Overview

• Linkin Park opened the pre-game ceremony at Munich’s Allianz Arena with a four-song set featuring The Emptiness Machine, In the End, a football-inspired Numb remix and Heavy Is The Crown.
• The custom Numb remix incorporated sounds of ball strikes, net hits and fan stomps to bridge the band’s rock roots with the football atmosphere.
• The performance marked a key milestone in the band’s comeback behind their new album From Zero and ongoing world tour.
• This collaboration follows Linkin Park’s League of Legends World Championship anthem and reflects a broader trend of major music acts headlining sports events.
• FIFA President Gianni Infantino has announced that the next Men’s World Cup final will feature a Super Bowl–style halftime show.
