Linkin Park has fans hyped up for what seems to be one of the biggest live events in the band's long-standing history. At the time of this article's publishing, the metal band is running a countdown on its website and will make a big announcement this Thursday, September 5, 2024, at 3 p.m. Pacific time.
Although most details about the event are still under wraps, the band's website has confirmed that the announcement will be made through a livestream. The band also posted a cropped picture of what seems to be their logo on Instagram on August 29, 2024.
Paired with the caption, 'Be part of something,' Linkin Park's post confirmed the announcement date of September 5th.
Linkin Park seems to be all set not to reveal anything about the event before time, and fans don't seem to mind the suspense either, as they excitingly commented:
"I’ll wait forever if I have to,"
Others seemed to have similar thoughts as they commented about how they couldn't wait for the big reveal:

"Omgg I can’t wait 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️," reacted one fan"
"omg! this is really happening! I can't wait! 🖤," commented another Instagram user
Other fans, however, couldn't help but guess what the big reveal could be as they added:
"I think it’s a new singer because it looks like the logo was “repaired” with a new piece. Remember when Chester passed and they removed a piece? 😔" reminsced one fan
"The twenty one pilots collaboration 🥺⁉️ " guessed another netizen
"Fantastic 4?" questioned one Instagram user
"If it's a merch drop, I'm done," reacted another netizen
Other users were either waiting excitingly for Linkin Park's reveal or expressing their frustration over the long wait while commenting:
Linkin Park had fans sign a waiver for a 'secret concert' at the head of the cryptic Instagram post
Linkin Park's big announcement seems to come at the head of a secret concert in Los Angeles, California. The concert details are yet to be revealed, but it seems limited to select individuals and fans.
The criteria for selecting the event attendees is unclear, but some selected users have shared a waiver on Reddit. They claim that the band made it compulsory for people to sign the waiver if they wanted to attend the California concert.
The waiver mentions that the concert will be held at an undisclosed venue in Los Angeles, California, on September 5, 2024. The agreement also informs signees that they will be transported to and from the venue for the concert.
The waiver hints that the attendees might be filmed during, before, or after the event and that the band or their affiliates may use the video later. There are no details about the type of the event or what fans can expect from the secret concert, but it seems to be connected with the much-awaited announcement.
Linkin Park followed similar event strategies in May 2008 for the rehearsal performance of We Made It, right before the Projekt Revolution Tour.
The crew blindfolded 14 fan club members at that time and transported them by bus from the Warner Bros. HQ to California's Third Encore Studios. The move was reportedly intended to keep the band's rehearsal venue a secret.
