The announcement was that EC will take place between the 16th and the 20th of July, but there are some hints about Justin Timberlake on the walls, in the city of Cluj-Napoca. The font that was used is very similar to the fonts that Electric Castle usually use in their designs.
Sooo... Linkin Park's new singer is Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara. They just announced a new song and a tour for this year, so maybe they'll be indeed doing festivals next year.
Linkin Park were promoting the Bleed It Out song a lot in the past few weeks... honestly I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the countdown they'll post a video or something with the Mike Shinoda & Bonnie Fraser version of the track to announce Bonnie as the new vocalist + a tour.
Yes, Linkin Park are huge in the area. In the 2000s maybe them and Eminem were the most popular artists among the youngsters.
Edit: just saw an interview on /r/popunkers subreddit with Bonnie, she says that she won't be the new singer either. Interesting.
Deryck just announced on social media that he won't be joining Oasis and/or Linkin Park, so I guess we're going to get Linkin Park + a female vocalist. Let's see if we'll also get some tour dates tomorrow, I wonder if they'll be doing festivals next year.
Yeah, I know that one, it's from 4 years ago. More recent Sum41 videos don't look great. This one doesn't sound awesome either tbh.
This one with Bonnie Fraser, instead, sounds much more better:
New rumours say the new singer is actually Deryck from Sum41 but if that's true, I wouldn't be that excited about a Linkin Park reunion. I don't think that Deryck is capable to sing the high notes that well at his age during live gigs, so I would prefer a young female vocalist. Another reason for this is that people wouldn't compare Chester's voice with the one of the new singer.
