Vana (pronounced VAH-NAH), originally from Anaheim, California is a New Zealand-based artist whose industrial alt-metal sound merges brutal riffs with haunting electro-pop elements, trap-influenced production, and visceral breakdowns. Vana is entirely self-taught, building her sound and fanbase independently before signing to Sumerian Records in 2025.

The From Zero World Tour will see Linkin Park perform new hits like The Emptiness Machine and Heavy Is The Crown alongside iconic anthems spanning their 20+ year career. Following the release of Heavy Is The Crown, the official League of Legends World Championship Anthem and their first collaboration with Riot Games, Linkin Park reasserted their position as one of rock’s defining voices. The song’s hard-hitting rhythm and anthemic energy embody the bold, renewed spirit of the band, resonating with fans across the globe and paving the way for From Zero.

Linkin Park made their triumphant return to the spotlight with The Emptiness Machine, which surged to #1 on both the Billboard Alternative and Mainstream Rock Airplay charts, marking their 13th and 11th chart-toppers on these lists, respectively. The song also debuted at #4 on the UK Singles Chart, achieving the band’s highest UK chart position in their 24-year career.

With over 54 million monthly listeners on Spotify and accolades from Billboard, The New York Times, and The Los Angeles Times on their recent singles, Linkin Park’s comeback has proven they are more influential than ever. Their timeless appeal, and their latest music has struck a powerful chord, propelling them to the forefront of rock music once again.
