“This past year on the From Zero World Tour has been incredible. When we announced Lollapalooza India, the warmth and excitement from fans was overwhelming, and we decided that one show just wasn’t enough. We’re thrilled to bring the tour to both Bengaluru and Mumbai on our first-ever trip to India,” band member Mike Shinoda said.

Linkin Park, which paused live shows following the death of frontman Chester Bennington in 2017, made its comeback in 2024 with a new lead vocalist, putting to rest years of speculation about the band’s future.

The group, which now includes — Shinoda, Emily Armstrong, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell and Colin Brittain, introduced its new album “From Zero”, led by singles “Lost” and “Friendly Fire”.

The setlist for Indian concerts will feature new tracks such as “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy Is the Crown”, as well as classic anthems from their early catalogue.
