Linkin Park to return to UAE in 2026 with ‘From Zero’ world tour

After more than a decade, Linkin Park is set to electrify the UAE once again with a powerful live performance. The band, composed of Mike Shinoda, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, Emily Armstrong, and Colin Brittain, will take the stage on January 20, 2026, as part of their From Zero World Tour — their first UAE show since 2010.

The concert, presented by Live Nation Middle East in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral, will highlight the band’s latest album From Zero under Warner Records, which soared to #1 in 14 countries. The tour will feature new tracks such as The Emptiness Machine and Heavy Is The Crown, alongside the band’s timeless anthems that have defined their 20+ year career.

“We’ve had such a great time on the From Zero World Tour this last year,” Mike Shinoda shared. “It’s been 15 years since we last played in the UAE and we’re so excited to go back and see our fans there.”
