Your Guide To Linkin Park In Melbourne: Setlist, Start Time And Getting There
Rock legends Linkin Park are bringing their high-octane From Zero World Tour to Melbourne and it’s set to be nothing short of monumental. After all, this is their first visit to Australia since 2013 (and first with Emily Armstrong as lead singer), meaning anticipation is through the roof.
Linkin Park will be taking over Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 8 March and Tuesday 10 March, performing new hits like The Emptiness Machine and Heavy Is The Crown, as well as iconic anthems from their 20+ year career that have garnered billions of streams (and probably quite a few sore throats because you can’t sing “in the end it doesn’t really matter” with an inside voice).
There are still a few tickets left to their performances which you can grab here. Or, if you’re already locked in, here’s what you need to know for Linkin Park’s From Zero World Tour in Melbourne:

How To Get There (And Home Again)
The easiest way to get to the Rod Laver Arena is by public transport, and you've got options.
If you're getting a train, you can walk from Richmond, Jolimont and Flinders Street stations, but Jolimont is closest. You can also get the tram—the number 70 stops at Rod Laver Arena and the 48 and 75 stop at the MCG on Wellington Parade. The 246 bus also stops at the corner of Olympic Boulevard and Punt Road.
If you prefer to drive, parking at is available at the Eastern Plaza Car Park. Spaces are subject to availability so it's strongly recommended that you pre-book your spot. Booking will also save you some cash, with a pre-booked space setting you back $20 while a drive-up spot costs $30.
Pro tip: leaving just before the final encore can save you serious time if you’re not emotionally attached to the last song.
