It's no secret that Stone Temple Pilots are reuniting, and now we can confirm that the band's first gig in six years is set for a secret location in Hollywood on Monday night. The band will perform to a small group of contest winners, fans, and Citi cardholders as they announce details of their 65-date tour, which kicks off May 17 at Columbus, Ohio's Rock the Range Festival.

The Monday night event is sponsored by Spin and Citi's Private Pass Program to benefit the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, and, for those of you who can't get into the Hollywood show, we'll be posting video from Monday night's event right here at SPIN.com.
