Linkin Park, Ashnikko, and more to headline LoL Worlds 2024 opening ceremony

Riot Games has announced that Linkin Park, Ashnikko, Mars Atlas of Forts, and Tiffany Aris will be the performing artists for the League of Legends Worlds 2024 (LoL Worlds 2024) opening ceremony.

The LoL Worlds 2024 opening ceremony will kick off on Nov. 2 at the O2 Arena in London, U.K. This event will not only have Linkin Park taking the stage, but also Ashnikko, Mars Atlas of Forts, and Tiffany Aris.

While Linkin Park will perform Worlds 2024 anthem Heavy Is The Crown, Ashnikko will perform Paint The Town Blue from the Arcane Season 2 soundtrack. Meanwhile, Mars Atlas of Forts and Tiffany Aris will get the spotlight with the Still Here single.

"It's been an amazing experience partnering with Riot to bring this anthem to the global League of Legends community," Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park said about the 2024 Worlds Anthem reveal. "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!"

Meanwhile, Miria Egan, Riot Games' global head of music, noted that it's an honor to partner with the band. The Heavy Is The Crown music video features T1's victory from last year, London's history of kingdoms and empires, and more.

"Its story follows a newly crowned king and the horde of would-be rulers who arrive on his doorstep," according to Riot Games. The company then added that the Worlds 2024 performance will kick off the second leg of the Linkin Park's From Zero World Tour dates.

The opening ceremony will be streamed live on Riot Games' official website. The performances will also happen before the highly-anticipated BLG versus T1 match for the 2024 trophy.
