Linkin Park performed their new single "The Emptiness Machine" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night, September 17. Should you have missed that performance, you can check it out in all its fog-heavy glory above.
Linkin Park in 2024 is new vocalist Emily Armstrong and new drummer Colin Brittain in place of Rob Bourdon alongside classic members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, Joe Hahn. For their live shows, Delson is being filled in for by guitarist Alex Feder.
So why come back as Linkin Park? According to Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda in a recent interview with Q101, it just felt right to come back as Linkin Park.
"In the middle of the process, we were open to, like, maybe the lineup is like a moving lineup, maybe there's multiple vocalists, maybe it's a different name, stuff like that," said Shinoda.
"And then as the music came into focus, we were, like, 'This is as Linkin Park an album as we could make. It's so Linkin Park that if we call it something else, then we are idiots.' Because it would be like misrepresentation. It'd be silly. And when people hear more of the album, they will understand that."
Linkin Park will release their comeback album From Zero on November 15. Pre-orders are available here. Linkin Park also has a few remaining dates on their From Zero World Tour happening throughout Europe now that the Los Angeles and New York shows have wrapped up. Get those dates below.
