Because the 2025 Stanley Cup Final kicks off with Wednesday night time’s (June 4) Sport 1 showdown between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers, gamers and followers alike don’t have any selection however to rock out to the NHL‘s brand-new promo starring and soundtracked by Linkin Park.
The promo — which opened the TNT broadcast of Sport 1 — exhibits the Stanley Cup trophy sinking underwater, surrounded by a college of fish, as Linkin Park’s chart-topping single “Heavy Is the Crown” begins. Simply above the water, a heated hockey sport is raging on — as is a non-public Linkin Park live performance, with newly minted frontwoman Emily Armstrong scream-singing, “That is what you requested for!” because the ice shatters beneath her and her bandmates’ ft.
“Heavy Is the Crown” — off the band’s eighth studio album From Zero and in addition the anthem for Riot Video games’ 2024 League of Legends World Championship — was an eight-week No. 1 hit on Billboard‘s Rock & Alternative Airplay chart and in addition topped the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in February, marking LP’s 12th leader on the checklist.
The NHL promo continues a sports-centric week for the band, which carried out a four-song set forward of the UEFA Champions League final in Munich on Saturday night time. Taking the stage at Munich Soccer Area simply earlier than kick-off between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan, the band’s look served as a high-profile preview of their upcoming world tour, which begins June 12 at Austria’s Novarock Competition.
Following Sport 1 in Edmonton, the subsequent Stanley Cup Closing match is ready for Friday at 8 p.m. ET earlier than the sequence strikes to Florida for Sport 3 on Monday. Along with TNT, the sequence is airing throughout SN, CBC, TVAS, truTV and Max.
