Linkin Park Tease New Music in the Works

Linkin Park recently dropped a brief video from their studio, offering a glimpse of the band crafting a fresh track. Their latest album, From Zero, hit the shelves not long ago, on November 15, yet the musicians are already setting their sights on what’s next. The clip captures their new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, laying down vocals alongside Mike Shinoda in their Los Angeles studio. Details like the song’s title or release date remain under wraps for now.

The band is technically in the midst of a tour, though March looks quiet with no gigs on the calendar. February, however, was a whirlwind—two shows in Mexico, two in Japan, and a stop in Indonesia kept them on the move. Come April 26, Linkin Park will kick off a U.S. leg that stretches through May 17. Then, on June 12, they’ll launch their European run, touching down in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, France, the UK, and beyond. By July 29, they’ll circle back to North America for another round of performances.

Last fall, in 2024, Linkin Park unveiled Emily Armstrong as their new voice—a move that didn’t sit well with everyone. For some fans, replacing Chester Bennington, who passed away in 2017, felt like a step too far. Others raised eyebrows over Armstrong’s past ties to convicted actor Danny Masterson, a friendship that stirred controversy. She’s since distanced herself, clarifying that she only attended one of his court hearings in 2020 and has had no contact since. Despite the uproar, From Zero landed on solid ground, topping charts worldwide and earning a warm nod from critics.

Looking ahead to 2025, Linkin Park have a treat in store: a concert film capturing their November 15 performance in São Paulo, Brazil. Fans are betting on an April premiere, eager to relive the moment.
