Are Linkin Park Reuniting?

The 2017 death of Chester Bennington essentially marked the end of Linkin Park. Recently, however, there have been rumors suggesting the band might be making a comeback.

On August 24, the band launched a 100-hour countdown, though its purpose was unclear. On August 28, when the countdown ended, it reset and began counting up from 0 instead. Shortly after, the band posted on social media, “It’s only a matter of time…”

Today, August 29, Linkin Park shared a cropped image of an “LP” logo and wrote, “Be part of something. September 5th. LinkinPark.com.” Currently, their website does not offer any additional information.

While these events unfolded, it was rumored that Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley might be joining Linkin Park, as he had his own announcement scheduled for the same day as the end of Linkin Park’s countdown.

However, Whibley clarified the situation, stating, “I feel the need to dispel some current rumors. It’s been brought to my attention that many people think I could be joining a reuniting band. But I just want to say, despite popular belief, I am not joining Oasis… or Linkin Park. Or any other band for that matter. I have my own ‘tour and book’ announcement that I will now move to the end of the week, ahead of our US tour. I do look forward to seeing whatever both these amazing bands do in the future.”

As it stands, the future of Linkin Park remains uncertain, but more information is expected to be revealed on September 5.
