Linkin Park’s music has never been just about a sound. Since their debut at the turn of the century, the band has been the magnetic hub of an emotional and cultural community — staggering in scope, intimate in connection, and wholly unique.
After the tragic loss of Chester Bennington in 2017, the band came to a devastating halt; their future obscured by grief and unanswered questions. But, friendships led the way. As Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, and Joseph Hahn began making music together again, they met Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain. Casual jam sessions organically morphed into recording sessions, and Linkin Park quietly crafted a collection of songs channeling the open-hearted spontaneity of starting over: FROM ZERO. On September 5, 2024, Linkin Park took the stage for the first time in seven years—and the new chapter began.
