LINKIN PARK is the magnetic hub of an emotional and cultural community—staggering in scope, intimate in connection, and wholly unique. Blending sonic and visual inspiration under the name Xero, later Hybrid Theory, before finally settling on LINKIN PARK, Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, Brad Delson, Joseph Hahn, Rob Bourdon, and Dave “Phoenix” Farrell had no idea they were about to become the biggest rock band of their generation. In 2000, they released their first full-length, Hybrid Theory. Certified Diamond, it became “the bestselling debut of the 21st century.” Seven seminal albums followed: Meteora, Collision Course, Minutes To Midnight, A Thousand Suns, LIVING THINGS, The Hunting Party, and One More Light. LINKIN PARK has received multiple GRAMMY Awards, sold over 100 million albums worldwide, and notched five #1 Billboard debuts.

After the tragic loss of Bennington in 2017, the band came to a devastating halt; their future obscured by grief and unanswered questions. Friendships led the way. Mike, Brad, Phoenix, and Joe began making music together again. They met Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain, jam sessions organically morphed into recording, and LP quietly crafted a collection of songs channeling the open-hearted spontaneity of starting over: FROM ZERO. Earning some of the highest critical praise of their career, FROM ZERO peaked at #1 in 14 countries, igniting the triumphant FROM ZERO WORLD TOUR and LINKIN PARK’s continuing artistic evolution.
