Linkin Park has announced they will be releasing a 20th-anniversary reissue of their debut album Hybrid Theory.

Last week, Mike Shinoda teased that there were plans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band’s debut album.

Shinoda told Kerrang!: “We’ve done our best to go to a lot of people who are family, in a sense, and say, ‘What do you think we should do? What would be a good celebration of ‘Hybrid Theory?’ and try our best to do a bunch of those ideas.”

Since then, the band has confirmed that they will be releasing a reissue of the album. Hybrid Theory: 20th Anniversary Edition will be released in multiple formats including five CDs, three LPs, and three DVDs.

“It’s incredible to think it’s been 20 years since Hybrid Theory was released,” Linkin Park said in a statement. “All gratitude to our fans who made this epic journey we started 20 years ago possible. We dedicate our music to you. We rededicate our Hybrid Theory to you.”

Hybrid Theory: 20th Anniversary Edition will be available October 9.
