LINKIN PARK—featuring Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Joe Hahn, along with Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain—continues their triumphant momentum with a powerful new single, “Heavy Is The Crown,” now available. Check out the music video below.
The song serves as the 2024 League Of Legends World Championship anthem, marking the band’s first collaboration with Riot Games. The track kicks into high gear as an anthem equally appropriate for the high-octane multi-dimensional competition of League Of Legends and music festival grounds worldwide. Of course, “Heavy Is The Crown” also paves the way for LINKIN PARK‘s first album since 2017, From Zero, due on November 15.
LINKIN PARK is currently in the middle of their six-date arena run for the “From Zero” world tour, which sold out within minutes. Due to overwhelming demand, the band has just announced three additional stadium shows for 2024 in Paris, Dallas, and São Paulo. Exclusive presales for LP Underground fan club members begin on September 25, with general tickets available starting September 27.
“Heavy Is The Crown” lands in the wake of the band’s first new music in seven years “The Emptiness Machine”. Right out of the gate, “The Emptiness Machine” surged as a global smash with a seismic impact. It vaulted into the Top 5 of the Spotify Global chart, clinched No. 1 at both Alternative and Rock Radio, catapulted to No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative and Rock Airplay chart, and infiltrated the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 21. The single has tallied unprecedented numbers for a modern rock song at DSPs, generating north of 95 million Spotify streams and 28 million YouTube views on the music video. Not to mention, LINKIN PARK just reached another benchmark, exceeding over 54 million monthly listeners on Spotify and becoming “the top-streamed rock band on the platform” and one of the “40 top-streamed artists globally on the platform.”
