Stream Heavy Is The Crown, taken from the returning nu metal sensations’ next album From Zero, and see which cities they’ve added to their ongoing comeback tour
Linkin Park have added even more momentum to their steamrolling reunion tour by releasing a new single and announcing further live dates.
The nu metal titans, who reactivated earlier this month with Emily Armstrong as lead vocalist, have shared new single Heavy Is The Crown. It’s the second slice of music peeled from upcoming LP From Zero, which comes out on November 15 via Warners. It follows The Emptiness Machine, which was released simultaneously to the announcement of the band’s return, and was recently debuted live at a show in Hamburg on Monday (September 22). Watch the video for the new track, made in collaboration with online game League Of Legends, below.
Linkin Park have also added three stadium shows to their ongoing reunion tour, which hits the O2 Arena in London tonight (September 24). In addition to upcoming concerts in Seoul and Bogota, they’ll be playing in Paris, Dallas and São Paulo. Support in Paris will come from modern metal giants Sleep Token, while Bad Omens, Jean Dawson and Helmet will join the Dallas bill. See further details of the shows, including venues and dates, below. General sale for tickets starts Friday (September 27).
Linkin Park, who became a global success with the release of debut album Hybrid Theory in 2000, entered an unofficial hiatus following the suicide of longtime frontman Chester Bennington in July 2017. Rumours of the band returning with a female singer started up in April this year and were confirmed on September 5. Co-founding drummer Rob Bourdon is absent from the new lineup, replaced by Colin Brittain, and guitarist Brad Delson has stepped away from touring. He’s being filled in for on the road by Alex Feder.
