Linkin Park fans will want to keep an eye out for an announcement on 12pm GMT on Thursday (November 14) if a new social media post from Wembley Stadium is anything to go by.
This evening (November 12), a post appeared on Wembley’s X, formerly Twitter, account featuring a photo of the external screens at the stadium reading Counting From Zero “ ˜From Zero being the name of Linkin Park s upcoming album, out on Friday (November 15) “ pre-save/pre-order the album here.
The show would become the only the third UK performance from Linkin Park since their reformation in 2023 with new members Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain on vocals and drums respectively, after they went on hiatus following the death of singer Chester Bennington in 2017. They previously played The O2 in London on September 24 and November 2.
The band are currently on their ˜From Zero world tour, and are next in São Paulo, Brazil, on their album s release day for the first of two shows.

At their show in Dallas, Texas, last Friday (November 8), the band previewed an as-yet-unreleased song from the album, ˜Casualty , with co-founder and vocalist Mike Shinoda telling fans, If ever there was a time in a Linkin Park show to show us the biggest pit that you can [this is it].
The preview came after the band brought out Helmet s Page Hamilton for a surprise appearance as they performed ˜All For Nothing live for the first time.
Linkin Park s confirmed ˜From Zero world tour dates are:
NOVEMBER 2024
15 “ São Paulo, Brazil, Allianz Parque
16 “ São Paulo, Brazil, Allianz Parque
APRIL 2025
12 “ Las Vegas, NV, Festival Grounds (part of Sick New World Festival)
MAY 2025
10 “ Columbus, OH, Historic Crew Stadium (part of Sonic Temple Festival)
In September, Shinoda opened up about the new culture of the band, describing it as the best we ve had . He said on the From Zero podcast: I m not saying that as a knock on the old line-up. I m saying that specifically about the growth of Brad [Delson] and Joe [Hahn] and Dave [Farrell] and me. Everybody is in a really good place and part of that is maybe the gratitude of being able to do it again.
He also spoke about Bennington, saying: With Chester, I had another human being where I could feed him ideas and he could bring them to life like nobody else. It was amazing. And I didn t know any better, he explained. I hadn t had very much experience with anybody else so I was just like, ˜Oh this is just what it s like to have a really good singer and be like what do you think about this? Here s an idea and you both try it and then you go high five. That s great.
When I started working with other people, I started to realise it s harder to find. That s unusual.
Ahead of their live shows this autumn, Shinoda explained that the current iteration of the band was not about erasing the past. He said: We are thrilled to be back out here ¦ it is about starting this new chapter into the future, and coming out here for each and every one of you.
The post Wembley Stadium is teasing a massive Linkin Park show appeared first on NME.
