Blink-182 and members of System of a Down, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, Bring Me the Horizon, Yellowcard and singer Kiiara will perform with Linkin Park at a tribute concert for singer Chester Bennington, who died on July 20.

The one-night-only celebration, announced earlier this week, will take place at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Friday, October 27.

The artists scheduled to take part, including the five remaining members of Linkin Park, are as follows: all the members of System of a Down except singer Serj Tankian, Korn’s Jonathan Davis, Bring Me the Horizon’s Oliver Sykes, Avenged Sevenfold’s M. Shadows and Syn Gates, Yellowcard’s William Ryan Key and Kiiara, who featured on the band’s most recent album, One More Light.

The members of Linkin Park said they will donate their fees from the event to Music For Relief’s One More Light Fund in memory of Chester Benington.

The official video for the album title track, One More Light recently premiered on the band’s social media pages.

"Initially, the song had not been scheduled as a single, but the strong connection with fans in the weeks following Bennington’s passing brought the track to the forefront," a statement read.
