Stone Temple Pilots Recording EP; Planning Tour

The new version of Stone Temple Pilots featuring Linkin Park's Chester Bennington on lead vocals have announced that they will release an EP this fall, in conjunction with a North American tour that kicks off on September 4th in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and winds down on September 27th in Las Vegas. The opening act on almost all the dates will be Filter. This will be the first major run of live dates, as well as the first official recording, since STP fired founding vocalist Scott Weiland earlier this year and recruited Bennington to take over.

STP will release the new EP through their own label. It will contain five songs, including the previously released "Out Of Time."
