Linkin Park seem to already be working on new music.
A new documentary about the nu metal superstars’ 2025 world tour dates, which was uploaded to Youtube on Wednesday (March 5), ends with guitarist/vocalist Mike Shinoda and lead singer Emily Armstrong recording what sounds like a new song.
Shinoda and Armstrong are seen in a studio in Los Angeles, with Armstrong singing the lyric ‘Sometimes it feels like…’ over thumping rock music before the video abruptly cuts to black.
If the band are indeed at work on something new, it would mark an incredibly fast turnaround, as their comeback album From Zero came out in November. It was their first newly recorded music to come out in seven years: they went on an unofficial hiatus in 2017, following the death of longtime frontman Chester Bennington that July, aged 41.
Linkin Park confirmed their return, as well as the addition of Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain to the lineup, in September. They embarked on a short world tour towards the end of the year, and will play around the globe more extensively this year. In November, the band announced more than 50 concerts on four continents, with the next leg, a North American run, set to kick off in April.
From June to July, Linkin Park will play across Europe. The shows will include their biggest-ever London date at the 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium, as well as sets at such festivals as Hellfest and Open’er Festival. See all of the band’s upcoming live plans below.
In an interview with Billboard last year, Shinoda explained why Linkin Park decided to reunite under their established name, despite the major lineup changes they underwent during their seven-year downtime.
“To call it anything else would be strange and misleading,” he said. “We teach our kids that when you fall down, you have to get back up and you have to go try again, right? The idea of us doing some other thing, with this group of people and the sound of this music, feels like it would have been a resignation, in a way… it would feel like hedging a bet.”
