It's the first time that Linkin Park will perform since Bennington's death in July. They'll be joined by "a number of other artists" during the concert.
Warner Bros. says individual band members intend to contribute their fees from the show to Music For Relief in memory of Bennington.
The band has also released its video for "One More Light," the title track from its latest album. The video features Bennington singing and archive footage.
The band's co-vocalist Mike Shinoda says in a statement that the song is about "sending love to those who lost someone."
We will be playing, laughing, and crying together at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 27th, in honor of Chester. Love you guys.
