In 2025, One Ok Rock, whose musical style oscillates between alternative rock, Emo and post-grunge, is taking a new step in its career with this announced performance at the Stade de France, opening for Linkin Park!

On July 11, another artist will take to the stage at the Stade de France, just before Linkin Park arrives. It's JPEGMafia.

Born in 1989 in New York, the rapper joined the United States Air Force at the age of 18. It was during his deployment to Japan that he began making music under the name Devon Hendryx. Then, once he was discharged from his military service, he launched his career under the pseudonym JPEGMafia. He then released his first mixtape,"Communist Slow Jams", in 2015, quickly followed by"Darkskin Manson", a few months later.

It was in 2016 that JPEGMafia - real name Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks - released his first proper album,"Black Ben Carson". Since then, the artist has produced four more records, including the critically acclaimed"All My Heroes Are Cornballs" and"I Lay Down My Life for You", released in August 2024.

In the summer of 2025, JPEGMafia will take to the stage of the Stade de France for the very first time, opening for Linkin Park. It's an opportunity to discover the songs of this American artist, who's sure to be the talk of the town!

Linkin Park has invited a number of other guests on the other dates of its impressive world tour, including the British band Architects, Grandson and Spiritbox.
