Linkin ParkAfter sharing a teaser for their forthcoming documentary film, Linkin Park: Unshatter, at this year’s Rock Am Ring in June, the American nu-metal icons have confirmed the official release date.
The feature documentary lands in cinemas across the globe on Wednesday, 30 September. Fans can sign up for information about the film coming to their cities now, and purchase tickets from Thursday, 13 August. You can find more details on the Unshatter website.
Directed by longtime band member Joe Hahn – professionally known as Mr Hahn, he’s a musician, DJ, director, and visual artist for the band – Linkin Park: Unshatter will chronicle the band’s shock comeback, which arrived seven years after they went on hiatus following the tragic passing of singer Chester Bennington.
The film is set to not only follow Linkin Park’s return to the stage, but also their journey “through loss, resilience and creative reinvention,” per Deadline.

The documentary will reportedly contain rare archival footage, behind-the-scenes moments, studio sessions, and live performances of their reunion, culminating in an epic album release show in São Paulo in 2024.
It’ll include early recording sessions from 2022, including the creation of the band’s eighth album, From Zero, released in 2024, and detail their latest chapter with new members Emily Armstrong (vocals) and Colin Brittain (drums).

Along with the film’s cinema release, Linkin Park are unveiling a companion soundtrack album, Unshatter (Live From São Paulo), on Friday, 25 September. The record will also include songs that don’t feature in the film. You can pre-order/pre-save the album here.
“Unshatter follows a very particular moment in Linkin Park’s history and documents a path through loss, uncertainty, friendship, and reinvention,” Hahn commented in a statement.
He continued, “I hope longtime fans see parts of our journey they’ve never seen before, and I hope people who are just discovering our music come away with a better understanding of how we got here.
“But even beyond Linkin Park, I hope people connect with it as a story about relationships, resilience, and what it really takes to move forward when you don’t have all the answers.”
Linkin Park brought their From Zero tour to Australia in March. However, their Adelaide date was cancelled due to “an illness in the band.”
Reviewing the band’s first show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, The Music’s Claire Dunton wrote, “The first of seven shows in the Australian leg of the tour was an unbelievable feat of production, effects, and sound, proving that Linkin Park still holds their crown as rock royalty.”
