Legendary rock band Linkin Park will take to the stage ahead of the 2025 UEFA Champions League final in Munich on May 31.
Linkin Park recently made a triumphant return to the spotlight with the release of From Zero, their first new music in seven years, and will delight fans across the globe in the build up to kick-off with a set list combining a tribute to their past as well as showcasing their new musical direction.
To mark the occasion, the group has composed and recorded a new remix – blending their iconic riffs with the sights and sounds of the UEFA Champions League – that they will debut live to millions of fans ahead of the world's most-watched annual footballing event.
"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," said Linkin Park.
Guy-Laurent Epstein, Co-Managing Director of UC3, added: "This year's UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi promises to be a spectacular moment, with one of the world's most iconic rock bands performing live just minutes before the biggest match in European club football."
