This shot of Glenn Danzig captures a moment of punk rock history: the original Misfits reunion at Riot Fest in Denver, Colorado, on September 4, 2016. It had been over three decades since Danzig, Jerry Only, and Doyle shared the stage, making this performance one of the most highly anticipated events in punk rock. Backed by Dave Lombardo on drums and Acey Slade on second guitar, the Misfits delivered a blistering set that fans had been dreaming about for years.

I remember the atmosphere being absolutely electric—thousands of fans packed into the Stadium Arena, buzzing with anticipation. When Danzig took the stage, his commanding presence and unmistakable voice ignited the crowd. This moment, captured mid-performance, reflects the raw energy and dark charisma that define the Misfits. Danzig’s leather-clad intensity, the haunting stage lighting, and the thunderous sound of the band made it clear: this was more than just a reunion—it was a resurrection.
