Linkin Park have not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, festival booking or one-off show on the schedule for either country, and no date has been published anywhere in the world for 2027.
The band were here only seven months ago. The From Zero World Tour, the first tour with singer Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, played two nights at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, two at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne and two at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney in March 2026, before ending its local leg at Spark Arena in Auckland on Wednesday 18 March 2026. It was their first Australian tour since the Soundwave festival of 2013.
This page explains what is and is not known about Linkin Park's plans after that tour, and gives a complete account of the band's concerts in Australia and New Zealand, from the Enmore Theatre in Sydney in May 2001 to Auckland in March 2026.
There is no official information about Linkin Park concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. The From Zero World Tour began in Inglewood, California, on 11 September 2024 as a short run of comeback shows, grew into a stadium and arena tour through 2025, and ended in Zurich on 30 June 2026 after about 100 concerts. No new leg or new tour has been announced since.
Since the tour ended, the band's announcements have been about film rather than live dates: on 4 August 2026 they announced Unshatter, a documentary released in cinemas on 30 September 2026, together with a live recording of 'Somewhere I Belong' from its soundtrack. Nothing has been said about where the band will play next.
Australia and New Zealand have just had a full tour, so a quick return would be unusual for this band: before March 2026 the gap since their previous Australian shows was 13 years. That is history, not a forecast. When Linkin Park do announce new dates, they are normally published with venues and sale dates at the same time, so this page will be able to show a precise schedule.
Until then, treat any 2027 Linkin Park ticket listing, leaked city list or 'presale code' with suspicion. If the band confirm anything for Australia or New Zealand, the alert below will tell you first.
Linkin Park first played Australia in May 2001, while Hybrid Theory was still climbing charts around the world. The setlist archive shows the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Wednesday 2 May 2001 and Festival Hall in Melbourne on 4 May, with sets of 13 songs that included 'Papercut', 'Crawling', 'In the End' and 'One Step Closer'. Brisbane Festival Hall on 5 May and the Auckland Town Hall on 8 May are also listed, with incomplete set lists.
The band returned for the Meteora era in October 2003, playing outdoors at Moore Park in Sydney on Saturday 11 October, at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 12 October and at the Brisbane Showgrounds on 18 October 2003. The 17-song sets opened with 'Don't Stay' and 'Somewhere I Belong' and included 'Faint', 'Numb' and 'From the Inside' alongside the Hybrid Theory hits.
The Minutes to Midnight World Tour brought the first full arena tour of the region in October 2007. It opened with two nights at Vector Arena in Auckland on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 October, then played two nights at Rod Laver Arena on 14 and 15 October, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 16 October, the Burswood Dome in Perth on 18 October, two nights at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on 20 and 21 October and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Monday 22 October 2007.
For A Thousand Suns, the band toured Australia in December 2010 with ten shows: the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday 3 December, the Newcastle Entertainment Centre on 4 December, the Burswood Dome on 7 December, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 9 December, Acer Arena in Sydney on 11 and 15 December, two nights at Rod Laver Arena on 12 and 13 December, and the AIS Arena in Canberra on Thursday 16 December 2010. Newcastle and Canberra remain the only Australian cities outside the state capitals where the band have played.
The Living Things tour came in February and March 2013, built around Soundwave. It started at Vector Arena in Auckland on Thursday 21 February 2013, then combined the five festival dates with two arena sideshows: the Sydney Entertainment Centre on 26 February and Rod Laver Arena on 27 February. It was Chester Bennington's last visit to Australia and New Zealand; he died in July 2017.
After 13 years away, the From Zero World Tour returned in March 2026: the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 3 and Thursday 5 March, Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 8 and Tuesday 10 March, Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 March, and Spark Arena in Auckland on 18 March 2026. A show at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 12 March 2026 was cancelled because of illness in the band, so Adelaide did not see Linkin Park on this tour. Polaris supported in Brisbane and Vana in Auckland.
The table below lists 40 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Linkin Park between 2001 and 2026, with the most shows in Sydney (10), Melbourne (10), Brisbane (7), Auckland (5), Perth (3), Adelaide (3). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Concert data: setlist.fm
Across the 15 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (21 February 2013 to 18 March 2026), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Linkin Park's Australian festival history is Soundwave 2013, where they were among the headliners on a bill that also included Metallica, Paramore, Blink-182 and Sum 41. The band played the Brisbane date on Saturday 23 February, Sydney Olympic Park on Sunday 24 February, Melbourne on 1 March, Adelaide on 2 March and Perth on Monday 4 March 2013.
Their festival sets were around 20 songs, opening with 'Tinfoil' and 'Faint' and including 'Castle of Glass', 'Lost in the Echo', 'Burn It Down' and 'Bleed It Out'. The setlist archive files those performances under the festival stage name rather than the showground, which is why the table on this page shows 'Stage 1B' for several of them.
Linkin Park formed in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996. Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell and drummer Rob Bourdon were joined in 1999 by singer Chester Bennington, and the band changed its name from Hybrid Theory to Linkin Park before releasing their debut album, Hybrid Theory, in October 2000. Certified Diamond in the United States, it produced 'One Step Closer', 'Crawling' and 'In the End', which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The remix album Reanimation followed in 2002.
Meteora (2003), with 'Somewhere I Belong', 'Faint', 'Breaking the Habit' and 'Numb', continued the run of success, and the Jay-Z collaboration Collision Course followed in 2004. Minutes to Midnight (2007) moved away from nu metal, with 'What I've Done', 'Shadow of the Day' and 'Bleed It Out'. A Thousand Suns (2010) and Living Things (2012) leaned further into electronic sounds, The Hunting Party (2014) returned to a heavier rock sound and One More Light (2017) was the band's most pop-oriented record.
Bennington died in July 2017, two months after One More Light was released, and the band went on a seven-year hiatus, during which Bourdon chose to leave. Shinoda, Delson, Hahn and Farrell gradually returned to writing, and in September 2024 they announced their comeback with Emily Armstrong, the singer of Dead Sara, and drummer Colin Brittain.
From Zero, released on 15 November 2024 and led by 'The Emptiness Machine', returned to elements of the band's original sound. It was nominated for Best Rock Album at the Grammy Awards held on 1 February 2026, and later singles 'Up From the Bottom' and 'Unshatter' came from its deluxe edition. With more than 100 million records sold, Linkin Park are one of the best-selling acts of all time.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid Theory | 2000 | — |
| Meteora | 2003 | — |
| Minutes to Midnight | 2007 | — |
| A Thousand Suns | 2010 | — |

The From Zero World Tour ended on 30 June 2026 in Zurich, and as of 9 October 2026 no further concerts have been announced. The band's focus since then has been the Unshatter documentary, released in cinemas on 30 September 2026.
Australian and New Zealand fans have just had six arena nights in Australia and one in Auckland, the band's biggest local tour since 2010. There is no information on when Linkin Park will next play this part of the world, and no reason to expect a 2027 visit until the band say so.
The 2026 shows were the first Australian concerts with the new line-up and the first since Soundwave 2013. Each city had two nights, a format the band had used before in Melbourne and Sydney but never in Brisbane.
The tour was not without disruption: the Adelaide Entertainment Centre show on Thursday 12 March 2026 was cancelled because of illness in the band. Adelaide's most recent Linkin Park concert therefore remains Soundwave at Bonython Park on 2 March 2013, and the last indoor show there was in December 2010.
Polaris, from Sydney, opened in Brisbane, and Vana supported at Spark Arena in Auckland.
Melbourne has seen Linkin Park on every tour: Festival Hall in 2001, Rod Laver Arena in 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2026, plus Soundwave in 2013. Rod Laver Arena has hosted eight of their concerts, more than any other venue in the region.
Sydney's list runs from the Enmore Theatre in 2001 and Moore Park in 2003 to the Sydney Entertainment Centre in 2007 and 2013, two nights at Acer Arena in 2010, Soundwave at Sydney Olympic Park in 2013 and two nights at Qudos Bank Arena in 2026. Acer Arena and Qudos Bank Arena are the same building at Olympic Park under different names.
New Zealand's Linkin Park concerts have all been in Auckland. After the Auckland Town Hall listing of May 2001, the band played two nights at Vector Arena in October 2007 and a single night there on 21 February 2013, and returned to the same arena, now called Spark Arena, on 18 March 2026.
No concert has been played elsewhere in New Zealand, and no New Zealand date has been announced for 2027.
The 2026 shows were long: 25 to 27 songs, split into sections. The second Sydney night, on Sunday 15 March 2026, opened with 'Somewhere I Belong', 'Lying From You' and 'Over Each Other', mixed From Zero songs such as 'The Emptiness Machine', 'Two Faced', 'Overflow' and 'Heavy Is the Crown' with 'New Divide', 'The Catalyst', 'Burn It Down' and 'Waiting for the End', included a Joe Hahn solo and 'Remember the Name', and closed with 'Numb', 'In the End', 'Faint', 'Papercut' and 'Bleed It Out'.
The set changed from night to night. Melbourne on 8 March added 'Crawling', 'Castle of Glass', 'Good Things Go' and 'Let You Fade', and Auckland on 18 March included 'Unshatter' and 'Points of Authority'. By comparison, the 2013 arena shows ran to 22 songs with a medley of 'Leave Out All the Rest', 'Shadow of the Day' and 'Iridescent', and the December 2010 sets opened with 'The Requiem' and 'Wretches and Kings'.
Across all the shows in the archive, 'In the End', 'Numb', 'Faint', 'One Step Closer' and 'Papercut' are among the songs Linkin Park have played most often in Australia and New Zealand; the full ranking is in the table on this page.
There are no Linkin Park tickets on sale for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any site already selling seats or offering a presale code is not official.
For the 2026 tour, tickets were sold through the official outlets of each venue, with a presale before the general sale. If new dates are announced, buy only from the authorised seller named by the venue, the venue box office or the band's fan club, keep name-locked mobile tickets on your own phone, and use only the official resale platform if you cannot attend.
