Linkin Park Performs at 2025 UEFA Champions League Final in Munich

Linkin Park delivered a high-energy performance at the 2025 UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show held at Munich's Allianz Arena, marking their first major appearance since their hiatus and featuring new lead vocalist Emily Armstrong. Their setlist combined iconic hits such as "In the End" and "Numb" with new material from their comeback album From Zero, including "The Emptiness Machine" and "Heavy Is The Crown," as well as a soccer-inspired remix of "Numb" that incorporated stadium sounds. The performance was part of the band's triumphant return, with their album From Zero topping global charts and becoming the biggest rock record of 2024, supported by over two billion streams that year. The show was well received by the thousands in attendance and millions watching worldwide, though some commentators criticized UEFA's decision to hold a pregame concert. Linkin Park’s performance successfully united football and music fans, setting an electrifying tone ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the final. The band continues to tour on their From Zero World Tour, building on their renewed global prominence.
