It looks like we’ll have to wait awhile more for a Linkin Park announcement.

On Saturday, the “Numb” rockers launched a countdown clock that began at 100 hours, offering no context as to what they were counting down to. However, when the clock finally hit zero on Wednesday shortly after 2:15 p.m. ET, the screen froze up before then starting to count up again.

If the clock is counting up to 100 hours again, it would hit that mark on Sunday at about 6:15 p.m. ET. 

Linkin Park has also reposted the clock now counting up on Instagram, adding in the caption, “It’s only a matter of time.”

As for what Linkin Park is counting down/up to, that’s unknown, but there have been rumors about a possible reunion tour following the 2017 death of frontman Chester Bennington. In April, Billboard reported that members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson and Dave “Phoenix” Farrell were considering getting back together for shows in 2025 alongside possibly a female vocalist in place of Bennington.

Fan speculation also ensnared Sum 41‘s Deryck Whibley, who teased that he was making an announcement on Wednesday around the same time the initial countdown was set to hit zero. He later clarified that his news was unrelated and that he was not joining Linkin Park.

The Big Reveal… Or Not?

The countdown ended Wednesday afternoon with a glitching screen before it began counting upwards again. Linkin Park posted the video to their social media with the caption, “It’s only a matter of time.”

This has left fans frustrated and confused, as it's unclear what the band is up to. Some believe that the countdown is now starting over, and that they will need to wait another 100 hours for a new announcement.

Others believe the band is simply trolling fans or that this is just a part of a bigger reveal, which has yet to be unveiled.

Deryck Whibley Clears the Air

As Linkin Park was ramping up to their countdown, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley also teased an announcement on Wednesday. This led fans to believe that Whibley might be joining Linkin Park, as he was a vocal fan of the band and was in the public eye with his own band. However, Whibley quickly dispelled those rumors.

“I feel the need to dispel some current rumours,” he wrote on social media. “It’s been brought to my attention that many people think I could be joining a reuniting band. But I just want to say, despite popular belief, I am not joining Oasis… or Linkin Park. Or any other band for that matter.

“I have my own ‘tour and book’ announcement that I will now move to the end of the week, ahead of our U.S. tour.

“I do look forward to seeing whatever both these amazing bands do in the future.”

Is There More To Come?

Linkin Park has yet to comment on the countdown clock's reset. However, the fact that the clock is counting upwards, and that the band is still teasing an announcement suggests that there is more to come. Fans are now left wondering what the band will do next. Will the countdown clock hit 100 hours again? Is there a hidden message in the clock's glitches? And when will the band finally reveal their big news?

Only time will tell, but Linkin Park fans should be prepared for whatever comes next.

What Could It Be? – A Look at Possible Scenarios

There are a few possibilities for what Linkin Park could be planning.

Reunion Tour with a New Vocalist

As previously mentioned, there have been rumors that the band is planning a reunion tour with a new vocalist in place of Chester Bennington. This would be a big move for the band, and it could potentially revive their career. However, there's no telling how fans might react to a new vocalist.

New Music

It’s also possible that Linkin Park is planning to release new music. The band has been relatively quiet since the release of their album “One More Light” in 2017. While that album had a more electronic-pop sound than their previous work, they could be back with something that harkens back to their nu metal roots, or it might be something entirely different.

Something Else

The countdown could be leading to something entirely unexpected. It could be a charity event, a new video game, or even a new clothing line. Whatever it is, fans will have to wait and see what Linkin Park has in store.

The Wait Continues

Linkin Park fans are left in a state of suspense as they wait for the band to reveal their big news. The countdown clock has only added to the mystery, and fans are now left wondering what's next for the band. Will the band finally break their silence? And what does this all mean for the future of Linkin Park?

We will have to wait and see how this all plays out.
