One of the world’s most iconic rock bands is set to make a highly anticipated return to the UAE. Linkin Park will perform live at Etihad Arena, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, on Tuesday, 20 January 2026, in what promises to be one of the biggest music events of the year.
This marks the band’s first UAE performance since 2010, and their first with the new lineup, featuring Emily Armstrong on vocals alongside Mike Shinoda, Dave Farrell, Joe Hahn and Colin Brittain. Fans can look forward to a mix of timeless anthems such as 'In the End', 'Numb' and 'What I’ve Done', alongside new material from their chart-topping album 'From Zero'.
The band’s return carries extra significance for long-time fans, as it reflects Linkin Park’s enduring legacy and evolution after the tragic passing of Chester Bennington in 2017.
With over 51 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a new wave of critical acclaim, the group continues to connect with audiences worldwide. Don't miss your chance to see the return of a band that shaped a generation.
Tickets will be available through a pre-sale 2 September, with the general sales beginning on 4 September 4 at noon. For more details and information, visit Live Nation Middle East.
