Linkin Park has officially signed with WME for representation, with a powerhouse team of point agents including John Marx, Ron Opaleski, Dvora Englefield, Robert Markus, and Josh Javor overseeing their career. The band continues to be managed by Machine Shop Entertainment and remains signed to Warner Records.

Upcoming Album: Linkin Park is set to release their first album in years, From Zero, in November, marking a new chapter in their career. This highly anticipated album features a new lineup that includes vocalist Emily Armstrong, best known as the lead singer of the Los Angeles-based rock band Dead Sara. Armstrong’s powerful voice and dynamic stage presence are expected to bring a fresh sound to the band’s iconic blend of alternative rock, electronic, and nu-metal elements.

Career Highlights: Since their formation in the late 1990s, Linkin Park has become one of the most influential rock bands of the 21st century. With their debut album Hybrid Theory (2000) and follow-up Meteora (2003), the band achieved global success, selling millions of albums and earning numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards. Hits like In the End, Numb, and Crawling defined an era of rock music, blending elements of rock, hip-hop, and electronic music.

The tragic passing of lead vocalist Chester Bennington in 2017 marked a difficult period for the band. While the future of Linkin Park was uncertain for a time, From Zero represents a new beginning for the band, with Emily Armstrong stepping into a prominent vocal role, bringing renewed energy and creativity to the group.

Future Prospects: With WME now representing them, Linkin Park is poised to re-enter the global music scene with a strong team supporting their next phase. Their upcoming album From Zero will be their first major release in years, and fans are eagerly awaiting this new era for the band, which promises to blend their signature sound with fresh influences from their evolving lineup.

As Linkin Park embarks on this new journey, their partnership with WME and the introduction of Emily Armstrong signals a bright future for the band, one that honors their past while embracing new creative directions.
