Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda has announced the dates for a number of solo shows, which he will be performing in Asia this August.

Shinoda will be performing songs from his recent 3-song EP and upcoming full-length album which are both titled Post-Traumatic.

Linkin Park have been inactive since Chester Bennington, who shared vocal duties with Shinoda, passed away last August. In spite of this, the band have not announced that they are breaking up.

Shinoda released an EP titled Post-traumatic in January, where he appears to reflect on his feelings and experiences following the death of Bennington.

While speaking about his upcoming performances, Shinoda said: “I’m looking forward to getting back to releasing music and touring,” Shinoda said. “Those things are ‘normal’ to me — it’s what my professional life has revolved around for years. And I know this will be different, so I’m excited to figure out what this new normal is.”

The dates for the shows are as follows:

August 7 — Hong Kong, China
August 9 — Bangkok, Thailand
August 18 — Osaka, Japan
August 19 — Tokyo, Japan
