Three members of Linkin Park are mulling a possible 2025 reunion tour and are considering hiring a female vocalist to succeed late lead singer Chester Bennington , several sources close to the band tell Billboard .

Linkin Park Settles Lawsuit Filed By Ex-Bassist Over Band’s Debut Album

Trending on billboard.

“Very, very cool guys and obviously a great band,” he said. “They’ve been around a long time and they’re still going for it,” he said. “It’s going to be tough without Chester, but we’ll see. I hear they got a girl singer now. That’s what I heard.”

Gordon later issued a statement saying his comments had been taken out of context, writing, “With regards to this linkin park singer thing. I know nothing about any of that.”

Earlier this month, Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee shot down rumors that she might be a candidate for the lead vocal gig. On April 23, the singer told iHeartRadio Canada that, while some Linkin Park fans had been voicing hopes for her to join the band, the group had not contacted her for the gig.

“But that’s awesome,” she said. “They should ask me about that. I don’t have a ton of free time, but I might do it part-time.”

Linkin Park is one of the most successful rock groups from the 2000s, having sold more than 29.4 million albums in the United States, according to Luminate. The band has charted 24 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including three top 10 hits: “In the End” in 2003, “What I’ve Done” in 2007 and “New Divide” in 2009.

The band has also racked up 37.2 million U.S. song downloads and a combined 11.6 billion official on-demand U.S. streams. It has additionally charted six No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, including One More Light , which debuted on May 17, 2017, two months before Bennington took his own life at his home in Southern California.

Billboard reached out to a representative for Linkin Park but did not receive a response.

Linkin Park considering 2025 reunion tour with female singer, according to new report

The nu metal darlings’ booking agency is reportedly taking offers for their first tour since Chester Bennington’s death

Linkin Park are planning a reunion tour with a new lead vocalist for 2025, according to a new report.

The nu metal icons, whose 2000 debut album Hybrid Theory has been certified 12x Platinum in the United States, are hoping to return to the road with an unknown replacement for late vocalist Chester Bennington, says Billboard .

Bennington took his own life in July 2017, aged 41.

Outside of a tribute concert to the singer that October, the band haven’t performed live since.

They also haven’t released a new studio album since May 2017’s One More Light .

However, Billboard says that Linkin Park’s booking agency, WME, is now examining offers for a potential tour and festival headline dates featuring band members Mike Shinoda , Brad Delson and Dave Farrell.

One source told Billboard that the new vocalist the band are eyeing for the tour is female.

Multiple publications have approached Linkin Park representatives for comment and received no response.

Rumours of Linkin Park replacing Bennington with a female singer have circulated since early April.

Jay Gordon, frontman of US industrial rockers Orgy and former Linkin Park collaborator, told Wired In The Empire : “I hear they got a girl singer now. That’s what I heard.”

Gordon later retracted these claims via social media.

“With regards to this linkin park singer thing,” he posted on Facebook, “I know nothing about any of that. People sure do love to take my words out of context.

“I love those guys and wish them the best.

“Wow I was like what in the actual f**k? I said nothing about knowing any of that and never brought it up. I love Chester and there will never be another him ever.

“Strange that that dude [interviewer Mike Z] said something to me about it not the other way around. get real dude. Not cool!”

Despite Gordon’s statement that his interviewer “said something to me about it”, the singer made the comment about Bennington’s alleged replacement unprompted.

Evanescence vocalist Amy Lee was rumoured as a potential candidate for replacing Bennington, but denied that she’d been approached by Linkin Park in a recent interview.

“No, I have not been contacted or anything like that. But [I] feel like our worlds, our fanbases are a lot of the same people,” the frontwoman told iHeart Radio, Canada.

She later added: “But that’s awesome. They should ask me about that. I don't have a ton of free time, but I might do it part time.”

Linkin Park released their first greatest hits compilation, Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000–2023) , on April 12.

Report: LINKIN PARK Considering 2025 Reunion Tour With New Vocalist

According to Billboard , LINKIN PARK is considering a possible 2025 reunion tour with a female vocalist stepping in for late lead singer Chester Bennington .

LINKIN PARK 's booking agency WME is taking offers for a potential tour along with headlining festival dates that would feature Mike Shinoda , Brad Delson and Dave Farrell , Billboard 's sources say.

One of the sources told Billboard that LINKIN PARK is hoping to find a female vocalist to front the reunited band, a rumor which was first started last month by ORGY frontman Jay Gordon who mentioned during a radio interview that he had "heard" that LINKIN PARK was working with a "girl singer now". When pressed, Gordon continued by saying: "Don't quote me on that. I'm not sure who the singer is going to be, but I heard it was gonna be female. They might just try to move on like that. That ought to be interesting." Jay later seemingly walked back his comments, writing in a Facebook post that he knew "nothing about any of that" and accused "people" of taking his words "out of context.".

Last month, EVANESCENCE 's Amy Lee was asked about the some LINKIN PARK fans' desire to see her step in as the replacement for Bennington . "That is an incredible compliment," she said after being told that she was a fan favorite to fill the slot. "I have not heard that. No, I have not been contacted [by LINKIN PARK ] or anything like that. But [I'm a] huge fan feel like our worlds, our fanbases are a lot of the same people."

She continued: "That's really sweet. We never… Well, did we play shows [together]? I don't know if [ EVANESCENCE and LINKIN PARK ] were on a festival together or whatever. We met. We were in the studio at the same time. When we were making 'Fallen' , I just briefly got to have a conversation or two with Chester . He was really sweet.

"But no, it's not true," she clarified in regard to the rumors that could be LINKIN PARK 's new singer. "But that's awesome. They should ask me about that. I don't have a ton of free time, but I might do it part time."

In a recent interview with Revolver , Shinoda downplayed the possibility of a LINKIN PARK reunion, saying: "Rumors always go around. People always ask what's next for the band, and the best answer I can ever give anybody is when there's something to tell you, we will tell you. When there's an announcement to be made, it will be on LinkinPark.com. If you're hearing it from somebody else, you can trust that information as much as you want to trust it."

LINKIN PARK has just released a career-spanning greatest-hits album, "Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000-2023)" . The record also features a previously unreleased track with Bennington , "Friendly Fire" , which was recorded during the sessions for the group's final studio album, 2017's "One More Light" . Bennington died later that year.

Linkin Park considering reunion tour with new female vocalist, reports say

(Gray News) - Linkin Park is reportedly considering reuniting with a female vocalist in place of late frontman Chester Bennington.

Billboard reports three members of the group are considering a 2025 reunion tour with a female vocalist to succeed Bennington.

Following Bennington’s death in July 2017, Linkin Park has been on a hiatus.

The band’s surviving members have only performed together at a tribute concert honoring Bennington in October 2017.

Earlier this year, the group released a new greatest hits album “Papercuts,” celebrating the 20th anniversary of their “Meteora” album.

“Papercuts” quickly grabbed the No. 1 spot for hard rock albums after its release, according to Billboard . It also featured a new song titled “Friendly Fire” featuring never-before-heard vocals from Bennington.

Since Bennington’s death, there have been some discussions on how to continue the band. The group’s co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda has said when there is something to share about the band’s plans, he will.

Regarding the latest rumors, booking agency WME has been reportedly taking offers for a Linkin Park tour along with headlining festival dates featuring Shinoda, Brad Delson and Dave Farrell.

Billboard reports that a source said the band is hoping to find a female vocalist to front the reunited band.

Earlier this month, Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee shared with iHeartRadio Canada that Linkin Park fans have said they would want her to join the band, but the group had not contacted her yet for any such gig.

“I have not been contacted or anything like that. But [I’m a] huge fan, and our fanbases are a lot of the same people,” she said. “They should ask me about that. I don’t have a ton of free time, but I might do it part-time.”

Linkin Park is one of the most successful rock groups from the 2000s, having sold nearly 30 million albums, according to Nielsen Music .

While fans of Linkin Park were excited after a thrilling cover of this Linkin Park classic, they’ve also been wondering if new material from the acclaimed nu-metal group will ever be released. The band has not performed together since October of 2017, mere months after the death of their beloved frontman, Chester Bennington. Lead vocalist Mike Shinoda recently issued the following video statement about the band’s future.

“The only Linkin Park news I have for you is that we talk every few weeks. I talk to the guys, some of the guys and there is no tours, no albums, no music in the pipeline. Let me just tell you that and keep in your minds that is not happening. I’m just going to say that much for now.

Shinoda would add: “There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to Web3; every artist and community is unique. Warner has made some strong first steps in this space, and I look forward to playing a role in further exploration — supporting artists in creating new opportunities, and connecting with fans in unimaginable new ways.”

Linkin Park On New Album ‘A Thousand Suns,’ Tour

By Mikael Wood

Mikael Wood

For their last album Minutes to Midnight , Linkin Park collaborated with Rick Rubin for an LP that found the band moving away from their trademark rap-rock sound. Now the California crew is teaming up with Rubin again for A Thousand Suns — and the iconic producer has helped the band find a totally new voice. “On the last record, Rick’s challenge was getting us to open up our perception of what our music could be,” singer Chester Bennington tells Rolling Stone . “This time we realized it doesn’t matter what the songs sound like. If we like it and it comes from us, it’s Linkin Park.” The group plans to release the album on September 14th while the first single, “The Catalyst,” will arrive on August 2nd.

After a near-fatal crash, xavi is seizing this moment, tana mongeau opens up about alleged underage hookup with youtuber cody ko, shifty shellshock, frontman of crazy town, dead at 49.

A Thousand Suns might be Linkin Park’s most eclectic yet — with lyrics that address everything from the recession to the conflicts in the Middle East. One untitled track mixes Nine Inch Nails-style industrial punk with dreamy synth washes, while another lays a heavy hip-hop beat beneath Bennington’s heartfelt vocal performance. “We’ve got rapport with radio stations and people who want to put our band on the front page of their site,” says Mike Shinoda, who co-produced the disc with Rubin. “They’re gonna give us a shot more so than a band they’ve never heard of. So we’ve got this opportunity to take bigger chances with our records and do something a little more challenging.” Adds Rubin, “The band is making music from a pure place.”

Since releasing their last LP, frontmen Mike Shinoda and Chester pursued solo projects like Bennington’s Dead By Sunrise and Shinoda’s work with Hans Zimmer on the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen score. The time apart helped invigorate the band so much that they’re already considering a follow-up. “At this point we’re writing such great music that I almost want to go do 50 shows around the world and then get right back into making another record,” Bennington says. “Once the ball starts rolling, it’s all I want. It’s like a drug.”

Linkin Park reportedly planning 2025 tour with new female vocalist

The band have been on hiatus since the tragic death of former frontman Chester Bennington in 2017

Linkin Park are reportedly planning a 2025 tour and potentially looking to recruit a female vocalist to succeed late frontman Chester Bennington .

The band have been on hiatus ever since the death of Bennington in 2017, who took his own life aged 41.

However, according to reports from Billboard , the band’s booking agency WME are now taking offers for concerts and festivals featuring Mike Shinoda , Brad Delson and Dave Farrell. Though it’s unclear who will succeed Bennington, a source has apparently told Billboard  that the band are looking for a female vocalist for their reunion.

The news follows a rumour sparked by Orgy’s Jay Gordon , who said he “heard” that Linkin Park “had a girl singer now” back in March. He later  issued a statement clarifying his comments, writing: “With regards to this Linkin Park singer thing,” he wrote. “I know nothing about any of that. People sure do love to take my words out of context. I love those guys and wish them the best.”

NME  have approached Linkin Park’s representatives for comment.

Since Bennington’s death, there have been some discussions on how to continue the band. Shinoda has spoken against the idea of having a Bennington hologram , calling it “creepy”, whilst Evanescence’s Amy Lee has emphatically shot down rumours that she would replace Bennington .

Responding to the rumours, she said: “That is an incredible compliment. I have not heard that. No, I have not been contacted or anything like that. But [I’m a] huge fan feel like our worlds, our fanbases are a lot of the same people.”

Linkin Park released the 20th anniversary edition of ‘Meteora’ last year, where Shinoda and Delson spoke with NME in April about the potential for releasing new unheard material.

“It’s about honouring each creative opportunity as it comes along,” said Delson. “It was an embarrassingly haphazard accident that we found ‘Lost’ and it’s like doing as well as it’s doing. There was not a lot of premeditation beyond, ‘This feels good in the moment, let’s honour that’. It was organic and that’s always really served us. We’ve always done our best work when the creative opportunity feels right.”

Speaking to  NME separately in November, Shinoda commented on the future of Linkin Park, confirming that there was “nothing planned right now”.

“I always just tell people like when there’s news I’ll give you the news. We’ve been doing it for a while and I think our expectation for what’s a proper reissue is kind of high.

“I don’t love putting out Greatest Hits stuff or putting out re-masters of things we’ve done, [so] if we were to do a re-reissue of one of our Linkin Park albums, we want it to be a big deal. If we can’t make it that quality then we won’t do it. If it’s not great then I don’t think we should do it.”

Since that interview, Linkin Park have released the previously unheard ‘Friendly Fire’ with Bennington on vocals , which was originally recorded for the band’s 2017 sessions for ‘One More Light’. They also went on to release ‘Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000-2023)’ in April , a 20-song overview of the band’s best-selling tracks over the past two decades.

In other news, Chester Bennington’s son Draven dropped his debut single ‘F_w_Me’ last spring.

Did Linkin Park’s Plans for a New Singer Just Get Leaked? – ‘Don’t Quote Me on That’

Could Linkin Park be planning their return to the music scene with a new singer? During a recent interview, Orgy frontman Jay Gordon shared some of the speculation he's heard about the band's plans and some interesting information about the direction they're supposedly going for a new vocalist.

UPDATE (April 3, 2024): Jay Gordon has since issued a statement and an additional comment regarding what he said about Linkin Park and a potential new singer. 

What Did Jay Gordon Say About Linkin Park?

Gordon was speaking with KCAL 96.7's RadioActive Mike Z. for his Wired in the Empire weekend radio show as the pair were reminiscing about the singer's history with Linkin Park. Orgy took Linkin Park on their first tour and Gordon later remixed " Pts.OF.Athrty " for the band's Reanimation remix album.

It was during the discussion that Gordon tipped some activity in the Linkin Park camp.

“Very, very cool guys and obviously a great band. They’ve been around a long time and they’re still going for it," remarked the singer. "It’s going to be tough without Chester [Bennington] , but we’ll see. I hear they got a girl singer now. That’s what I heard.”

After Mike Z. posited whether the band might return some day, Gordon walked back his comment some, adding, “Don’t quote me on that. I’m not sure who the singer is going to be, but I heard it was gonna be female. They might just try to move on like that. That ought to be interesting.”

What have linkin park been up to since chester bennington's death.

After Bennington's 2017 passing, the band reunited onstage one more time for a tribute show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles celebrating Bennington's life and the band's music with many of their peers stepping in to handle vocal duties.

Following the emotional performance, the group went on hiatus. Mike Shinoda has since pursued a solo career and become active in producing other artists as well, being the most visible member of the group since they put recording and touring on hold.

Linkin Park have largely remained in the public eye through celebration of their past works, delving into putting together special 20th anniversary packages for their Hybrid Theory debut and Meteora sophomore set.

Earlier this year, they also announced the career-spanning Papercuts singles compilation that's due on April 12.

The singles "She Couldn't," "Lost," "Fighting Myself" and more recently "Friendly Fire" have all come from the reissue album anniversary and singles compilation packages.

In April 2022, Mike Shinoda revealed during a Twitch livestream that the band members still talked regularly, but that there were no tours, no music and no albums in the pipeline.

Which Women Vocalists Have Ties to Linkin Park?

With speculation often comes fans trying to connect the dots to those with ties to the group. So let's name some of the names of those who have associations with the band:

• Chester Bennington Tribute Show Performers

Alanis Morissette was the biggest name of all the female performers joining Linkin Park at the Chester Bennington tribute show, but Morissette has already announced touring plans for 2024.

The tribute show also featured up-and-coming singers such as Ilsey Huber and Kiiara , with the latter already having a close tie to Linkin Park when she duetted with Chester Bennington on the One More Light song "Heavy."

Mike Shinoda has kept the door open for guests on a number of his solo works. The most intriguing of these names might be K. Flay , who was part of Shinoda's song "Make It Up as I Go." She's had some inroads with alt-rock as well as pop music.

Other collaborators include Upsahl, who appeared on the single "Happy Endings" and Kailee Morgue who guests on the more recent hit "In My Head."

Halestorm 's Lzzy Hale honored Chester Bennington at the 2017 Loudwire Music Awards . Her powerful voice could certainly broach the range of Bennington's more melodic work with his screams.

Plus she's shown the ability to work well with others, having appeared on songs with Daughtry, Nita Strauss, Device, Lindsey Stirling, Evanescence, GWAR and others. She's also signed on to sing for Skid Row on a number of shows this year .
