Linkin Park is set to treat fans to something unique before their highly anticipated concert in Mexico City. The band has announced they will be giving away free tamales to concertgoers as part of their promotional activities, coinciding with the traditional celebration of Día de la Candelaria.
The giveaway will occur on January 31, 2025, just hours before Linkin Park takes the stage at the Estadio GNP Seguros, with the concert scheduled to kick off at 9 PM. Early arrivals will be rewarded with delicious snacks starting at 11 AM at three locations around the city.
Fans can expect to find tamales at Reforma 222, Plaza Río de Janeiro, and outside Metro Chabacano, where various flavors, including rajas, mole, and sweet tamales, will be available for free. The initiative not only aims to engage with fans but also to embrace the cultural significance of the day.
Linkin Park's guitarist and co-founder Mike Shinoda, who remains integral to the band's identity, is excited to connect with their Mexican audience following the passing of original lead singer Chester Bennington in 2017. The band faced challenges during their hiatus, but the introduction of new vocalist Emily Armstrong received positive feedback, allowing them to keep their music alive.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early, not just for the tamales, but to catch the opening act. AFI, renowned for their dynamic performances, will set the stage for Linkin Park, creating anticipation for their set list. Concertgoers can expect to hear familiar hits like "Somewhere I Belong," "Crawling," and "Numb" as the band returns to the spotlight.
The concert is part of Linkin Park's comeback tour, and with promotions like the tamale giveaway and the Ticketmaster 2x1 offer, the excitement is palpable. It's not just about the music; it's about the experience, the memories created, and the bond between the band and their fans.
Whether you are trying to secure your tamales or tickets, the energy surrounding this concert is undeniable. With the legacy of Chester Bennington still present, Linkin Park is determined to honor it through their performances and interactions with fans. For those planning to join, make sure to arrive armed with the essentials: your appetite and energy, as you enjoy the vibrant atmosphere at Estadio GNP Seguros.
Don't miss out on this unique opportunity—head down early, grab your tamales, and prepare for what promises to be a night filled with nostalgia, great music, and collective celebration among fans of all ages.
