With a new singer and album on shelves and streaming platforms, Linkin Park are expanding their From Zero World Tour with 50 newly announced dates.
Response to From Zero has been mixed, with some refusing to accept new vocalist Emily Armstrong while others see it as a fresh new start.
Regardless of your view, the album is a hit, and several of the songs figure to be on the setlist when the band comes to Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids on May 1 and appear at Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio, on May 10.
They will make a reappearance in the region toward the end of he summer with a show at United Center in Chicago on Aug. 11 and Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Aug. 14.
“Getting back out on the road has been incredible,” vocalist Mike Shinoda said in a statement. “The fans’ support is overwhelming, and we’re ready to take this energy even further around the world.
“From Zero is a new chapter for us, and we’re so excited to share it with everyone on a bigger scale.”
Grandson will open the Grand Rapids show, and PVRIS will kick things off in Chicago and Detroit.
Romance back on parade
My Chemical Romance will perform their breakout sophomore album The Black Parade in stadiums in 2025.
The Long Live The Black Parade tour has only one stop in our region however, Chicago’s Soldier Field on Aug. 29.
“It has been seventeen years since The Black Parade was sent to the MOAT,” the band said on social media. “In that time, a great Dictator has risen to power, bringing about ‘THE CONCRETE AGE’; a glorious time of stability and abundance in the history of DRAAG.”
If you understand any of what that means or, perhaps, you are just curious to find out, the Windy City is the place you will want to be this summer.
The legendary Devo will open the show.
Catch Father John Misty
Father John Misty’s latest album, Mahashmashana, is due out Nov. 22, and he will tour to support it.
The former Fleet Foxes drummer whose given name is Joshua Tillman has been solo since 2012, and Mahashmashana will be his sixth album released under the Father John Misty moniker.
Check him out when he stops by Kemba Live! in Columbus, Ohio, on Feb. 17 and The Fillmore in Detroit on Feb. 18.
Jack White goes to theaters
Jack White will tour theaters worldwide in 2025 on his No Name Tour, supporting his new album of the same name.
That album was introduced inconspicuously to the public when it was slipped, unmarked, into bags of shoppers at White’s Third Man Records stores.
