Linkin Park is hitting Auckland, and we’re bloody stoked!
The legends are bringing their ‘From Zero World Tour’ to Spark Arena on March 18 - and we’re NUMB with excitement.
This is the first Aotearoa show with their new vocalist Emily Armstrong, who joined the band in 2024, so expect new hits like ‘The Emptiness Machine’ and ‘Heavy Is The Crown’, alongside iconic tracks that span the band’s 20+ year career.
So before we get one step closer to the gig, we’ve gotta make sure you’re prepared to have the best night possible.
Tickets are extremely limited, so if you want in on this noise, grab yours now - you do not want to miss it.
