A new chapter in the story of Linkin Park is among us. On Thursday, the band announced plans to embark on a headlining tour beginning kicking off Sept. 11 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, marking their first run of live performances since the death of frontman Chester Bennington in 2017. Moving forward on the road without him also brings in the addition of a new co-vocalist, for which Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson and Dave Farrell have selected Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara. Colin Brittain, songwriter and producer for G Flip, was also announced as the band’s new drummer.

Linkin Park also shared their first new music in seven years, “The Emptiness Machine,” which premiered alongside a livestream performance to announce their new album, From Zero, slated for release on Nov. 15.

The group’s upcoming From Zero World Tour will include stops in Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London, Seoul, and Bogota. LP Underground fan club pre-sales start Sept. 6 and general on-sales Sept. 7.

Linkin Park first began teasing the announcement last week. On Instagram, the official band account shared a video of a countdown that starts at 100 hours and begins ticking away. They followed it up with another countdown, this one starting at zero seconds, increasing to 9, and immediately jumping back down to 5 before the video completely distorts. “It’s only a matter of time…” the caption read, along with a link to their website.
