Whether you're geeking out on the show floor at BlizzCon® or tuning in from home, this is a performance you won't want to miss. Blizzard Entertainment today announced that Linkin Park will be taking the stage on Saturday, November 7, to provide an epic send-off for everyone attending this year's BlizzCon or watching from home. While tickets to Blizzard's two-day gaming convention are sold out, players and Linkin Park fans around the world can still watch the show live with the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket.
"We're beyond excited to welcome SoCal natives Linkin Park to close out BlizzCon with a bang on Saturday night," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We can't think of a better way to bring two full days of gaming and action-packed eSports matches to an epic conclusion than with a band that'll carry the weekend's electricity through to the very end."
"Playing BlizzCon will be one hell of a first for us," said Chester Bennington, lead vocalist of Linkin Park. "We're looking forward to giving all the gamers out there a killer rock show."

This year there’ll be a whole new way to bring a piece of the BlizzCon experience home: For the first time, Virtual Ticket buyers will have the option to purchase a BlizzCon Goody Bag of their own. Previously available only to those attending BlizzCon in person, the Goody Bag contains a cache of cool loot to commemorate the occasion, and we’re excited to give even more members of the Blizzard community a chance to snag one. Supplies will be limited, and some regional restrictions will apply—we’ll share additional information closer to the Virtual Ticket’s launch.
