Linkin Park fans are buzzing with excitement as the band gears up for its highly anticipated From Zero World Tour 2025. On March 27, 2025, Live Nation BR, the event producer behind the tour, confirmed that the band will perform at three major venues in Brazil: Estádio Couto Pereira in Curitiba, Estádio Morumbi in São Paulo, and Arena BRB Mané Garrincha in Brasília. However, the absence of shows in Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro has left many fans feeling disappointed and confused.
Initially, when the tour was announced back in November 2024, Linkin Park had confirmed performances in Rio de Janeiro on November 8, São Paulo on November 10, Brasília on November 13, and Porto Alegre on November 15. However, the recent promotional posts from Live Nation have sparked concerns that the shows in these two cities might be canceled.
In a social media post earlier today, Live Nation shared photos of the Linkin Park flag displayed at the confirmed venues, but notably excluded images from Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro. The caption read, "Today - 20h," hinting that more information regarding the tour would be revealed later in the day. This has led to a flurry of comments from fans on Instagram, many of whom expressed their frustration at the potential cancellation of shows in their cities. One user lamented, "If they weren’t going to announce it earlier, then why take the shows away from RJ and POA? Ridiculous!" Another echoed the sentiment, saying, "Porto Alegre is the only capital that no international artist comes to. They managed to take it away!"
As the clock ticks towards the anticipated announcement time, fans are left wondering if Linkin Park will clarify the situation regarding the missing shows. Live Nation had earlier indicated that additional details about the tour, including dates and ticket sales, would be announced at 20:00. This has only added to the intrigue surrounding the tour, as fans eagerly await confirmation of the full lineup of cities.
Linkin Park's return to Brazil is particularly significant for many fans, as the band has undergone substantial changes in recent years. The 2025 tour marks the first since the tragic passing of lead vocalist Chester Bennington in 2017. Since then, the band has introduced a new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, who joined the group in September 2024. Armstrong's addition is seen as a fresh start for the band, and many fans are excited to see how she will interpret the classic hits that have defined Linkin Park's legacy.
In addition to the tour announcement, Linkin Park has also released a new album titled From Zero, which is now available on all major digital platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. The album features a mix of new material that showcases the band’s evolution while still honoring its iconic sound.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the tour dates in Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro, the confirmed performances in Curitiba, São Paulo, and Brasília are expected to draw large crowds. As anticipation builds, fans hope for a positive update that will include their cities in the tour schedule.
The From Zero World Tour is not only a chance for fans to experience Linkin Park's music live but also serves as a tribute to the band's resilience and ability to adapt in the face of change. As they prepare to hit the stage once again, the band aims to connect with audiences in a way that honors their past while looking forward to the future.
As the day progresses, all eyes are on Live Nation and Linkin Park to see how they will navigate the challenges of this tour. Will they address the concerns of fans in Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro? For now, the excitement is palpable, and the hope remains strong that Linkin Park will deliver an unforgettable experience for fans across Brazil.
With the clock striking 20:00, fans are poised for news that could change the course of the tour. As Live Nation prepares to release the awaited details, the anticipation is almost tangible. Will the missing shows be reinstated, or will the tour proceed as planned with only three cities? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: Linkin Park's legacy continues to resonate deeply with fans, and the upcoming tour promises to be a significant chapter in the band's storied history.
