Linkin Park’s Special Event Requires Fans to Sign a Waiver

Linkin Park is gearing up for a significant announcement this Thursday (Sept. 5), and those who will be attending the event in person were required to sign a waiver beforehand. This waiver has been shared on Reddit, allowing fans to glean hints about what to expect.

Initially, fans were left puzzled when a countdown on the band’s website turned into a “count up” due to a glitch. This glitch happened at 00:09:05 and served as a clue for the upcoming event. The following day, a social media post unveiled that an event was in the works, urging fans to “be part of something special.” This tease coincided with the malfunctioning timer’s clue.

As the “count up” timer reached 100 hours, additional hints surfaced. A brief one-second multi-shaded purple visual appeared at the 99-minute mark, followed by a 20-second crescendo of a white noise-like sound when the countdown hit the 100-hour mark. These clues have led many to speculate that a new song might be on the horizon.

The mystery around who will join Mike Shinoda as Linkin Park’s new vocalist has also fueled fan discussions online, though no official confirmation has been made.

The waiver for attending the September 5 event is mostly the typical legal jargon meant to protect the band from potential legal actions. However, it does contain some intriguing details about what attendees might experience.

Notably, attendees are to be transported to and from the event venue. This suggests that the band is keen on keeping the location a secret, perhaps to prevent any leaks or early discernments based on the venue itself.

The second part of the acknowledgment grants the rights to include attendees in any footage filmed or recorded. This supports fan speculations that the event might be filmed, especially with a YouTube video set to premiere at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET on Thursday.

Additionally, the document includes legal language that restricts attendees or related entities from taking any action that would “interfere, hinder, stop or impede the production, distribution, or any other exploitation of the event.” In simpler terms, it’s a plea to not spoil the event for others, encouraging attendees to enjoy the experience and be part of this historic moment.

The complete waiver can be found on Reddit for those interested in taking a closer look at the specifics.
