Linkin Park have more in store yet for Brazil, as the band has announced a From Zero pop-up store will be happening in São Paulo later this month. The pop-up is on from Monday, November 11 through to Saturday, November 16, and will feature merch as well as limited-edition items from a collaboration with Brazilian sportswear brand W A Sport.
W A Sport has posted about this Linkin Park collection on Instagram, describing it as a "celebration of Brazilians' passion for the band". Both the band and the sportswear company are declining to show previews of any of the merch at this stage.
In addition to the merch offerings, Brazilian fans can sign up to experience From Zero listening sessions that will be happening "directly next to the pop-up store" between November 11 and November 14. Space for these are limited, and the sign-up form and other details about this can be found on this page. Among other things, prospective attendees are asked to follow Linkin Park on Spotify and upload a screenshot as proof. Fans don't have much time to do this as the sign-up deadline is November 7, with winners selected afterwards.
This is the latest announcement amongst many regarding pop-up events and listening parties that are scheduled to happen in the coming weeks surrounding the much-hyped From Zero release on November 15, and more yet may be coming.

Linkin Park has announced via a tweet that will be a From Zero "audiovisual listening event" taking place in Toronto, Canada on November 14, a day ahead of the album's release date. The event will be hosted in partnership with Arcadia Earth, an exhibit currently in Toronto which promises "large-scale multi-sensory journeys". In addition to presumably hearing the full album complete with custom synced visuals, fans who attend will get to enjoy a merch pop-up store. The full event will run from 6 PM to 8 PM, and the announcement tweet notes that it's an open event.
Linkin Park has held audiovisual social events to herald new albums in the past, specifically the A Thousand Horizons art show livestreamed from Tokyo in 2010, which you can watch here, and the LIVING THINGS event at Los Angeles' Sonos Studio gallery in 2012, which was documented in this LPTV episode. This From Zero experience will more than likely follow in the same vein, but it might go further in terms of immersion if Arcadia Earth's Instagram photos are anything to go by.
The band's official website currently has a listening party locator, and Arcadia Earth's merch pop-up can now be seen listed there, but there is no concurrent mention of this listening party. At time of writing, the above tweet is still the only avenue through which it has been announced. Toronto will also play host to an advance album listening party later this week, at Kops Records on November 9 - this is part of a long list of worldwide listening parties leading up to the November 15 release date that you can find out about here.
In addition, more merch pop-ups have been announced for Australia around the From Zero release date, beginning with one in Sydney on the day itself - Friday, November 15 - hosted at the gaming/entertainment-focused venue Fortress. This will be followed by a pop-up in Melbourne at Oshi Gallery on Saturday, November 16, and, lastly, one at Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Sunday, November 17.
Further details on these Australian merch pop-up events can be found on this page.

"From Zero" World Tour continues tonight in Paris, France! Let's quickly recap all the major events of the past two months before getting into tonight's show.
September was an incredible month to be a Linkin Park fan. The band returned to the stage on September 5th with new vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, announcing the release of their new album "From Zero" and premiering the lead single "The Emptiness Machine" in the process, as well as announcing the first six dates of the From Zero World Tour, whose first show followed only 6 days later. The band went on to play 5 more full shows before the month was out, premiering a thunderous 2-hour setlist consisting of new material, their greatest hits and some lesser-known fan favorites. They also appeared on the "Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, and premiered another new song, "Heavy Is the Crown" on September 24th.
In early October the band headed back to Los Angeles to rehearse and prepare for the release their first studio album in over 7 years. In the second half of the month, the band launched a scavanger hunt, much like the 2012 one which ended with the premiere of "Lies Greed Misery" right here on the LPA. This years' hunt gave fans around the world the opportunity to catch glimpses of the lyrics to "Over Each Other" in their hometowns, and upon the finish of the scavanger hunt, the new single was released on October 24th. At the end of October, the band held an album listening party for fans in London, which several of our members attended - check out their thoughts on the new songs here!
As we prepare for the release of "From Zero" in less than 2 weeks, November promises be another landmark month for Linkin Park fans. And to kick it off, let's turn our attention to the band's show in Paris on Sunday evening!
The band returns to France for the 19th time to perform in Paris' La Défense Arena. Their last show in France was in Clisson on June 18, 2017 for Hellfest, and it was a somewhat controversial performance, as some of the primarily-metal festival's audience was less than appreciative of some of the band's then newly released material from "One More Light". Regardless, the band rocked their set and Chester went on to call the French fans "awesome" on X, then Twitter. Check out a video of the debut performance of "From the Inside" on the 2017 European Tour below.
After the Paris show, the band heads back to North America to perform in Arlington, Texas on November 8th, then moves on to South America for a show in Bogota, Colombia on November 11th, before finishing the tour with back-to-back shows on November 15th and 16th in São Paulo, Brazil. Watch out for a tour recap on our forums after the final show of the year!

Shows remaining:

Linkin Park made a return to London in order to give a special live performance of their single and the 2024 Worlds anthem "Heavy Is the Crown" earlier tonight, as part of Riot Games' 2024 Worlds Opening Ceremony.
The Opening Ceremony preceded the absolutely massive League of Legends 2024 World Finals event, which was streamed live from London's O2 Arena, and which saw two finalist professional e-sports teams going head-to-head to be crowned world champion.
The official League of Legends YouTube channel has an official upload featuring the musical performances from the ceremony here - Linkin Park's segment begins at approximately 7:30 into the runtime - but there's also an official edit of the "Heavy Is the Crown" performance just on its own:
For this special event, Linkin Park delivered a new arrangement of "Heavy Is the Crown", outfitting the song with a slightly-longer intro and an extended instrumental bridge section - the latter was used to introduce members of finalist teams T1 and BLG, and highlight the trophy they came to compete for.
Linkin Park's performance was preceded by other performances by Ashnikko, coming with her Arcane Season 2 track "Paint The Town Blue", and Mars Atlas (of Forts) and Tiffany Aris, who dueted their collaboration "Still Here" that featured in a League cinematic earlier this year.
Speaking on "Heavy Is the Crown" during a special band Q&A yesterday, Mike Shinoda explained that Linkin Park's partnership with Riot Games began with him connecting with key figures within the League of Legends team, including Riot Games' Global Head of Music Maria Egan, and Arcane showrunner Christian Linke. The band also spoke briefly on the alternate version of "Heavy Is the Crown" due to appear on the Arcane Season 2 soundtrack album.
The main version of the song, of course, comes off Linkin Park's eighth studio album From Zero, which drops later this year on November 15.

At the 2024 NRJ Music Awards Linkin Park had a featured performance of "The Emptiness Machine" from their upcoming album "From Zero", The performance consists of a recording from their recent concert in Seoul, South Korea, and was not actually performed on the stage in Cannes, France. You can watch the performance below.
While Linkin Park has been preparing for a show in Paris as part of the From Zero world tour, band member Mike Shinoda has taken time to call into Dallas-Fort Worth's ALT 103.7 to speak to afternoon host Ian Camfield ahead of the band's Arlington tour stop later this month.
Linkin Park is bringing the Zero World Tour to Arlington, where they will be performing at Globe Life Field November 8.In the interview, Shinoda gives us some insight into the process and considerations taken to choose new members to fill out Linkin Park's line-up - specifically, he recalls being impressed by Emily Armstrong's vocal renditions of Linkin Park songs "Crawling" and "New Divide". He also speaks on Armstrong acclimating naturally to larger stages and audiences in addition to having an easy chemistry with the other members of the band.
Ahead of the group's performance, Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda had a chat with Camfield and explained why North Texas was chosen to be part of the Zero World Tour, how Emily Armstrong came to be in the band, and what the group hopes to achieve with their newest album From Zero.
Linkin Park is at Globe Life Field November 8, and From Zero will be released everywhere a week later on November 15!
Camfield and Shinoda then go on to discuss the cloak of secrecy surrounding Linkin Park's dramatic return to the stage this past September, and what fans could expect attending the band's Arlington show on November 8.

A new episode of LPTV has just been uploaded to the Linkin Park YouTube channel. This time we get to go behind the scenes of the recently released music video for the bands newest single "Over Each Other". We get to see how the video was filmed, hang with Emily and Kong Seong Ha who plays Emilys "friend" in the video a bit, and Joe finds a really nice looking stick. You can watch the episode below.

We attended the LPU From Zero listening event today in London with LPA admins Joe and Ree getting the chance to listen to the new Linkin Park album twice. Here are some first impressions and thoughts about each track and the album as a whole. I don’t really want to call this a review after hearing the album twice but hopefully it can give you an insight into each song and From Zero.
Shout out to Adam, Lorenzo and WB for putting this event together and being so cool at the listening party. It was also nice to meet other fans and see TobinKnowsBest!
![[IMG]](https://i.imgur.com/ZRQJK5C.jpeg)
From Zero (Intro)
This short intro starts with harmonic group vocals that sound almost biblical before abruptly transitioning to a clip from the studio like we heard at the end of Over Each Other (There’s a few of these in the album). This studio soundbite is Emily saying “From Zero? Like, from nothing?”, essentially pondering the album title in the form of a question before leading into The Emptiness Machine.
The Emptiness Machine
Cut the Bridge
Cut the Bridge starts with a glitchy and blippy intro that’s reminiscent of something like Lost In The Echo if I had to compare it to anything. Drums enter after a little while before guitars are pushed through in the form of a punky, bouncy-like riff, with Mike then entering to rap.
As the song builds you can hear subdued Emily vocals harmonzing in the background before a much more defined chorus with Emily singing and Mike backing her up. It’s a very catchy song with the chorus sounding almost minimalistic with repeating vocals “Cut the bridge we’re on”, “CUT IT DOWN, CUT IT DOWN, CUT IT DOWN DOWN DOWN”.
The song lyrics are about watching things burn a lot, with Mike singing very emphatically on the bridge in a very melodic, catchy, rhyming almost verse-like section that leads into an ending with both Mike and Emily singing before finishing the repeating “CUT IT DOWN” section.
Overall the song is catchy with some interesting dual vocals between Mike and Emily, but it’s not a standout track for me personally, but overall a very Linkin Park-esque song that fits in well with their other work and will be fun live.
Heavy Is the Crown
Over Each Other
Casualty
As expected this song is one of the harder songs on the album after the studio lead in from Over Each Other promised “screamy pants”. Immediately opening with a screaming Emily singing “LET ME OUT, SET ME FREE” before Emily ends with “I Won’t be your casualty”. The song abruptly leads into a bouncy metal riff with very interesting vocals coming in from Mike that we’ve never really heard him sound like before.
I honestly wasn’t 100% sure it was Mike singing/rapping at first due to how different it is. He’s essentially slowly yelling with a coarse vocal to what sounds like an early Metallica style riff that has distorted pauses carrying the track.
Emily and Mike do dual vocals as each sings a line which is very cool and happens a lot on From Zero. Towards the bridge and outro we hear some hard as fuck scratching from Joe Hahn (which happens a few times on the album) as dual vocals puncture the ending with Emily sounding dominant.
One of LP’s better harder tracks that you can compare to War and Victimized if anything. I’d say it’s better than War for sure but will need repeat listens to determine its staying power. Definitely a favourite among the crowd at the listening event though.
I’ve seen some people mention Mike “screams” in this track but I couldn’t pick up on this over two listens. His vocals are definitely unique though and maybe I missed it among the energy of the song.
This song will definitely be interesting to hear them sing live as it sounds like a challenging one after a couple listens.
Overflow
A long preemptive synth sound with a calming melodically electronic intro opens Overflow, with phasing echoing voices in the distance before glitchy imperfections set up another very unique and different vocal delivery from Mike. I noted awesome Deftones-like droning vocals from Mike after his first section, before Emily comes in with some of her highest notes we’ve heard in a song yet.
It’s a very unique Linkin Park song and my personal favourite on the album after two listens. Dare I say A Thousand Suns-esque? That’s my favourite LP album but even with that comparison it’s hard to really equate the two, as Overflow is very much its own thing and one of the more creatively interesting tracks. I can’t really put it on any other album but From Zero.
It has very good vocals and a crunching instrumental that is slow but hard. There’s a face melter guitar riff for the bridge which stands out and takes the song into even more creative territory.
“I keep on filling it up, TO OVERFLOW” Emily sings loudly as the song crescendos with guitar and possible scratching.
Two Faced
Another small interlude in the same vein as the studio soundbites in what sounded like a cassette recorder being pressed to play, or a gun clip loading (I think the cassette tape is more likely), before low demonic-like voices phase in and out. A hard riff kicks in again, scratching also, sounds very punk-esque as Emily harmonizes over it.
Mike’s raps start and it reminds me of Hybrid Theory and Meteora, with the song very much reminding me of Figure 09 and Hit the Floor.
There’s more very cool dual vocals work on this track again with Mike and Emily, with lyrics like “Two faced, caught in the middle, too late, counting to zero” and “You should have recognised, it’s too late to be choosing sides”.
The bridge has Emily screaming with some major fuck-off scratching from Joe Hahn. This song is very old-school LP and it’s going to be a catchy live track. The ending has “CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE” turning to screams before the finale transitions to another studio quip of Emily asking “is that what it is?” before someone answers “we’re on the same page right now.” amidst the conversation.
Stained
Stained begins with a very tense and brooding intro that builds up before Mike comes in with stop/start vocals in the form of a rap. The instrumental sounds very industrial and the production has a Post Traumatic vibe if I had to liken it to anything. Emily vocals sweep the background of the song before moving into a very pop/dance style anthemic chorus you’d expect on a Summer banger and radio hit.
The second verse differentiates itself from the first with Emily repeating what Mike says backing him up. It sounds very cool and is another moment of the two working amazingly well together side by side.
“Because you’re stained, you tried to hide the mark but it won’t fade” Emily sings with an emphasis on a hanging “Stai-ai-ai-ned”
The song feels like it builds up nonstop with the dual vocals shining. Very, very big radio hit material and would reach a wide audience.
IGYEIH
I give you everything I have is what it stands for. We all guessed right. It literally opens with that line from Emily as she screams it for the intro of the song. It’s another punk-like song which I’ve mentioned a few times, but the album definitely has grungy guitars that bounce along on a few tracks.
The verses are Emily but Mike shortly follows in what is essentially a pre-chorus before Emily backs him up. Just more dual vocalist magic. The verses themselves definitely have a pop/rock vibe before leading into the chorus.
I noted that this is a very by-the-numbers rock track with good vocal performances from Emily, with Mike’s pre-chorus vocals being a standout before Emily comes back in. It’s hard to really compare this song with anything and it probably has the most unique outro on the album.
The song essentially sounds like it’s finishing before Emily starts screaming repeatedly “From now on I don’t need you” over and over again as guitars build up and crash into the final song of the album, cementing itself as one of the harder tracks on the album.
Good Things Go
One of the more melodic and powerful songs on the album that has a slower, emotional vibe that will surely be a favourite for some with standout vocals from both Mike and Emily.
“I feel like it’s rained in my head for a hundred days” Mike sings as Emily backs him up. Emily takes the pre-chorus as guitars play softly. I noted that Emily’s vocals are amazing on this song. It has a very anthemic and prolific chorus and pre-chorus “And I, say I hate you when I don’t, push you when you get too close”.
Mike comes in again on the second verse “I’ve asked for forgiveness a hundred times” in what is continuing one of the more introspective and personal sounding tracks on the record. The whole ambience of the song is chill but powerful vocals with the interplay being seamless between Emily and Mike.
Mike’s rapping on the bridge and it’s definitely one of the more personal-sounding raps on the album following the song’s theme. A very cool moment is near the end when Mike sings “I don’t know why I” before Emily comes in and finishes the line with “Say I hate you when I don’t”. Very cool.
The ending is also well done with Emily singing “good things go” as the song abruptly finishes and closes out From Zero. Emily showcases more high register vocals in this song and it’s probably one of our favourites after a couple listens.

From Zero Thoughts
Overall From Zero is a very fast-paced, diverse, and exciting album that is going to be a very easy listen. It’s 31:54 minute album length honestly flies by in the blink of an eye, with the longest song being Cut the Bridge at 3:48. Mike described the album as a compact fireball and it definitely feels like that.
What LP album is it like most? What is it similar to? As you can tell from the three released tracks there’s definitely some variety in styles, and I’m happy to say that the variety continues with a very diverse group of songs that range from HT/Meteoera-style old-school tracks to things that are very different and new for a LP album. Even the songs that sound safe have interesting production and things about them that make them stand out and different.
Fans wanting a more creative side to the band won’t be disappointed I feel. Overflow is a notable song and stands out as being unique, but songs like Casualty and others feel very fresh thanks to the challenges Mike takes on in switching up his vocal styles. Also, we’re happy to report that Mr Hahn is fucking BACK after he shreds up the turntables on a few tracks in what feels like the first time in forever and is definitely a highlight.
I can’t stress enough that the interplay and dual vocals from Mike and Emily throughout is what stands out on From Zero. Almost every song has a cool variation of the two working together, backing each other up, repeating lines the other sings, taking turns to sing one line while the other sings the next… it honestly never gets old and feels very unique and is a defining factor in what Linkin Park is now.
A Thousand Suns is my favourite album in LP’s catalogue, does From Zero reach the heights and creativity of that? I can’t say it does, but honestly I never really expected it to. It’s clear LP wanted to come back with a new singer and drummer and show they can still make banger songs and anthems and they have definitely succeeded with a plethora of songs on From Zero that could be hits and live staples. I will say that the album actually surpassed my expectations in terms of how creative it is. Despite the short song lengths there’s a lot to like and find in these songs that feels new, unique, interesting and an optimistic glimpse into what comes next for the band.
Emily really stands out on From Zero too. Her range is fantastic and as I mentioned, combined with Mike, it’s some of the best dual vocalist work on an LP album. Of course, there’s no replacing Chester and it’s definitely a different vibe and a new chapter, and I can be honest and say even though I was sceptical way back at the launch show, hearing From Zero makes me so happy we still have this band making music.
The new album has something for everyone, and it feels like a showcase of what they’re capable of, with a variety of styles and genres that all have spots of intrigue throughout. Even if you don’t mesh with some of the songs it’s impossible not to find moments that pique your interest, as it’s evident the band are embracing this new chapter and it’s hard not to do the same after hearing how infectious From Zero is. We can't wait to hear it again when it releases November 15.
