Linkin Park has announced that Polaris and Vana will open for them on their From Zero World Tour in Australia and New Zealand next month. Polaris will kick off the shows at all Australian venues, starting with Adelaide on March 12. Vana will perform at the Auckland show on March 18. This marks Linkin Park’s first trip to Australia and New Zealand since 2013.
The band, featuring Mike Shinoda, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, Emily Armstrong, and Colin Brittain, will hit the road starting March 3 at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre and wrap up on March 18 at Auckland’s Spark Arena.
Polaris, formed in 2012, has released three studio albums. Their 2017 album, The Mortal Coil, and 2020’s The Death Of Me both reached the Australian Top 10. Their latest album, Fatalism, topped the ARIA Albums Chart in 2023 and earned a nomination for the Australian Music Prize.
Vana, originally from Anaheim, California, now calls New Zealand home. She blends industrial metal with electronic beats and trap production. After building her fanbase independently, she signed with Sumerian Records in 2025.
Fans can look forward to hearing tracks from Linkin Park’s 2024 album, From Zero, along with classic hits from their two-decade career. The lead single has already topped both the Billboard Alternative and Mainstream Rock Airplay charts, marking their 13th and 11th number one hits, respectively. It also reached number four on the UK Singles Chart, their best performance there in 24 years.
“Heavy Is The Crown” was chosen as the official anthem for the League of Legends World Championship in collaboration with Riot Games. From Zero has already surpassed one billion streams since its release in November 2024. Tickets are still available for all shows. Check out the full tour details and VIP packages online.
