Rock) accompanying the band’s first brand new music in seven years with the release of their new single “The Emptiness Machine” on September 5th at 3p (PT) via Warner Records. Armstrong and Brittain join the band’s lineup of Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Phoenix, and Joe Hahn.

The announcement arrived with a global livestream performance (available for 24 hours HERE) with 6 upcoming arena shows in Los Angeles (9/11), New York (9/16), Hamburg (9/22), London (9/24), Seoul (9/28), and Bogota (11/11) as part of the From Zero World Tour. Linkin Park will release their new album, From Zero on November 15th. It’s the first release of new music since the passing of former lead singer Chester Bennington in 2017. 

Without expectations, Shinoda, Delson, Farrell, and Hahn quietly began meeting up again in recent years. Rather than “trying to restart the band,” their instinct was to simply spend more time together, and reconnect with the creativity and camaraderie that has been at the core of their friendship since college. During this time, they invited various friends and cohorts to join them in the studio; among the guests, they found a special kinship with Armstong and Brittain. A natural chemistry drew these musicians back into its gravitational pull as they logged more and more hours in the studio. It was the sound of lifelong musicians rediscovering the uncontainable energy of a new beginning once again. Over this season, From Zero was born.

Shinoda says, “Before Linkin Park, our first band name was Xero. This album title refers to both this humble beginning and the journey we’re currently undertaking. Sonically and emotionally, it is about past, present, and future—embracing our signature sound, but new and full of life. It was made with a deep appreciation for our new and longtime bandmates, our friends, our family, and our fans. We are proud of what Linkin Park has become over the years, and excited about the journey ahead.”

In 2020, the band celebrated their groundbreaking debut album, Hybrid Theory, by releasing a comprehensive 20th anniversary edition super deluxe box set. In 2023, the band released Meteora 20th Anniversary Edition, which topped the charts and featured the newly-uncovered single “Lost.” The emotionally charged single was originally recorded during sessions for their second studio album Meteora (2003). Earlier this year marked the release of their first greatest hits package Papercuts, featuring vault track “Friendly Fire.”
