Linkin Park has ignited speculation among fans with a cryptic 100-hour countdown timer, shared on their social media accounts on Saturday, August 24th. The timer, which is also live on the band’s official website, has sparked a frenzy of guesses about what the band might be planning.
As the countdown ticks down to its conclusion on Wednesday, August 28th, fans have flooded the live chat on the website’s YouTube livestream, speculating on everything from new music to a major announcement. The most prominent theory is that Linkin Park might be revealing a new lead vocalist to step in for the late Chester Bennington, who tragically passed away in 2017.
“I hope they announce the new singer, LP deserves to continue [with] their legacy,” one fan wrote, while another pondered, “If LP has a new singer and it’s female, who do you want it to be?”
Earlier this year, rumors circulated about a possible 2025 reunion tour, with reports suggesting that the band was considering a female vocalist to take over Bennington’s role. These rumors gained traction after Orgy’s Jay Gordon mentioned hearing about a potential female lead for Linkin Park during a radio interview, though he later clarified that his comments had been taken out of context.
While no official details have been confirmed, fans are eagerly awaiting the end of the countdown to see what Linkin Park has in store. The band, known for their massive success in the 2000s, remains a significant force in rock music, with millions of albums sold and numerous hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
