Linkin Park will headline this year's UEFA Champion's League Final

Linkin Park in 2024.

Linkin Park have announced they will perform at the 2025 UEFA Champion's League Final. The rebooted nu metal stars will perform in Munich on May 31 as part of the Pepsi Kick Off Show ahead of the football tournament final, as announced by the band on X (formerly Twitter) with a promo video that sees them remix classic hit Numb.

The band's appearance follows last year's headliner Lenny Kravitz, who performed the hits Fly Away, Human and Are You Gonna Go My Way at London's Wembley Stadium.

Fans can watch Linkin Park's performance live on TV via local broadcasters, but the set will also be available to watch via the official UEFA YouTube channel.

Speaking about the upcoming show, the band commented: "With our new album and ongoing tour, we've been overwhelmed by the fans' energy and excitement."

"We can't wait to share that same energy and excitement at the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi. This marks a totally new experience for us as a band, and we're excited to share some of our favourite songs from the past and present, with the thousands in the crowd and millions watching around the world."


Linkin Park announced their surprise comeback in 2024 via a special livestream event in September 2024, where the band also announced the recruitment of new vocalist Emily Armstrong and the impending release of new album From Zero.

The band embarked on a subsequent world tour that saw them play everywhere from the UK and Germany to South Korea and Saudi Arabia. The tour is set to resume later this month in the US, starting in Austin on April 26 before wrapping up at Daytona Beach on 17.

Linkin Park are set to return to the UK on June 28 to play Wembley Stadium with support from rising metalcore stars Spiritbox and rapper JPEGMAFIA. In March, the band also released new single Up From The Bottom, a song first teased in a YouTube documentary about the tour.
