Emo fans were in shock after beloved 00s band, Linkin Park, announced a reunion last year, however, their reunion tour has hit a bump in the road.
The From Zero tour was announced after they revealed new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, seven years on from the emotional death of frontman Chester Bennington.
Linkin Park dropped a new album featuring vocals from Emily to generally positive responses but it seems the tour hasn’t been quite as big a hit with fans.
The Numb legends revealed as part of their US tour, their previously announced gig at Dodger Stadium has been moved to Intuit Dome.
According to the Daily Mail, this was due to low ticket sales — with the new venue capacity at just a third of the stadium’s whopping 56,000.
Now, the gig will go ahead at the smaller Intuit Dome, hosting 18,000 fans, on September 13, 2025.

The band wrote on social media: ”Los Angeles: Our LA show on 9/13 will now be at Intuit Dome with @jpegmafia. If you purchased tickets previously, you will be refunded & have first shot at buying tickets at Intuit Dome. Can’t wait to see you there!’
They also added that South American dates would be coming soon, which have since been announced with LPU pre-sales now open.
Queens of the Stone Age will no longer open for the band at the Los Angeles show and tickets were being sold for a much discounted price.
At the new venue, fans could secure two ‘Up from the Bottom’ tickets for $39.50 (£30.57) with ‘randomly assigned’ seats.
These discounted tickets don’t appear to have been widely known about previously and drastically compare to prices such as £213 for their UK arena shows.

Fans took to social media to share their opinions on the venue change, seeming rather sympathetic to the reformed group’s struggle to sell out.
‘Really upset that the Dodger Stadium show was moved and my tickets got cancelled. No run the risk of not being able to see the band cause we have to rebuy tickets to Intuit Dome,’ wrote RichGinter on X.
Kingharleypup suggested: ‘I’m thinking you couldn’t fill up Dodger stadium so you changed the venue to something more intimate…by about 40,000 people. 🙄’
‘Hate that they have to do this to get enough ticket sales but also love that this makes it more accessible for people,’ said shansremedy.
Siriusalt shared: ‘The state of rock music in America is embarrassingly bad 😭 and this is one of the greatest and biggest bands ever bro.’

KciriaSicnarf added: ‘Embarrassing for the US. Prepared to have night 2 shows throughout this tour, and can’t even sellout the first ones. Meanwhile, international shows are selling out like soccer games.’
Fans from Brazil were desperately asking why Rio de Janerio was not included in the tour, despite Sao Paulo, Brasília and Curitiba all getting shows.
The other South American dates on the limited tour included Buenos Aires in Argentina, Bogota in Columbia and Lima, Peru.
Meanwhile, in Europe this summer, UK and Irish fans will only be able to see Linkin Park perform at one concert in London’s Wembley Stadium on June 28 – aka Glastonbury weekend.
There are also dates in Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Poland across June and July.
Tickets are still up for grabs at Wembley, costing fans on average around £200 a pop plus any booking fees.
