Linkin Park, Sparking Touring Soon and New Vocalist Speculation

Linkin Park has fans buzzing with anticipation after launching a cryptic 100-hour countdown on their social media platforms and official website. The countdown, which began on Saturday, August 24, has led to widespread speculation, with many fans eagerly awaiting the potential announcement of a new lead vocalist.

The band’s official website, LinkinPark.com, now features a live YouTube video of the countdown and a live chat filled with excited fans. Much of the discussion centers around the possibility of a new vocalist stepping in to fill the void left by Chester Bennington, who tragically passed away in July 2017. “I hope they announce the new singer; LP deserves to continue their legacy,” one fan commented, while another speculated, “If LP has a new singer and it’s female, who do you think it will be?”

This countdown is set to conclude on Wednesday, August 28, leaving fans eagerly watching and waiting for what the band has in store.

Earlier this year, sources revealed to Billboard that the band was considering a reunion tour in 2025 and was exploring the idea of bringing in a female vocalist. By late April, booking agency WME was reportedly fielding offers for a potential Linkin Park tour featuring band members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Dave Farrell. However, the identity of a new vocalist had yet to be confirmed, though some speculated a female singer might be in the running.

Adding to the rumors, Orgy’s Jay Gordon mentioned hearing whispers about a Linkin Park reunion during an interview on KCAL 96.7’s Wired in the Empire. “They’ve been around a long time, and they’re still going for it,” Gordon said, hinting at the possibility of a female singer. However, Gordon later clarified his remarks: “Regarding this Linkin Park singer thing. I know nothing about any of that.”

Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda addressed the reunion rumors in April, around the release of *Papercuts (Singles Collection: 2000-2023)*. Speaking with *Revolver* magazine, he remarked, “Rumors always go around. People always ask what’s next for the band, and the best answer I can give is when there’s something to tell you, we will tell you.” He emphasized that official announcements would come directly from the band’s website.

With over 29.4 million albums sold in the United States alone and three top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, Linkin Park remains one of the most successful rock bands of the 2000s. Fans are now eagerly counting down to what could be the next chapter in the band’s storied career.
