The band posted a countdown and a mysterious announcement
THE Linkin Park is about to make an important announcement today, September 5th, during an event attended by a group of fans. The participants, however, had to sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure that no information is revealed before the official moment. The band, which has Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson and Rob Bourdonhas been fueling speculation since the end of August, when it started a countdown on its social media and official website.
It all started on August 24, when Linkin Park released a watch with a 100-hour timer. During this period, fans’ anticipation only grew, and many thought the band would release new material or make an announcement about a tour. However, on August 28, instead of presenting anything concrete when the timer reached zero, the watch started a new countdown. The band shared the timer again, along with the message “It’s only a matter of time…”
This new count had a glitch nine hours and five minutes after it began, which led to several speculations on social media. Many believe that the glitch was intentional and points to the announcement today, September 5th (month nine).

Today’s event, which will be attended by a few fans, has already generated a lot of speculation on the internet. A confidentiality document shared on internet forums such as Reddit, which brought more information.
The document says that fans present must maintain absolute secrecy until the announcement is made publicly.
Linkin Park, since Bennington’s death, has remained on hiatus from releasing new full-length albums, but has not stopped being in the spotlight. Now, with all these mysteries and speculations, the expectation is that today’s announcement will finally reveal the band’s next steps, be it a new single, album, or a world tour.
