PHOENIX — Alternative rock band Linkin Park will perform in Phoenix in September during its 2025 From Zero World Tour.
The 50-plus date tour will hit Footprint Center on Sept. 6 and will be in support of the band’s eighth studio album “From Zero,” which will be released on Friday. The concert will feature special guest Jean Dawson.
Presales start Monday and tickets go on sale to the general public at 12 p.m. MST Thursday.
“From Zero” is the band’s first album with new lead singer Emily Armstrong. Armstrong takes over on lead vocals for longtime singer and Arizona native Chester Bennington who died in July 2017.
Linkin Park’s last album was 2017’s One More Light, which marked the band’s fifth album to reach number one on the Billboard 200.
The band’s first single off From Zero “The Emptiness Machine,” became the band’s highest-charting song in the United States since 2009’s “New Divide,” peaking at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Getting back out on the road has been incredible,” singer Mike Shinoda said in a press release. “The fans’ support is overwhelming, and we’re ready to take this energy even further around the world. From Zero is a new chapter for us, and we’re so excited to share it with everyone on a bigger scale.”
The California-born rock band’s most popular songs include “In the End”, “Numb” and “What I’ve Done,” each of which made it onto the Billboard Hot 100 list.
Linkin Park last performed in Phoenix in September 2014, according to Setlist.fm.
The tour kicks off on Jan. 31 in Mexico City, Mexico, and ends Nov. 15 in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
