Linkin Park are back after seven years, announcing a new album and world tour alongside a brand new singer.
The legendary band last night unveiled Dead Sara lead singer Emily Armstrong as their new co-vocalist. Armstrong replaces Chester Bennington following his tragic death in 2017, aged just 41.
Colin Brittain has also joined the band as its new drummer.

It's a huge turn of events for the band and its fans, with co-vocalist and guitarist Mike Shinoda saying two years ago that Linkin Park had no plans to tour or create a new album. Now they're doing both those things.
Shinoda said: "The more we worked with Emily and Colin, the more we enjoyed their world-class talents, their company, and the things we created.
"We feel really empowered with this new line-up and the vibrant and energised new music we’ve made together. We’re weaving together the sonic touch points we’ve been known for and still exploring new ones."
Following the huge announcement, everyone has the same question. How do I get tickets?

Where does the Linkin Park world tour go?
The band announced their new album From Zero alongside six dates in their new world tour, which is named after the new album.
It will see the band play five dates in September 2024. They will play Los Angeles (11th) and New York (16th) in the USA before moving on to Hamburg (22nd) in Germany and London (24th) in the UK.
A gig is then planned for Seoul (28th) in South Korea before a final show in Bogota, Colombia, with the final date taking place in November on the 11th.

How do I access the Linkin Park presale?
