Linkin Park will play a special show to honour bandmate Chester Bennington who died on July 20.

The band will gather for the first time since the Bennington tragedy for the one-night celebration of Chester’s life at the Hollywood Bowl on October 27.

Linkin Park has also created a video for the title track from ‘One More Light’. “Initially, the song had not been scheduled as a single, but the strong connection with fans in the weeks following Chester Bennington’s passing brought the track to the forefront”.

The ‘One More Light’ video was directed by Linkin Park’s Joe Hahn, and longtime band videographer, Mark Fiore, the video not only reflects on the memory of Chester, but also the comradery of the band, the people they work with, and the community that has given them strength.

“One More Light was written with the intention of sending love to those who lost someone. We now find ourselves on the receiving end,” says Mike Shinoda. “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.”
