Linkin Park has been announced to take the stage at the final show of the UEFA Champions League this year.

Exciting Performance Details

Last year, Lenny Kravitz graced the stage before the final match between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid at Wembley Stadium, where Madrid secured a 2-0 victory. Anitta performed the previous year.

In other news, the band recently released their latest single “Up from Below” from their highly anticipated comeback album “From Zero.” This record marks the first since the tragic passing of frontman Chester Bennington and features Emily Armstrong from Sarah as the new lead singer.

The group will embark on their European and UK tour at the end of this year, with a stop at Wembley Stadium on June 28. See all announced tour dates here for UK tickets and here for international tickets.

“From Zero” received a three-star review from NME, which described the album as an “intriguing blend of sensational stadium rock and some tired rehashing of previous songs.”

“It’s crucial to view ‘From Zero’ as a reset, as its title suggests, paying homage to the band’s original name: Xero,” the review stated. “Thus, any comparisons to their vast discography should consider the fresh starting point from which ‘From Zero’ emerged, fueled by the genuine desire of Brad Delson, Dave Farrell, Joe Hahn, and Mike Shinoda to create together as Linkin Park.”

The band is set to release a deluxe edition of the LP on May 16. You can pre-order it here.
