LoL Worlds 2024 song – Who is singing?
The LoL World Championship Anthem has always been one of the most anticipated moments for fans all around the world. Not only does it create hype ahead of the tournament but it’s also a celebratory moment for both players and the entire LoL community. Throughout the years, Riot Games has tackled different genres and collaborated with various artists, including popular singers like G-IDLE for K/DA and Lil Nas X, with many of them becoming legendary anthems that people listen to non-stop.
This year, Worlds will be heading back to Europe for the first time since 2019, when Riot Games brought out their own Phoenix (ft. Cailin Russo e Chrissy Costanza), which has gained over 150 million views on YouTube. If you need to refresh your memory, check out all previous Worlds songs.
But who will take the lead in singing the World 2024 anthem? This is what we know.
The rumored group for Worlds Song?
There have been increasing rumors about Linkin Park being behind the Worlds 2024 Anthem. Earlier last week, the group made a comeback with new singer Emily Armstrong. After being inactive for nearly seven years, the group is back with a new album and even announced a world tour.
But what caught fans’ attention was the official lolesports Twitter/X account replying to the band’s live debut of the new single, “The Emptiness Machine”. In the tweet, Riot Games’ account replied with a crown emoji. Esports interviewer Ashley Kang noticed there’s a song from the upcoming Album titled “Heavy is the Crown”, which matches Riot Games’ emoji in the post.
The coincidences do not end there. The Worlds 2024 anthem has been confirmed to debut on September 24, the day before the start of Worlds 2024. On that same day, Linkin Park will be playing its fourth show at the O2 Arena, which is also the venue for the Grand Final later in November.
In previous years, Riot Games has also worked with Mike Shinoda, one of the founding members of Linkin Park. Shinoda was present at the Global Premiere of Arcane back in 2021. With Worlds and Arcane Season 2 making a return this year, several factors seem to be pointing at a collaboration between Riot and Linkin Park. Is this all a fluke or are fans witnessing yet another incredible collaboration? We’ll have to wait until September 24 to find out.
