Over the weekend – and before they played in Paris with Sleep Token – Linkin Park made a truly explosive appearance at The O2 in London for the 2024 League Of Legends World Championships.
Having only recently played the venue on their From Zero comeback run in September, the band helped kick off the opening ceremony at the North Greenwich mega-venue on November 2 with their very own Championship Anthem, Heavy Is The Crown.
Previously, Mike Shinoda said partnering with Riot and was League Of Legends “an amazing experience”, and called Heavy Is The Crown “a real highlight of this new era for us, harnessing our signature sound and infusing it with fresh energy. We’re so excited for players and fans to experience this!”
