For those about to rock...we have some news for you.
After more than three years in the death realm, [PENTAKILL][1] -- Riot Games’ virtual heavy metal band -- are returning to the stage this Sunday, April 11 at 1pm PT at the historic Los Angeles Greek Theatre.
The band will offer a sneak peek of their upcoming track at the Mid-Season Showdown Opening Ceremonies Presented by Mastercard and kick off a global collaboration with [Jackson][2]®, makers of the metal guitars and shred machines.

Introducing Jackson®
--------------------
[Jackson][1]® and PENTAKILL will embark on a bespoke and never before seen global collaboration throughout the rest of the year, with unique activations that showcase their instruments’ powerful performance and distinctive style.
And if that doesn’t already strike a chord, Jackson® is coming onboard as the first official guitar partner of the LCS, so fans can continue head banging even after the show ends. Look out for more news surrounding both of these partnerships later this year.

(Re)Introducing PENTAKILL
-------------------------
This will be PENTAKILL’s first performance following their 2017 chart-topping album “[II: Grasp of the Undying][1]”, and after 100+ million collective views of their YouTube [playlist][2] and “[Mortal Reminder][3]” music video.
The sneak preview of their newest song, which will be released later in 2021, is reimagined specifically for this show and broadcast directly to fans with a few killer surprises.
PENTAKILL, featuring lead vocals by Norweigian rock giant [Jørn Lande][4], will perform in-person at The Greek.
