Linkin Park Appears to Tease 2025 World Tour, Including a Stop at London’s Wembley Stadium

It’s shaping up to be a banner week for Linkin Park. On Friday (Nov. 15), they will release their new LP From Zero – the band’s first record following the passing of lead vocalist Chester Bennington in 2017. Now, the iconic nu-metal band also appears to be teasing some huge headlining shows for 2025.

As a slew of social media posts from venues across North America, Europe and the U.K. revealed uesday (Nov. 12), a “Counting From Zero” banner has been placed somewhere around each arena or stadium. Though the signs don’t explicitly include the band’s name, they seemingly nod to the title of the forthcoming album.

Among those venues are London’s legendary Wembley Stadium, Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena and Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany. Each post appears to indicate that a tour announcement is expected to land Thursday (Nov. 14) at 12 p.m. GMT (7 a.m. ET).

Billboard has reached out to Linkin Park’s reps.

In September, following a seven-year hiatus, the band released its comeback single, “The Emptiness Machine,” which peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, and entered the Official U.K. Singles Chart at No. 4. The new iteration of the band has seen the introduction of Colin Brittain on vocals and drums, while Emily Armstrong (singer with Dead Sara) has also taken on co-lead vocal duties. 

These lineup changes follow Bennington’s death by suicide in July 2017. A tribute concert took place that October, before the band’s members went their separate ways for an extended break. Linkin Park co-founder Mike Shinoda released his solo album Post Traumatic in 2018, which was supported by a world tour.

During the band’s first public show since the loss of Bennington at the L.A. Forum on Sept. 11, Shinoda spoke about the emotional significance behind their reformation. “This is not about erasing the past,” he said. “It is about starting this new chapter into the future.”

The band is currently on their From Zero world tour, having recently played London’s O2 Arena twice, alongside dates in France, Germany, Colombia and South Korea. They are currently gearing up to perform two shows in São Paulo, Brazil, across their album’s release weekend.

Earlier this year, Linkin Park spoke to Billboard, sharing that the band kept its return under wraps in order to alleviate any anxiety they were feeling towards making new music. “Things just came into focus, naturally,” Shinoda explained. “Even with Emily and Colin, we didn’t say, ‘Hey, come in, we’re doing Linkin Park sessions.’ We just said, ‘We’re going to write songs.’”

“For three days at least, I don’t ever remember touching the ground,” Armstrong described of her experience of joining the band. “And then everything was different when I came back down – knowing my life was going to be different, in the best way. I came back to a dreamland.”
