Last month, Grey DazeChester Bennington's pre-Linkin Park band — played their first show in 23 years, and their first-ever without Bennington, at UFEST in their home state of Arizona.

Grey Daze had planned to reunite before the singer's tragic death in 2017, and in the years since, they've paid tribute their late bandmate with two new albums, 2020's Amends and 2022's The Phoenix, featuring remastered and previously unheard vocals from Bennington.

In their continuing mission to keep his legacy alive, Grey Daze brought in guest vocalist Cris Hodges to join guitarist Cristin Davis, bassist Mace Beyers and drummer Sean Dowdell for the UFEST performance. Photographer Jim Louvau was there to catch all the action — check out some of his standout shots below.

In August, the band will play three more shows, all in California — for more info and tickets, visit greydazemusic.com.
