Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan are scheduled to compete in the UEFA Champions League Final on May 31st. The match will be broadcast on CBS and available for streaming on Paramount+. PSG is vying for their historic first Champions League title, while Inter aims to win their fourth overall and first since 2010. The final, held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, will also feature pre-match entertainment to build excitement.
Returning to the music scene after a seven-year hiatus with their new album `From Zero`, Linkin Park is set to headline the 2025 UEFA Champions League Kick Off Show. The band has also recorded a new remix that will debut before the final. This performance continues the trend of major pre-match shows, following Lenny Kravitz who headlined the 2024 event.
Linkin Park shared their enthusiasm, stating, “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 favorite songs from the past and present, with the thousands in the crowd and millions watching around the world.”
As the only rock band to exceed two billion yearly streams, Linkin Park plans to celebrate this achievement with a performance blending past hits and new material. The Kick Off Show will be available on Paramount+ as part of the pre-game coverage leading up to the Champions League final.

Meet the Lead Singer
Many fans might associate Linkin Park with their former lead singer, Chester Bennington, who tragically passed away in 2017 at age 41. Bennington, a native of Phoenix, joined the band in 1999 and was central to their rise to fame with iconic songs like `In the End` and `Crawling`.
The current lead vocalist for Linkin Park is 39-year-old Emily Armstrong from Los Angeles. Armstrong, who has previously recorded and performed with artists such as The Offspring and Beck, officially became Linkin Park`s lead singer on September 5, 2024.
