He plans to also showcase art he created while working on his debut solo album Post Traumatic in the months following the death of Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington.

“Listening to a recorded song is not the same as experiencing that song live on stage,” Shinoda said in a statement. “Similarly, seeing a painting in an album or book is not the same as seeing the original, in person.

"In sharing a live experience with you, my hope is to inspire questions, answers, and reflection – not only about my story, but about your own. The search for meaning is boundless, and art is often one of our best vehicles.”

Tickets go on sale Aug. 10 at 10 a.m. local time.
