FULL SETLIST: Linkin Park’s First Aussie Show In 13 Years

Aussie nu metal diehards: Linkin Park have landed.

The icons of heavy music officially kicked off the Australian leg of their From Zero World Tour last night at Brisbane Entertainment Centre – marking their first show on Aussie soil since 2013 and their first-ever Australian performance with new co-vocalist Emily Armstrong.

Linkin Park – ‘What I’ve Done’ Live In Brisbane 2026

And if the Brisbane opener is anything to go by, fans heading to the remaining shows across Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney are in for a very stacked night.

Following a set from homegrown metalcore heroes Polaris, the band ripped through a 27-song setlist spanning their entire career, balancing brand new material from their ARIA #1 album From Zero with a generous serving of the Chester Bennington-era classics that helped define a generation of nu metal.

Yep – the big ones are all there.

In The End, Numb, Crawling, What I’ve Done, One Step Closer, Papercut and Faint all made appearances, alongside deeper cuts like From The Inside and Waiting For The End.

The new era gets its moment too, with multiple tracks from From Zero woven through the set – including The Emptiness Machine, Heavy Is The Crown, Overflow, Two Faced, Up From The Bottom and Stained – giving fans their first taste of how the band’s new chapter translates to the arena stage.

The show itself is broken into four distinct acts (plus an encore), with cinematic interludes and intro sequences threaded throughout the set – including recurring motifs built around Castle of Glass.

There are also a few fun curveballs sprinkled in the mix.

Mike Shinoda briefly revisits his Fort Minor era with a short performance of ‘Where’d You Go’, while the band also squeeze in a mash-up moment featuring When They Come For Me and Fort Minor’s Remember The Name. Meanwhile DJ Joe Hahn gets his own spotlight moment with a solo segment before the band launches back into the chaos.

The encore brings the nostalgia levels to critical mass, with ‘Papercut’, ‘In The End’ and ‘Faint’ closing the night – the latter stretching into an extended outro that sends the crowd home suitably wrecked.

Linkin Park’s Aussie tour marks a major moment for the band, who returned to the stage last year following the tragic passing of frontman Chester Bennington in 2017. With Emily Armstrong (Dead Sara) stepping into co-vocal duties alongside Mike Shinoda, the band’s latest era has already proven a huge success, with From Zero debuting at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Now, Aussie fans are finally getting to see that new chapter live.

If Brisbane’s launch show is any indication, it’s equal parts tribute, celebration and fresh start – with a setlist that manages to honour the past while making space for the future.

And yep, you will almost certainly lose your voice by the time In The End rolls around.
