Linkin Park and David Garrett heat in Munich before the final!

Allianz Arena, 80339 München, Deutschland - On May 31, 2025, the highly expected Champions League final took place in the Allianz Arena in Munich. The duel between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan was accompanied by an exciting opening ceremony, which offered musical highlights with Linkin Park and the star violist David Garrett.

Linkin Park, who are on a comeback tour after a long break, played a short medley from their hits and new songs before the kick-off. Among the titles played were iconic classics such as "One Step Closer" and "PaperCut", and a remix of the success piece "Numb" was also presented. Despite the high expectations, the reaction of the audience remained motionless during the appearance, but this was ultimately rewarded with applause. Linkin Park returned to Emily Armstrong as the new front woman in autumn 2024 and is planning five stadium concerts in Germany for the summer of 2024. Mike Shinoda, one of the founding members, expressed his anticipation for the appearance in Munich, which is part of the "From Zero" world tour.

appearance by David Garrett

After Linkin Park, David Garrett entered the stage and impressed the audience with his violin version of the White-Stripes hit "Seven Nation Army". The fans sang with this appearance and gave the mood additional energy. Garrett, who is a big football fan himself, was honored to be able to play at the Champions League final.

The combination of music and sport is often controversial in Germany. Mixed reactions can cause big appearances without a direct connection to the sporting events. A concise example is Helene Fischer's appearance, which was considered by the fans of both clubs with whistles during the half-time of the 2017 DFB Cup final. As a result, the German Football Association did not use similar music performances at the cup final.

The anticipation for the Champions League final was not only shaped by the sporting encounters, but also by the cultural supporting program, which significantly enriched the atmosphere in the stadium. The band Linkin Park and David Garrett ensured an unforgettable experience for the numerous fans, even if the connection to the teams did not always go smoothly.

The game between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan started at 9:00 p.m. and was broadcast on Joyn in the live stream, which the fans struck all the more to enjoy the event to the fullest.
