Linkin Park will make a big announcement in front of a live audience on Thursday (September 5), but before that, those in attendance had to sign a waiver. That waiver has now been shared on Reddit, where fans can read it to get a better idea of ​​what to expect.

What we already knew

While many Linkin Park fans were frustrated when their countdown ended with a “Count Up,” a glitch in the timer occurred at 00:09:05, which was a clue to what would happen next. A day later, a social media post revealed that the band was planning an event. “Be part of something special. September 5th,” the teaser read, making up for the “Count Up” clock glitch.

As the countdown timer reached 100 hours, there were a few more clues. At minute 99, a one-second, multi-colored purple image appeared, and at 100 hours, a 20-second crescendo reminiscent of white noise sounded. Most speculated that it was part of a new song.

There is also a lot of speculation on social media about who the new singer of Linkin Park could be alongside Mike Shinoda. However, there is no confirmation yet.

What to learn from the Linkin Park event waiver

The waiver to attend Linkin Park’s event on Thursday (September 5) is mostly standard legal language protecting the group from legal action, but there is a little information about what to expect from Thursday’s event.

The fact that Linkin Park were able to build a mystery around the announcement and that there were no leaks is one of the most remarkable things about this campaign.

In the waiver itself, it seems like the band is still maintaining some of the mystery, as the third confirmation states that there is an agreement for transportation to and from the venue. This would suggest that the band doesn’t necessarily want to reveal the venue, even to those in attendance. Therefore, it would be harder for people to figure out the exact venue and perhaps deduce something from the location in advance.

It should also be noted that the second confirmation grants the right to include attendees in footage that was either filmed or otherwise recorded. That would indicate a filmed event, something many fans were already speculating about when the embargo on the YouTube video was lifted at 3 p.m. PT (6 p.m. ET) on Thursday.

Elsewhere, the document contains legal language that prevents attendees or affiliates from seeking “any injunction or equitable relief that would interfere with, hinder, stop or prevent the production, distribution or other use of the event.” In other words, don’t spoil it for others. Go, have fun and be part of this historic moment.

The full disclaimer for the event can currently be viewed as part of a Reddit thread.
