The UEFA Champions League Final, featuring Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan, is scheduled for May 31st at Allianz Arena in Munich. Beyond the highly anticipated match where PSG hopes to clinch its first Champions League title and Inter seeks its fourth (and first since 2010), the event will also include significant pre-match entertainment.
Headlining the 2025 UEFA Champions League Kick Off Show will be the acclaimed band Linkin Park. This performance follows their recent return to music with the release of `From Zero`, their first new album in seven years. They are set to debut a new remix specifically created for the final`s kick-off performance.
Linkin Park expressed their excitement for the upcoming show, highlighting the energy from their fans following the new album and tour. They described the Champions League Final performance as a fresh experience for the band and stated their eagerness to perform a mix of their beloved past hits and new material for the massive global audience.
Known for being the only rock band to surpass two billion yearly streams, Linkin Park`s setlist for the event is expected to celebrate both their extensive history and their current musical direction. The performance will be available to watch on Paramount+ as part of the build-up to the final match.
Addressing the question of the current lineup, the lead singer for Linkin Park is now Emily Armstrong, a 39-year-old artist from Los Angeles. Many fans remember the band`s powerful and iconic former frontman, Chester Bennington, who tragically passed away in 2017 at the age of 41. Bennington, who joined in 1999, was instrumental in the band`s global success with hits like `In the End` and `Crawling`.
Emily Armstrong officially joined Linkin Park as their lead singer on September 5, 2024, bringing her own experience, including collaborations with artists such as The Offspring and Beck, to the band`s new era.
