Numb! 2000s rockers snub Perth in long-awaited return to Aus
Re-emerging rockers Linkin Park have left Perth off their limited 2026 Aussie tour schedule in a blow to long-time local fans. The In the End hitmakers announced Australian tour dates for their From Zero World Tour on Monday, with the band's first national shows since 2013 set to land in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney in early March next year. Their most recent WA performance was at the now-defunct Soundwave Festival in February 2013, lining up alongside rock stalwarts Metallica, Blink-182, Paramore, and The Offspring. Local fans have expressed their disappointment at being snubbed in favour of East Coast tour dates, pleading with tour agent Live Nation to expand the group's schedule. 'Ffs seriously? Perth misses out again,' one frustrated fan said. Another commented, 'I live in Brisbane but honestly Perth needs some love. Can we petition for these bands to bless the west coast? ✍🏼' 'Whyyyyyyy aren't they coming to Perth…,' another added. Linkin Park has not included Perth in its plans to tour Australian in 2026. Credit: Live Nation Linkin Park rose to global fame in the late 90s and early 2000s as pioneers of the alternative rock genre, recognised for fusing rap, nu metal, pop rock, and electronic rock. In May this year, the five-piece band released the Deluxe Edition of their From Zero album, equipped with their latest single Let You Fade. However, one notable difference to their line-up in Australia next year will be the addition of co-lead vocalist Emily Armstrong. Replacing late singer and front man Chester Bennington, who died of suicide in 2017, Armstrong controversially formed part of the group's re-emergence in September 2024 following a seven-year hiatus. Alongside Armstrong, the band now consists of co-vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist Mike Shinoda, lead guitarist Brad Delson, DJ Joe Hahn, bassist Dave Farrell, and drummer Colin Brittain. Chester Bennington died by suicide in 2017. Credit: BANG - Entertainment News PerthNow has reached out to Live Nation for further comment on Linkin Park's Australian tour schedule.

Linkin Park Announce First Australian Tour In 13 Years
Yara Sameh iconic US rock band Linkin Park will make their grand return to Australia next year for the first time in 13 years. They will kick off the tour on March 3rd at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and will be held at arenas in the capital cities of Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney from early to mid-March. (see full details below). The shows will be the band's first visit to Australia since the 2013 Soundwave Festival and the first since their new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, joined the group. Having toured the country in support of every album up to 2012's "Living Things", Linkin Park did not include Australia on the itinerary for 2014's "The Hunting Party" tour, and no Aussie dates were scheduled for their "One More Light" world tour at the time of vocalist Chester Bennington's death in July 2017. The performances will take place as part of the band's ongoing "From Zero World Tour," which launched in September 2024. "From Zero," their first album since 2017's "One More Light," debuted in November 2024.
