Rock legends Linkin Park have announced dates for a short global tour that will start as soon as next week.

Tickets go on sale today (Friday) for the six shows, which are Grammy Award-winning Linkin Park’s first dates since the death of lead singer Chester Bennington in July 2017.

From Zero World Tour concerts in Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London and Seoul, South Korea will be staged this month, with the Bogota, Colombia date coming in November.

The Live Nation-backed tour begins at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on September 11 before taking in New York’s Barclays Center. The European shows will be held at Hamburg’s Barclays Arena and London’s The O2. In Seoul, Linkin Park will play INSPIRE Arena before finishing the run at Bogota’s Coliseo Medplus.

The fan club exclusive pre-sale starts today, with general on-sales via Ticketmaster tomorrow (Sep 7).

The tour coincides with the band releasing the album From Zero, which is their first new music in seven years. Linkin Park went on an indefinite hiatus following Bennington’s suicide. They have now reformed with two new members.

Co-lead vocalist and guitarist Mike Shinoda said: “We feel really empowered with this new lineup and the vibrant and energized new music we’ve made together. We’re weaving together the sonic touchpoints we’ve been known for and still exploring new ones.”

Linkin Park is among both the best-selling bands of the 21st century, having sold over 100 million records worldwide.
