Linkin Park will take the stage at PHX Arena, formerly known as Footprint Center, on Saturday, Sept. 6, for their first Arizona concert since the death of Chester Bennington, the Phoenix-born singer who died by suicide in 2017.

Linkin Park returned to touring in 2024 with two new members — co-lead vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain — joining Mike Shinoda, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell and Joe Hahn.

Their return to Phoenix is part of the From Zero World Tour in support of their first album since 2017, “From Zero,” which hit the Billboard album charts at No. 2 in mid-November 2024.

They returned to the spotlight two months earlier with “The Emptiness Machine,” which topped the Billboard Alternative and Mainstream Rock Airplay charts, marking their 13th and 11th chart-toppers on these lists, respectively.
