Linkin Park Announce Long-Awaited 2026 Australian Tour
Linkin Park is making their return to Australia after well over a decade. Fans are already buzzing. The iconic rock band has officially announced that they will play Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney in March 2026. This will be the band's first visit to the country since 2013. Their set at the Soundwave Festival that year is still remembered by many.

After that, they went on to undertake multiple large world tours. This left Australia in the dust, much to the disappointment of thousands of loyal Australian followers. Now, however, we have a new reason to feel hope and excitement for what will surely be one of the most anticipated concert tours of 2026. Most importantly, it is their re-engagement with their international fan base that catches the attention.
A Fresh Page for Linkin Park’s Global Performances
Linkin Park's relationship with Australian audiences has always been strong. They continued to tour the country with the release of multiple albums, including Living Things in 2012. However, Australia missed The Hunting Party in 2014 and the One More Light tour in 2017. Both of these misses were partly unavoidable. One was due to the unexpected loss of Chester Bennington in 2017, which impacted the entire band and millions of fans.
Yet still, the music lived on, and Linkin Park continues to inspire countless individuals with their legendary status. The Australian shows will be a rebirth when compared to all previous tours, benefiting from the energy of new vocalist Emily Armstrong, who supported them on the From Zero World Tour. Launching in 2024, this tour marks the next chapter in Linkin Park's history and is now including Australian fans.
