Touring Australia for the first time in over a decade, the newly reformed Linkin Park have announced Sydney-based metalcore brutes Polaris as their main tour support.

Polaris have fast become a favourite amongst Aussie heavy music fans, with the band having garnered millions of streams, sold-out headline tours of Australia and gained a global reputation for their live performances.

The quartet will perform at all six dates on the Aussie leg of Linkin Park’s From Zero World Tour, which includes two shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

Linkin Park’s upcoming visit will be the first chance Australian audiences get to see the band’s new frontwoman, Emily Armstrong, previously of Dead Sara, and the recently recruited drummer, Colin Brittain.

“Getting back out on the road has been incredible,” says Mike Shinoda of the From Zero World Tour. “The fans’ support is overwhelming, and we’re ready to bring this energy to Australia. FROM ZERO is a new chapter for us, and we’re so excited to share it with everyone on a bigger scale.”

Linkin Park’s tour begins with shows at Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 3 March and Thursday 5 March, followed by gigs at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 8 March and Tuesday 10 March, and Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday 14 March and Sunday 15 March.

It’s been a huge 12 months for Linkin Park, who got back together with new vocalist Armstrong and drummer Brittain after a six-year hiatus brought on by the tragic passing of Chester Bennington.

Linkin Park’s return came as a surprise to most, and while many were sceptical of Armstrong fronting the band, she has fitted in perfectly, as evidenced by the band’s latest LP, FROM ZERO, which topped the charts around the world, including Australia.

The album signals a new era in the band’s history, with Aussie fans getting the chance to hear the new material live in February next year when Linkin Park return as part of their From Zero World Tour.

Linkin Park plays Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in February 2026. Tickets on sale now via livenation.com.au.
