Linkin Park Announce Standalone Bengaluru Show Before Lollapalooza 2026
Mike Shinoda, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, Emily Armstrong, and Colin Brittain will perform at Brigade Innovation Gardens on January 23, 2026, marking their first-ever solo show in India
Following the massive response to their Lollapalooza India 2026 debut announcement, Linkin Park has officially confirmed a special standalone concert in Bengaluru as part of their From Zero World Tour. Mike Shinoda, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, Emily Armstrong, and Colin Brittain will perform at Brigade Innovation Gardens on January 23, 2026, marking their first-ever solo show in India.
The announcement followed a clever teaser campaign that took over Bengaluru earlier this week. Mysterious black-and-white billboards featuring Linkin Park’s signature logo began appearing across key city locations, sparking a wave of speculation on social media. Fans quickly connected the dots after noticing similar visuals used in the band’s official promotional materials for their ongoing world tour.
“This past year on the From Zero World Tour has been incredible,” said Mike Shinoda in a statement. “When we announced Lollapalooza India, the warmth and excitement from fans was overwhelming, and we decided that one show just wasn’t enough. We’re thrilled to bring the tour to both Bengaluru and Mumbai on our first-ever trip to India.”
Pre-sales for the Bengaluru concert begin on Friday, November 14, 2025, at 11 AM IST for LPU Legacy members. General on-sale tickets go live at 12 PM IST on Saturday, November 15, 2025, exclusively on BookMyShow. The tour is produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live.
The show will spotlight the band’s chart-topping new album From Zero (Warner Records), which debuted at #1 in 14 countries. Fans can expect a mix of new tracks like The Emptiness Machine and Heavy Is the Crown, along with timeless anthems including In the End and Numb. Supporting the band will be Bloodywood, India’s own metal powerhouse known for their explosive stage presence.
With two recent Grammy nominations for Best Rock Album (From Zero) and Best Rock Performance (The Emptiness Machine) and over 54 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Linkin Park’s global resurgence continues to build momentum, making their India debut one of 2026’s most anticipated live events.
