LINKIN PARK TO BRING DOWN THE HOUSE AT BLIZZCON® 2015
SYDNEY, Australia – October 21, 2015 – Whether you’re geeking out on the show floor at BlizzCon® or tuning in from home, this is a performance you won’t want to miss. Blizzard Entertainment today announced that Linkin Park will be taking the stage on Saturday, November 7 (Sunday, November 8 AEDT), to provide an epic send-off for everyone attending this year’s BlizzCon or watching from home. While tickets to Blizzard’s two-day gaming convention are sold out, players and Linkin Park fans around the world can still watch the show live with the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket.
Over the course of Linkin Park’s genre-defying career, the Grammy Award–winning band has sold over 50 million albums worldwide and is the biggest band on Facebook with over 63 million fans and counting. They also made Internet history by becoming the first rock band to hit 1 billion views on YouTube. This week, Linkin Park is celebrating the 15th anniversary of their smash debut album, Hybrid Theory. They’re currently in the studio working on their seventh studio album.
“We’re beyond excited to welcome SoCal natives Linkin Park to close out BlizzCon with a bang,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We can’t think of a better way to bring two full days of gaming and action-packed eSports matches to an epic conclusion than with a band that’ll carry the weekend’s electricity through to the very end.”
“Playing BlizzCon will be one hell of a first for us,” said Chester Bennington, lead vocalist of Linkin Park. “We’re looking forward to giving all the gamers out there a killer rock show.”
BlizzCon is a celebration of the global player communities that bring Blizzard’s games to life. Taking over the Anaheim Convention Centre November 6 and 7 (November 7 and 8 AEDT), this year’s show is brimming with discussion panels of all sorts, eSports tournaments, contests, hands-on play time with the latest Blizzard Entertainment games, and much more.
Though tickets to the convention sold out rapidly, viewers at home can still join the excitement by ordering the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket ($54.95 AUD), which offers comprehensive live online coverage of both days of the event—including the community contests hosted by Wil Wheaton and Linkin Park’s performance.
As the countdown to BlizzCon continues, further details about the show will be announced at www.blizzcon.com.
