Linkin Park have announced a tribute concert for their late vocalist Chester Bennington at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl.
The band will be joined by special guests at the venue on October 27. Tickets are on sale at 10am PDT on September 22. In a statement, they said:
The one-night-only celebration will take place in Los Angeles at the legendary Hollywood Bowl on Friday, October 27, 2017. The band will be joined by a number of other artists, for an unforgettable night of music to honor the man that touched the lives of so many around the world.
Bennington died in July at the age of 41. Linkin Park have also shared a video for One More Light, directed by turntablist Joe Hahn and Mark Fiore. Discussing it, Hahn and Bennington's co-frontman Mike Shinoda said:
“It has been incredibly emotional to work on this, and especially to watch it. I feel that by doing it, we not only faced some of our biggest fears, but it enabled us to use our talents to bring some light to people that need it. As we move forward to the Hollywood Bowl show and beyond, I think about the people that connect with the band, outside and inside our circle. This video is a gesture of good will to the people that want that connection.” - Hahn
“One More Light was written with the intention of sending love to those who lost someone. We now find ourselves on the receiving end. In memorial events, art, videos, and images, fans all over the world have gravitated towards this song as their declaration of love and support for the band and the memory of our dear friend, Chester. We are so very grateful and can’t wait to see you again.” - Shinoda
