Only 7 minutes, but still I'm happy that they have performed on one of the biggest sport events of the year.

Emptiness Machine to start with, ITE and Numb/Encore to remind why the World love LP and Heavy is the Crown which is the most fitting to the event.

Well done!

It was fun, fast and quick.

 

The commentors "hated" it. Not because of the band/act but because this really takes the football players out of focus right before a greatly important match.

I think that FIFA representatives, mainly their marketing department, have watched this event and will make the appropriate decision on who should create a song for the World Cup 2026 ;)

What a great performance! It was awesome to watch it. Great crossover between my two passions too. I prefer the old line-up of the band but I am really grateful that Linkin Park is back and we can experience moments like this. Such a show was out of a question just a year ago and here we are today!

why did they all look so dripped out. first time I've seen phoenix performing with sunglasses on. I love the shirt mike has on with the genius linkin park metal font logo.

This is nonsense. The players don't even watch it, they probably don't even hear anything. They've already finished their warm-up and are coming out onto the pitch when it's all over. The Polish commentator did a good job, he even briefly recounted the band's history after their performance. 

 

I watched the show for the first time before the UCL final, more interested in the artistic performance than the match itself (the line-up of the final influenced this - I was hoping for Barcelona and FC Bayern). 

 

I think it was fine, although I believe they could have done more. I was surprised by Heavy is the Crown - I thought it was reserved for League of Legends, but it fits perfectly with any game for the trophy, so let them use it.

it was a solid perfomance the audio was great.

 

not sure what's the deal w pepsi and uefa in bringing high profile artists to do whatever they can in a very rushed time slot.

 

the band did what they could, they were great some transitions were rough they and i dont understand why they playef the numb fifa remix after the actual song ended? kinda kills the flow.

 

uefa should improve the timeslot atleast 10 minutes would be better.

 

whoever did the choreography it looked very awkward, it was bad.

I initially thought that Emily's gloves had an LED function. :lol: 

 

Then I also didn't understand why the “dancers” didn't have any lighting effects or anything else. They were “invisible” to me. Very strange somehow.

Is there a studio version of the Numb/Champions League mashup ? 

 

It's the trailer for the show.

I don’t know if they lose focus, but I can assure you that the players hear the performance if they arrived on time. They’re lining up in the tunnel (which is underground in that stadium so they only see the stairs) at that time before entering the pitch.

 

Source: for the rehearsals, me and some colleagues were pretending to be players and referees, so the camera teams could rehearse

And i will add, we are talking elite level players. They wont lose the focus because Numb is playing. These people have been secluded in a hotel for 1-2 days before to start focusing on the game.

Oh ok thanks. It was so surreal to hear the most famous Italian football commentator Fabio Caressa introduce LP 😂😂😂

Makes sense. And the League of Legends teams didn’t complain either when they walked to their computers while Linkin Park was performing in the background.
