Each year, the Cardon Children's Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona hold a fundraising benefit called Stars Of The Season. The Cardon Children's Medical Center is a state-of-the-art pediatric medical facility that specializes in providing family-centered care in an environment created just for kids. The Stars Of The Season event was created to benefit programs and services at the Cardon Children's Medical Center. This is especially important to the patients at the facility as a way to help restore hope to the children fighting complex diseases, injuries and defects.

On their facebook page, Stars Of The Season have announced that the Chester Bennington fronted Stone Temple Pilots will be headlining their fundraiser this year at a yet-to-be-announced time and place.

Chester Bennington has been no stranger to the Stars Of The Season fundraiser or the Cardon Children's Medical Center. According to this heart-warming must-read article, Chester and his family have volunteered their time to visit the medical center with their Boston Terrier, who helps as a therapy companion dog. Also, it has been stated that Chester has performed at the Stars Of The Season benefit before.

Personally, having kids, when a celebrity takes the time to be involved with a children's hospital, that speaks volumes of their character. When your child is unwell and needs to go to the doctor, you will do anything within your means to make them feel better. Finding out that Chester is willing to do that for other people's kids is something that brings a smile to my face and absolutely makes me proud to call myself a Linkin Park fan.

Linkin Park has announced that their 9th International LPU Summit will be held in Hong Kong on August 15th, 2013.

Here is the announcement post from the LPU:

Who's planning to attend this very exciting event!? Swing, jump or hop on by our forums and let us know!

Today something awesome happened. You may remember that last week Linkin Park announced that they will be playing the Sunset Strip Music Festival on August 3rd in West Hollywood, CA. The Sunset Strip Music Festival is a three day event which has bands performing at various popular locations along the iconic strip on Sunset Boulevard. What's so great about this show is that Linkin Park will be playing the ultimate home-town gig, as a bunch of these venues are home to some of Linkin Park's first performances as a band, including Whisky A Go-Go which is the first known venue the band ever played together on November 14, 1997 as Xero. The Roxy which Linkin Park played first on September 5, 2000 and once more on July 18, 2004 for their memorable collaboration concert with Jay-Z. House of Blues was first played on March 4, 2002 with their last performance at the intimate venue being one of last year's most notable shows on May 18, 2012. Of course, these are just the shows we know about, there's probably countless others unaccounted for as Linkin Park just started gigging locally.

Well today Linkin Park did something that they probably haven't done in a long time, went out into the LA area to hand out flyers and posters for their upcoming show on the Sunset Strip. This is a great way to pay homage to their roots in the city that started it all, and an awesome callback to something they were only too familiar with fifteen years ago. Not only did they become Street Soldiers for the day, they also mass photocopied the posters at the store, which are all hand drawn and promote the appearance of "Hybrid Theory" and "Xero". It's awesome to see the band take this approach for their last US show of the year, and if you head into the LA area today, you might just catch this guerrilla marketing at work.

Keep checking out Linkin Park's Twitter, Mike's Twitter and Phoenix's Twitter for ongoing Viddy's and images from their tour of LA as they hand out flyers.

After the out of nowhere announcement yesterday that Chester Bennington had joined Stone Temple Pilots on stage at the KROQ Weenie Roast for a full set and recorded a brand new song titled "Out of Time" for their upcoming album, it was all but confirmed that Chester had in fact joined Stone Temple Pilots as the lead singer, replacing former vocalist Scott Weiland. Today a backstage interview from the KROQ Weenie Roast has appeared online where Chester delves into the details of his new venture and how he is now lead singer for both Linkin Park and Stone Temple Pilots going forward. He also confirms that he and STP have some songs in the works for a potential album and a possible tour sometime in the future. Check out the full interview clip below courtesy of KROQ and ChesterBNetwork.

Chester will join Stone Temple Pilots on the two announced dates on the tour schedule; including tonight, May 19th for BFD 2013 in Mountain View, CA and May 30th at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, CA. Expect more dates to be added down the line. Be sure to check out the new single "Out of Time" if you haven't already and let us know what you think of Chester joining Stone Temple Pilots on the LPA Forums.

So this came out of nowhere. It appears that Chester Bennington of Linkin Park has been hard at work recording new music with the Stone Temple Pilots. Linkin Park's lead vocalist tonight unveiled the brand new track titled "Out of Time", which is the first track from what appears to be an upcoming new Stone Temple Pilots album. It's unknown if Chester has in fact recorded more tracks, a full album or just this one song with Stone Temple Pilots, but Chester appears in the promotional band photos on the newly redesigned StoneTemplePilots.com.

Chester also made a surprise appearance at tonght's KROQ Weenie Roast where he performed Out of Time for the very first time alongside the Stone Temple Pilots, where he then went on to play the whole show. Following the performance of Out of Time, the song then had its worldwide premier on KROQ, followed by a simultaneously released promotional Out of Time Teaser Video via the newly official Stone Temple Pilots YouTube channel. It's worth noting that Stone Temple Pilots have added two dates to their upcoming tour schedule; Tonight, May 19th for BFD 2013 in Mountain View, CA and May 30th at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, CA. Although it's not absolutely confirmed Chester will take the role as full-time vocalist for STP, it's more than likely that he will take the stage for these announced dates with Chester stating on Twitter that this was the first show of his run with STP.

This move came out of nowhere with no prior announcement from the band or Chester himself, but definitely makes sense considering the Stone Temple Pilots are known to be Chester's favourite band of all time. Chester will join remaining band members Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz, replacing former lead-vocalsit Scott Weiland who's status with the band was officially terminated on February of this year. Here's what Dean DeLeo had to say about choosing Chester to be their vocalist for Out of Time.

Here's what Chester had to say about working with Stone Temple Pilots:

There's definitely a lot of questions in regards to Chester's involvement with Stone Temple Pilots. With confirmed tour dates, promotional images and a new song with footage of Chester in the studio with STP, it definitely looks like this could be considered a side project rather than just the collaboration on one song. Chester Bennington will be on KROQ radio's Kevin & Bean Show this coming Monday, May 20th to discuss his work with STP and exactly what it entails. In the mean time it's worth noting Chester has not left Linkin Park and never will, as he said tonight on Twitter, stating "FYI, I will never leave LP. We are currently working on a new record and its awesome!"

You can listen to the new track below or download it absolutely free via Radio.com! Once you've checked it out be sure to let us know what you think of Out of Time and Chester working with Stone Temple Pilots on the LPA Forums.

In an interview with Fuse, Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn talk about being in the mix and teases new music on new LPTV's in "the next couple of months."

The Sunset Strip Music Festival is a three day event which has bands performing at various popular locations along West Hollywood's iconic strip on Sunset Boulevard. The festival originated in 2008 and has featured such acts as The Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, The Offspring and many others.

Iconic participating venues include the House of Blues, Roxy Theatre, Whisky A Go-Go, Key Club and Viper Room. Some of these venues are home to some of Linkin Park's most prominent gigs of the past, including Whisky A Go-Go which is the first known venue the band ever played together on November 14, 1997 as Xero. The Roxy which Linkin Park played first on September 5, 2000 and once again on July 18, 2004 for their memorable collaboration concert with Jay-Z. House of Blues was first played on March 4, 2002 with their last performance at the intimate venue being one of last year's most notable shows on May 18, 2012. Here's what Mike Shinoda had to say in regards to playing the Sunset Strip again.

Linkin Park originally stated that their show in Las Vegas, NV at Planet Hollywood on February 16, 2013 was to be their only North America date of the year but with this announcement, it seems they have managed to fit in one more show for the US fans before they head off to Asia as part of the Living Things World Tour in August.

The three day event takes place at the participating venues for the first two days, whilst the third is a street festival which covers the whole strip. Linkin Park will perform on the final day of the festival, Saturday, August 3rd as headlining act of the street festival.
