Fans of Linkin Park around the world have been given an emotional announcement as the band officially confirmed the 2026 Remembrance Tour, a powerful tribute honoring the legacy of their late frontman Chester Bennington. Nearly a decade after his passing in 2017, the band says the tour will celebrate the voice and spirit that defined a generation of rock fans. In a heartfelt statement shared with fans, the group explained that the tour will not only revisit their most iconic songs but also serve as a global moment of remembrance for the singer whose voice shaped their identity.
The band revealed that the tribute tour will begin on March 14, 2026 in Los Angeles, California, the city where Linkin Park built much of its early career. From there, the group will travel across North America, performing in Chicago on March 21, Toronto on March 25, New York City on March 30, and Dallas on April 4. Each show will feature special visual tributes, including archival footage of Bennington performing some of the band’s most beloved songs that helped define early 2000s rock.
Following the North American leg, the band will take the tribute overseas for a European run beginning May 12 in London, followed by Paris on May 16, Berlin on May 20, Amsterdam on May 24, and Madrid on May 28. The group says the European dates are especially meaningful, as many of the band’s biggest international crowds came from these cities during their peak touring years. Fans can expect emotional moments during the concerts, with the band planning to dedicate several performances of classic songs to Bennington’s memory.
The tour will then continue into Asia and Oceania in June, beginning June 6 in Tokyo, June 10 in Seoul, June 14 in Singapore, and June 20 in Sydney. These stops are expected to attract thousands of longtime fans who grew up listening to albums like Hybrid Theory and Meteora, both of which featured Bennington’s unforgettable vocal performances. According to the band, several special guest artists will also join selected shows to perform songs that helped shape the band’s legacy.
Members of Linkin Park said the idea for the remembrance tour came after years of reflection and conversations with fans who still feel a deep connection to Bennington’s music. The band emphasized that the tour is not about replacing the singer but about celebrating the impact he had on millions of listeners around the world. During the shows, the stage will include a special visual tribute where images and live-performance footage of Bennington will appear during key songs, allowing fans to relive some of the most powerful moments in the band’s history.
Tickets for the 2026 Remembrance Tour are expected to sell quickly, as fans across the globe prepare to gather once again to celebrate the music that defined a generation. For many, this tour will be more than just a concert series—it will be a tribute to the life, passion, and voice of Chester Bennington, whose performances on songs like Numb and In the End continue to resonate with listeners years after they were first released. As the band prepares to take the stage again, the message behind the tour remains clear: the voice may be gone, but the legacy will never fade.
