Linkin Park Drop Cryptic Rumors On Social Media

There has been speculation about a potential comeback from the legendary band Linkin Park regarding the anthem for the annual League of Legends (LoL) World Championship and for Worlds 2024.

Linkin Park dropping new single?

Adding to the rumors, Linkin Park’s latest album features a track titled “Heavy is the Crown,” a title that resonates with the theme Riot Games revealed for the Worlds 2024 anthem on September 9. This has led fans to linking between the song and the upcoming League of Legends World Championship.

The @lolesports Twitter account further fueled speculation when it responded to a video of Linkin Park performing their new single “The Emptiness Machine” with a crown emoji. Fans were quick to notice the symbolism and have been piecing together the clues ever since.

One of the strongest indications of Linkin Park’s involvement is their upcoming tour schedule. The band is set to perform at the O2 Arena in London on 24 September — the same day Riot Games is expected to release the Worlds 2024 anthem.

Additionally, the Worlds 2024 Grand Final will take place at the same venue on November 2. This led to the fans to speculate about a potential live performance during the tournament’s opening ceremony.

This isn’t the first time Riot Games has worked with Linkin Park. Back in 2021, Mike Shinoda, one of the band’s founding members, appeared at the Arcane Global Premiere.

As a known fan of some of Riot’s titles, Shinoda’s involvement in both VALORANT and League of Legends has further stoked excitement about a potential collaboration for Worlds 2024.

The Worlds anthem has become a cornerstone of the tournament’s opening ceremony, which adds a layer of excitement to the event’s climactic moments.

While Riot Games has yet to officially announce Linkin Park as the artists behind the Worlds 2024 anthem, the band’s tour dates, new album symbolism, and cryptic social media interactions have left fans buzzing with speculation.

League of Legends fans will have to wait until 24 September to find out whether Linkin Park will take the stage as the artists behind this year’s anthem.

Linkin Park recently reunited after the tragic passing of Chester Bennington, in 2017. They recently released a new single titled “The Emptiness Machine” from their upcoming album From Zero which marks the band’s first release of new music in several years.

The addition of Emily Armstrong to the band garnered mixed reactions from the fans and Mike Shinoda has also addressed the same. Meanwhile, she has received support from Chester’s widow, Talinda Bennington. She seemingly approved of the band’s choice to replace Chester. But, Chester’s son, Jamie Bennington expressed his distaste.
