LoL Worlds 2024 anthem revealed as next Linkin Park single

As a gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the announcement of Linkin Park as the band for this year’s League of Legends World Championship (LoL) anthem has sent me into a state of pure nostalgia. The anticipation and excitement have been building up like a coiled spring, ever since the whispers began about their new singer, Emily Armstrong.


This year, it’s official that Linkin Park will be the band to create the new League of Legends anthem titled ‘Heavy Is The Crown.’ Notably, this track marks their second single since they reformed and also functions as the theme for Worlds 2024.

2024 is just around the corner, and that implies fans are once more anticipating a new anthem to accompany the annual year-end tournament. Usually performed by renowned artists, excitement has steadily increased over the past few weeks as spectators debated who would be creating this year’s song.

For several years now, artists such as Zedd, NewJeans, and Imagine Dragons have taken center stage with their hits. This year’s upcoming single will feature a performance by Linkin Park.

Make them believe. #Worlds2024 👑 @leagueoflegends @lolesports @riotgames

At first, there were excited whispers when Linkin Park announced Emily Armstrong as their new vocalist following the passing of Chester Bennington. Even the LoL Esports X account showed enthusiasm for their comeback by responding with a crown symbol.

Enthusiasts quickly discovered that the title of their forthcoming album includes a track called “Heavy is the Crown,” an appropriate choice given Worlds 2024’s theme.

Instead of gradually revealing hints about the song, Linkin Park opted to introduce it for the first time during a live show in Hamburg on September 22, allowing League of Legends fans to catch a glimpse of the anticipated Worlds 2024 theme song’s style.

The confirmation has come that their upcoming single will undeniably serve as the theme song for Worlds 2024. The complete music video is set to debut on September 24 at 8AM Pacific Time.

It’s anticipated that “Heavy Is The Crown” will serve as the anthem for Worlds 2024, and there are rumors suggesting it might be included in Arcane Season 2’s soundtrack, as reported by League of Leaks.

It’s not unexpected that “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen could possibly be part of the Arcane soundtrack, given that Imagine Dragons were included in the first season. However, we’ll have to wait for the new season to find out if this song will actually be featured.

Currently, the complete recording of the song is available solely through fans’ videos captured during the live performances. However, the official version along with its audio track will be officially released on September 24th.
