Continuing their meteoric return, LINKIN PARK present the Deluxe Edition of their acclaimed album FROM ZERO, out now on Warner Records.
The band notably extended and expanded the original chart-topping record with three brand new tracks, including the latest “Let You Fade.” Capping off this body of work, the cathartic closer doubles as an emotional highpoint boosted by the interplay between Mike Shinoda and Emily Armstrong over the ebb-and-flow of the song’s heavy intro and hushed bridge. Once again, it showcases LINKIN PARK’s innate grasp of dynamics, thriving in the midst of sonic extremes with grace, tension, and release.
“Up From The Bottom” initially kickstarted this Deluxe chapter. Soaring into the Top 5 at both Alternative and Rock Radio, it has gathered 42 million Spotify streams and 22 million YouTube views on the music video. Earning acclaim, Revolver applauded, “It taps into the propulsive, pop-punk-ish and mid-tempo spirit of last year’s FROM ZERO single “The Emptiness Machine,” and likewise features piano embellishment and a bridge sporting turntables, 808 beats and more,” and NME hailed it as “ferocious” and “explosive.’
Following unforgettable shows everywhere from Mexico to Tokyo, Jakarta, and beyond, the From Zero World Tour—produced by Live Nation—is currently underway in the U.S. Next up, LINKIN PARK will headline and ignite the UEFA Champions League final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi® and UC3 on May 31st at the Munich Football Arena. From there, the tour continues with sellout dates at Wembley Stadium in London, Stade de France in Paris, and Boston’s TD Garden where a second date has been added for July 31 due to overwhelming demand. This massive global jaunt carries them through to the end of the year, concluding on November 11 in Brasilia, Brazil. Special guests Spiritbox, AFI, Architects, grandson, Jean Dawson, JPEGMAFIA, and PVRIS will join on select dates.

The shows continue to receive acclaim. City Beat Cincinnati chronicled the band’s headline set in front of 100,000 fans at the sold-out Sonic Temple in Columbus, OH. Of the latter, Substream Magazine put it best, “The fans’ reaction to the new lineup and return was more than just acceptable. They loved it! It was as if the band didn’t skip a beat. Although Chester is missed, the fans seemed to embrace Emily Armstrong and some feel this may have been the best performance of the entire festival.” The News & Observer praised the Raleigh show, writing, “Armstrong used her voice and dynamic stage presence, including her growling, brain-piercing screams, not to replace Bennington, but to incorporate herself into the band’s driving force as a whole.”
