The nu-metal band have given their latest update when it comes to an announcement scheduled for this Thursday.

Linkin Park are primed to share a big announcement tonight.

The band - comprised of surviving members Rob Bourdon, Brad Delson, Mike Shinoda, Dave Farrell, Joe Hahn have been teasing something big for some weeks and now it looks set to be unveiled on a special livestream.

The nu-metal icons first caused speculation when they shared a video counting down from 100 hours and 59 minutes, but left fans confused after it reached zero and began counting up again.

Finally the In The End rockers have put their fans out of their misery, writing in their caption: "Be part of something. September 5th."

Now they have shared even more information, with a tweet sent last night, which read: "Don’t be late. Livestream tomorrow: 3pm PT".

The link takes you to the band's website, which has a livestream embedded, which is set to go live tonight (5th September) at 11pm UK time.

The band made sure to let fans know of the time by urging them to tune in again at 3pm PT (11pm BST).

Meanwhile, according to Kerrang, fans were also emailed about an event taking place in Los Angeles on the same day of their scheduled announcement.

It's not clear what the band are set to reveal, but it has been speculated that they could be on the cusp of announcing a new singer, after the death of their beloved frontman Chester Bennington in 2017.

Bennington tragically took his own life on what would have been his good friend Chris Cornell's 53rd Birthday, who also died by suicide just two months before.

Bennington sang at Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah at the Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman's funeral.

Earlier this year, it was reported that the Numb rockers were planning a 2025 tour with a female vocalist to succeed the late frontman, leaving Evanescance singer Amy Lee to deny she was joining the band.

Recently it was speculated that Sum 41's Deryck Whibley would be announced as the new frontman, but the Canadian rocker was forced to deny the rumours, telling his fans on Instagram he wouldn't be joining either Linkin Park, or Oasis, adding: "I do look forward to seeing whatever both these amazing bands do in the future.”
