Fans of Linkin Park, get ready to mark your calendars: the iconic rock band has just confirmed that they will embark
on a massive world tour in 2025! After years of speculation, hope, and anticipation, the band will return to the stage
for the first time since their One More Light tour in 2017, making this a monumental event for both long-time and
new fans.
The Return of Linkin Park: A New Chapter
The 2025 tour is shaping up to be a unique blend of Linkin Park’s legacy and their forward-thinking creativity. This
will be the band’s first major tour since the passing of lead vocalist Chester Bennington in 2017, and fans are excited
to see how the band will honor his memory while continuing to evolve. Although many had feared that Linkin Park’s
days as a live touring act were over, the surviving members – Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell,
Joe Hahn, and Rob Bourdon – have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to prepare for this special return.
Linkin Park’s music, known for its powerful blend of rock, hip hop, and electronic elements, has resonated deeply
with fans worldwide. Their 2000 debut album Hybrid Theory catapulted them into stardom, and albums like
Meteora, Minutes to Midnight, and A Thousand Suns solidified their place in rock history. The band’s recent 20th
anniversary edition of Hybrid Theory rekindled excitement about their rich catalog, and the tour will likely feature a mix of old favorites and new material, drawing from their vast discography.
What to Expect from the 2025 Tour
The 2025 tour promises to be a blend of nostalgia and innovation. Here’s what fans can expect:
- Setlist of Hits: Expect to hear a mix of timeless anthems like In the End, Crawling, Numb, and Somewhere I Belong, alongside more recent tracks from their One More Light era. With a catalog as expansive and diverse as theirs, fans can also expect some deeper cuts that haven’t seen the stage in years.
- Chester’s Legacy: The band has stated that they are committed to honoring Chester’s incredible influence on their music. While they won’t be replacing him, they plan to feature guest vocalists and creative multimedia tributes throughout the show to celebrate Chester’s life and his unmatched vocal contributions to the band.
- New Music? Mike Shinoda hinted in a recent interview that Linkin Park has been experimenting with new music in the studio. While nothing official has been released yet, fans are eager to hear if the band has new songs ready to premiere live.
- Collaborations and Guests: As part of the tour, Linkin Park has hinted at collaborating with various artists from both the rock and hip-hop scenes. Given their genre-blending style, the tour could feature surprise guests or performances of songs with guest artists, much like the collaborations with Jay-Z on Collision Course in 2004.
- State-of-the-Art Visuals and Production: Linkin Park is known for pushing the boundaries of live music experiences, and the 2025 tour will be no exception. With state-of-the-art visuals, immersive stage designs, and possibly even augmented reality experiences, fans will be treated to more than just a concert – they’ll be immersed in a sensory journey.
Tour Dates and Locations
The tour will kick off in North America in the spring of 2025, with a series of arena and stadium shows. After that,
Linkin Park will hit the road for international dates, making stops in Europe, Asia, and Australia. While the full tour
schedule has yet to be released, fans can expect dates in major cities like Los Angeles, New York, London, Berlin,
Tokyo, and Sydney.
Pre-sale and Ticket Information
Fans eager to secure their tickets for the 2025 tour are encouraged to sign up for Linkin Park’s official newsletter and
follow their social media channels for pre-sale details and tour updates. Given the immense demand for tickets, there
will likely be VIP packages available, offering exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities, soundcheck access, and

A Moment of Healing
The 2025 Linkin Park tour isn’t just about the music; it’s also about healing. Over the years, the band’s music has
been a source of solace for fans around the world, and the upcoming tour is expected to carry that same sense of
unity and emotional connection. With themes of resilience, self-reflection, and personal growth woven throughout
their music, the tour will likely serve as a cathartic experience for both the band and their devoted fanbase.
As the band reflects on the past, they’re also embracing the future. The 2025 tour isn’t just a return to the stage; it’s a
new chapter in the Linkin Park story. With Chester’s spirit in the music and a fresh sense of purpose, this will be a
tour for the ages.
