Linkin Park’s From Zero World Tour Grosses Are Biggest of Its Career

Linkin Park recently wrapped the From Zero World Tour, a nearly-two-year trek that stopped in 23 countries on five continents and added up to the biggest business of the band’s touring career. According to final figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, the tour grossed $251 million and sold 2.2 million tickets across 80 shows.

The From Zero World Tour ran from Sept. 11, 2024, through June 30, 2026, marking Linkin Park’s first live shows since the passing of original singer Chester Bennington during 2017’s One More Light World Tour. Since then, vocalist Emily Armstrong has joined the band as it returned with From Zero (2024), yielding two Billboard Music Award wins among five nominations, plus two Grammy nods and four nominations at the American Music Awards.

The From Zero World Tour lived up to its name, taking Linkin Park around the world and back. After a jumble of cross-continental shows in the fall of 2024 (in chronological order: Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London, Seoul, Paris, Bogota, Texas, Sao Paulo), the band embarked on proper legs of shows in Mexico, Asia, the United States, Europe, back to the U.S. and Canada, South America, Asia again, Oceania and one last go-around in Europe.

Overall, Europe was the tour’s biggest market, generating $105.9 million from 909,000 tickets over just 19 shows. Despite taking up less than 25% of the tour’s shows, the continent contributed more than 40% of its total earnings and attendance.

While the tour played arenas in much of Asia, North America, and Oceania, it leveled up to stadiums in Europe, where Linkin Park had previously averaged between 13,000 and 15,000 tickets across four tours in the 2010s. On its 2025 European leg, it sold upwards of 56,000 tickets per show, multiplying its nightly audience by a factor of three or four. The band also hit stadiums across Latin America, including sold-out shows in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico.

In four markets — one city in Brazil and three in Germany — Linkin Park played stadium double-headers, moving 101,000 tickets over two nights in Munich (June 11-12, 2025) and 97,000 in Sao Paulo (Nov. 15-16, 2024).

Ultimately, the From Zero World Tour’s total gross lapped any prior Linkin Park run more than 10 times over. While grosses for many of Linkin Park’s early shows were unreported, pro-rating their previous tours’ figures to account for missing dates still leaves its most recent trek out in front by at least four-to-one.

Linkin Park has one of the most sterling chart histories of any rock band from the 21st century with six No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 among 12 top 10s, plus 26 entries on the Billboard Hot 100. On Billboard’s 2023 list of the Greatest of All Time Alternative Artists, which was compiled based on Billboard chart data, the band was ranked No. 4, seated behind three bands that each had multiple No. 1s before Linkin Park’s debut: Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day.

After an extended hiatus following Bennington’s untimely passing, Linkin Park resumed its chart throne, adding three more No. 1s on Alternative Airplay and two more top 10s since 2023.

But despite a quarter-century of consistent chart wins, the From Zero World Tour marks Linkin Park’s biggest outing yet, and first stadium-sized tour on a global scale. They had never appeared on a year-end Top Tours chart until a No. 15 finish in 2025, sandwiched between classic rock stalwarts Iron Maiden and Eagles. The cumulative effects of nostalgia and an aging fan base boosted their touring business similarly to other aughts rock acts like blink-182, My Chemical Romance and System of a Down.

Dating back to a sold-out show at Seattle’s Showbox on Jan. 26, 2001 (1,050 tickets, $13.50 per ticket), Linkin Park has reported grosses of $371.3 million from 4.9 million tickets across more than 300 shows.
