Grey Daze to return for 2026 UK headline tour

Grey Daze have announced a six-date UK headline tour.

Chester Bennington’s former band – completed by guitarist Cristin Davis, drummer Sean Dowdell, vocalist Cris Hodges, guitarist Kenny Bulka and bassist Evan Nichols – will cross the pond next March to play dates in Nottingham, London, Bristol, Newcastle, Manchester and Southampton.

“So pleased to announce Grey Daze are coming back to the UK in 2026!” they say. “We cannot wait to see you all again. More details and perhaps even more shows yet to be announced.”

The band came over here for their first UK tour last year, and before that released Chester tribute albums Amends in 2020, and The Phoenix in 2022. Ahead of the release of Amends, Sean told Kerrang! of both his pride but also nervousness in sharing their previously ‘lost’ material: “I’m very proud in how we curated this music. But, oh man, I have the weight of the world on my shoulders. Not only do I not want to let my friend down, but I want to make sure this is something that Chester would be doing cartwheels over. I also felt a responsibility to his fans, that the music was curated in a way that they could relate to it. I didn’t want to fuck it up.”
