Linkin Park recently wrapped the From Zero World Tour, a nearly-two-year trek that stopped in 23 countries on five continents and added up to the biggest business of the band’s touring career. According to final figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, the tour grossed $251 million and sold 2.2 million tickets across 80 shows. The From Zero World Tour ran from Sept. 11, 2024, through June 30, 2026, marking Linkin Park’s first live shows since the passing of original singer Chester Bennington during 2017’s One More Light World Tour. Since then, vocalist Emily Armstrong has joined the band as it returned with From Zero (2024), yielding two Billboard Music Award wins among five nominations, plus two Grammy nods and four nominations at the American Music Awards.

After a jumble of cross-continental shows in the fall of 2024 (in chronological order: Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London, Seoul, Paris, Bogota, Texas, Sao Paulo), the band embarked on proper legs of shows in Mexico, Asia, the United States, Europe, back to the U.S. and Canada, South America, Asia again, Oceania and one last go-around in Europe. Overall, Europe was the tour’s biggest market, generating $105.9 million from 909,000 tickets over just 19 shows. Despite taking up less than 25% of the tour’s shows, the continent contributed more than 40% of its total earnings and attendance. While the tour played arenas in much of Asia, North America, and Oceania, it leveled up to stadiums in Europe, where Linkin Park had previously averaged between 13,000 and 15,000 tickets across four tours in the 2010s. On its 2025 European leg, it sold upwards of 56,000 tickets per show, multiplying its nightly audience by a factor of three or four. The band also hit stadiums across Latin America, including sold-out shows in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. In four markets — one city in Brazil and three in Germany — Linkin Park played stadium double-headers, moving 101,000 tickets over two nights in Munich (June 11-12, 2025) and 97,000 in Sao Paulo (Nov. 15-16, 2024).

While grosses for many of Linkin Park’s early shows were unreported, pro-rating their previous tours’ figures to account for missing dates still leaves its most recent trek out in front by at least four-to-one. Linkin Park has one of the most sterling chart histories of any rock band from the 21st century with six No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 among 12 top 10s, plus 26 e
