Linkin Park to present the League of Legends Worlds 2024 anthem "Heavy Is The Crown"

A little over a decade has passed since Riot Games introduced the inaugural anthem for the LoL Worlds, which was "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons. This track from the emerging band initiated a 10-year journey of remarkable music partnerships, celebrating the most significant competitive highlights of LoL.

Now, a new legendary group is receiving this honor, as Linkin Park’s latest song, "Heavy Is the Crown," takes its place as the soundtrack for one of the largest global esports events. The co-founder of the band and co-lead vocalist, Mike Shinoda, said:

"It’s been an amazing experience partnering with Riot to bring this anthem to the global League of Legends community. The song is a real highlight of this new era for us, harnessing our signature sound and infusing it with fresh energy. We’re so excited for players and fans to experience this!"
