For their next act, Linkin Park 2.0 are stripping it down, all the way down. The rebooted rockers announced on Wednesday (Jan. 22) that they will release From Zero A Cappellas on Friday (Jan. 24), a vocals-only version of the group’s Nov. 2024 comeback album featuring new singer Emily Armstrong.
At press time no additional information was available about the LP, which will mark the second release from the group since the death of singer Chester Bennington in 2017. The band surprised the world last fall when they re-emerged from years of silence to announce their second act, fronted by the Dead Sara vocalist.
After the release of singles “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy Is the Crown,” From Zero hit the top of the charts in 10 countries and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album charts. LP earned their seventh No. 1 on Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay chart — and second from the From Zero album — when “Heavy Is the Crown” jumped three spots to the top of the Jan. 25-dated survey. The band is now in sole possession of the third-most No. 1s on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, after previously being in a three-way tie with Cage the Elephant and Twenty One Pilots at six each.
The band is currently in the midst of the From Zero World Tour — featuring guests Queens of the Stone Age, AFI, Architects, grandson, Jean Dawson, JPEGMAFIA, Spiritbox and PVRIS — which will hit Mexico City on Jan. 31.
