The first band to go on tour is Linkin Park, as they kick their’s off in September 2024.

The band went on hiatus after the tragic death of their singer Chester Bennington.

But in September 2024, they revealed that they would be making a comeback.

Original members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave “Phenix” Farrell and Joe Hahn return, and songwriter and producer Colin Brittain joins the band as the drummer.

They are joined by new singer, Emily Armstrong.

News of the reunion was followed by the release of their new single- The Emptiness Machine and their new album From Zero will arrive in November 2024, their first since the 2017 anthem, One More Light.

Mike Shinoda said: “Before Linkin Park, our first band name was Xero.

“This album title refers to both this humble beginning and the journey we’re currently undertaking.

“Sonically and emotionally, it is about past, present, and future—embracing our signature sound, but new and full of life.

“It was made with a deep appreciation for our new and longtime bandmates, our friends, our family, and our fans.

We are proud of what Linkin Park has become over the years, and excited about the journey ahead.”

He said: “My love of football and my support of West Ham is no secret, and I know many of our fans around the world have shared that with me too.

“So we’re all very excited to be playing at the London Stadium as part of the Run For Your Lives tour.

Oasis

Fans were thrilled when the long-awaited Oasis reunion finally became a reality.

In August 2024, singers Liam and Noel Gallagher confirmed their comeback shows with a special announcement.

The original batch of tickets went on sale on August 31, 2024.

However, following an incredible demand, tickets sold out straight away.

Then, due to a backlash over prices, ticket websites crashing, and long queues, Oasis released more tickets on September 14, 2024 – these too have sold out.

The band are yet to announce their support acts, however, The Sun revealed how it could be the band, Blossoms.

The group supported Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds when they played a special show at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

A source said: “Noel and Liam and Blossoms have been friends for years and with the band also coming from Manchester asking them to support Oasis was a no brainer.

“It will be announced in due course but Blossoms have agreed to support Oasis at their Heaton park shows – naturally they jumped at the chance.”

Aside from Noel and Liam Gallagher, the line-up for the band is yet to be revealed, although Gem Archer and Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs are strongly expected to play.
