It's not just a fan's dream of refusing to grow old: Linkin Park is coming back to Lyon! And they’re not joking. On June 16, 2026, the legendary American band will shake the stands of Groupama Stadium for the first time since 2001. Let’s just say that in 25 years, we've had plenty of time to wear their CDs down to the bone, to mourn Chester Bennington, to doubt a possible return… and yet, they are truly here.

It was in September 2024 that the machine got moving again. Seven years after the loss of their iconic leader, Linkin Park surprised everyone with a shocking announcement: new lineup, new voice, new era. And not just any voice: it belongs to Emily Armstrong, a Californian musician with a gritty tone and an attitude that’s a mix of Janis Joplin and Hayley Williams. A female singer in Linkin Park? Yes. And it’s a big yes. Despite the grumblers in the back screaming betrayal, the single Heavy is the crown has brought everyone to an agreement. A powerful title, with lyrics that...trospectif, énergie brute: Linkin Park's DNA is still there, just reconfigured.

Lyon will vibe to the rhythm of Linkin Park 25 years later

The band even pulled off a masterstroke by featuring on the soundtrack of season 2 of Arcane, the phenomenon animated series on Netflix. As a result: a fanbase pumped up by League of Legends has just discovered what it’s like to scream Numb at the top of their lungs. Progress doesn't stop.

As Hellfest is about to welcome the band next month, Lyon will also get to vibe to the sounds of In The End, Somewhere I Belong, or some new gems in June 2026.Mark the date in your calendars with a Stabilo, pull out your oversized black hoodies, and get ready to scream your heart out until your voice goes hoarse: Linkin Park is back, and they’re not planning to hold back! Ticket sales open on Wednesday, June 4th at 9 AM sharp here!
