Linkin Park are heading to primetime television, with the band locked in for a special performance during the season finale of America’s Got Talent.
The band will appear on the second night of the Season 21 finale on Wednesday, September 23rd in the US (tomorrow AU), joining a guest lineup that also includes KSI, Josh Groban, Steve Aoki, Jessica Sanchez and Mat Franco.
The performance comes during another significant week for Linkin Park, with ‘Bleed It Out’ becoming the ninth song in their catalogue to cross one billion Spotify streams (per The PRP).
Linkin Park Add Another Billion-Stream Song
Originally released as the second single from 2007’s Minutes To Midnight, ‘Bleed It Out’ now joins ‘What I’ve Done’ as the second song from that album to reach the Spotify milestone.
It also pushes Linkin Park’s billion-stream tally to nine songs, spanning material from across the band’s catalogue.
- In The End
- Numb
- Numb / Encore (feat. Jay-Z)
- What I’ve Done
- Faint
- One Step Closer
- Somewhere I Belong
- Crawling
- Bleed It Out
The timing of the milestone is particularly fitting, with ‘Bleed It Out’ also appearing on Linkin Park’s forthcoming UNSHATTER Film Soundtrack (Live in São Paulo).
That live album arrives this Friday, September 25th, ahead of the accompanying LINKIN PARK: UNSHATTER documentary beginning its worldwide cinema run on September 30th.
Directed by Linkin Park’s Joe Hahn, UNSHATTER follows the band from intimate studio sessions in 2022 through their return with Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain, the release of From Zero and their November 2024 performance in São Paulo, Brazil.

The accompanying soundtrack draws from that São Paulo show and runs across Linkin Park’s career, including ‘Somewhere I Belong’, ‘Numb’, ‘In The End’, ‘Faint’, ‘Papercut’, ‘The Emptiness Machine’ and ‘Heavy Is The Crown’.
Before that lands, though, Linkin Park have an America’s Got Talent stage waiting for them.
