Unbeknownst to the public, in 2023, the band approached Armstrong and Brittain to reform as Linkin Park to record and release new music and perform the band’s back catalogue. A previously unreleased song from the One More Light sessions, ” Friendly Fire “, was released on February 23, 2024. This was followed up by the band’s first greatest hits album , Papercuts , which was released on April 12. The collection also includes “Friendly Fire”, as well as the first official release of the song ” Qwerty “, which first appeared on LP Underground 6.0 in 2006. On April 30, 2024, Billboard reported that Linkin Park’s booking agency WME had taken offers for both a potential reunion tour and headlining festival dates to take place in 2025, with the lineup featuring Shinoda, Delson, Farrell, and a female vocalist in place of Bennington.
