The final show is said to be slated for Little Rock, Arkansas, but more details, exact dates, and venues will be announced shortly.

"We're working on putting on a big summer show," Bennington said. "We do a show every year called Projekt Revolution and we're trying to take it to the next level. Hopefully, I'd like to get it up there and have it compete with Lollapalooza and Ozzfest, and bring some really great bands."

The January tour will mark Linkin Park's first full U.S. trek since the Summer Sanitarium 2003 dates with Metallica ended in August. The band will play the Smoke Out Festival in San Bernardino, California, on November 15.
