Three months after frontman and Valley-native Chester Bennington died by suicide, Linkin Park and other musicians will hold a memorial concert tonight at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California.

The show marks the group's first performance since Bennington's death. 

While the show sold-out almost immediately, fans around the world will be able to watch a live-stream of the concert tonight via the band's Youtube Channel. (We've embedded the player below).

The show is scheduled to begin at 7:45 p.m. Pacific Time (Arizona is in Pacific Time right now).

According to a news release, Linkin Park will be joined by Blink-182, Machine Gun Kelly, Jonathan Davis of Korn, Zedd and members of No Doubt.

Bennington was born in Phoenix in 1976 and attended three Valley high schools. He also lived in Gilbert for a time before moving to Los Angeles.

He was also a big supporter of the Banner Health Foundation and the pediatric programs at Cardon Children's Medical Center.

Bennington also helped launch Tempe's Club Tattoo.
