As the Allianz Arena prepares for the 2025 UEFA Champions League final, the atmosphere is set to be electric. The clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan isn’t the only spectacle; the pre-match entertainment promises to captivate audiences worldwide.
Linkin Park is slated to headline the Kick-Off Show, bringing their signature energy to the grand stage. Adding to the musical lineup, a renowned German violinist will deliver a unique rendition of “Seven Nation Army“.
The song has become synonymous with soccer culture, its chant echoing through stadiums across the globe. This year’s final continues the tradition, intertwining the worlds of music and sport in a celebration of unity and passion.
Who will perform ‘Seven Nation Army’ at the Champions League final?
At the 2025 UEFA Champions League Final in Munich, German violinist David Garrett will perform a special rendition of “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes during the trophy presentation. This performance will take place just before the teams, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan, enter the pitch.

His violin-led version of the iconic sports anthem is designed to capture the excitement and artistry of the moment, echoing the anticipation as the teams prepare for kick-off.
This isn’t his first time performing at a UEFA final; he previously appeared at the 2012 Champions League Final in Munich, accompanying tenor Jonas Kaufmann. On that occasion, he performed a special version of the competition’s official anthem, composed by Matt Clifford.
In addition to his awaited performance, the opening ceremony will feature a headline act by Linkin Park, who will debut a special remix of their hit song “Numb” to commemorate the occasion.
