Linkin Park has initiated a 100-hour countdown on their website and social media, set to conclude on August 28, igniting speculation about a significant announcement, possibly regarding a reunion tour. The countdown coincided with indications that the band, now featuring surviving members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Dave Farrell, may be looking for a female vocalist to replace the late Chester Bennington, who died in 2017. Fans are buzzing with theories, especially after the countdown was shared by the Welcome to Rockville festival, hinting at a potential performance in 2025. Earlier reports have suggested that the band's booking agency, WME, is evaluating offers for tour dates and festival appearances. The use of the 'ø' symbol in the countdown link might reference the band’s original name, Xero, adding another layer of intrigue.
