Watch Linkin Park perform at last night’s Champions League final

Linkin Park made a massive appearance at last night’s Champions League final (May 31) in Germany.

The band treated Paris Saint-German and FC Internazionale Milano supporters at the Munich Football Arena to a four-song medley in order to get the whole event going, for the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi.

They opened with their already-classic comeback single The Emptiness Machine, before going into In The End and Numb, and closing with Heavy Is the Crown (and a snippet of Up From The Bottom).

Back in April, the band said of their excitement about this performance: “With our new album and ongoing tour, we’ve been overwhelmed by the fans’ energy and excitement. We can’t wait to share that same energy and excitement at the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi.

“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.”
