Mike Shinoda, front-man for the Grammy award winning group, revealed the plans in a brief message to his fans on Monday, in which he also acknowledged receipt of the band's second "ECHO" award — the German equivalent of a Grammy.
"Looking forward to our first show at Madison Square Garden this week (sold out)!," he wrote. "Also, look forward to a special show that we’re doing in NYC in conjunction with Apple…shh…it’s a secret…"
Linkin Park is currently in the middle of a nationwide tour with special guests Coheed & Cambria, and Chiodos. The band will be playing tonight in Baltimore, MD before its show Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It will then head south for shows in Lexington, KY and Nashville, TN on the 25th and 26th, respectively.
It's unclear whether this "secret" New York City event has anything to do with a an Apple product event rumored to take place during the final week of the month. The company, however, has yet to issue any form of invitation or acknowledgment of such an event, suggesting one is increasingly unlikely during that timeframe.

Heck, they should be opening for Coheed.
Linkin Park? Seriously? They must have a small budget.
I saw a linkin Park video on MTV yesterday that was such a blatant rip off of U2 that at first i thought it was a joke.
I forget the name of the song, but the lead singer was doing such a bad imitation of Bono, and the guitar was not only ripping off the Edge, but the whole song sounded EXACTLY like U2's "With or Without You" but with different lyrics.
It really was embarrassing.
Find your own sound Linkin Park!
Linkin Park? I haven't heard of them for like 3 years.
...
It's unclear weather this "secret" New York City event ...
Is this metaphor? Are you trying to say that unclear weather is clouding the details of the event?
