New Delhi: Global rock icons Linkin Park are set to make their India debut in 2026 with not just one but two major performances — including a newly announced standalone concert in Bengaluru on January 23, a day before their headline act at Lollapalooza India in Mumbai.
The Bengaluru concert, part of the band’s From Zero World Tour, will be held at Brigade Innovation Gardens.
The event marks the group’s first-ever appearance in India and comes amid massive fan anticipation following the announcement of their Lollapalooza lineup for January 24 and 25.
“The response from Indian fans was so incredible that we knew one show wouldn’t be enough,” said Mike Shinoda.
“We’re excited to play for our fans in both Bengaluru and Mumbai during our first visit to India.”
Linkin Park, known for timeless hits like In the End, Numb, and Crawling, returned to the global stage in 2024 after a seven-year hiatus that followed the death of lead vocalist Chester Bennington.

The band now features Shinoda alongside Emily Armstrong, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, and Colin Brittain.
Their comeback album, From Zero, has received global acclaim, featuring tracks like Lost, Friendly Fire, and Heavy Is the Crown. Fans in India can expect a mix of new songs and classic anthems during the tour.
Indian metal band Bloodywood will open the Bengaluru concert.
Tickets go on sale from November 15 at 12 pm on BookMyShow, which is also producing and promoting the tour through its live entertainment division, BookMyShow Live.
