The day before was a long day for me in Pompeii - still one of the greatest adventures and events I've ever attended. I was staying in Naples - not far from Pompeii. After the Pompeii show I got back to the hotel around 12:30 pm, and then I had to get up at 5 am to catch a six-and-a-half-hour train up to Verona and then an hour car drive to my room in Este. A really cool place to stay - it was converted from an old factory building constructed in the 1600s into a smaller b

The streets of Tampa's Ybor City are alive as the sun sets on this last Friday of the month. Tonight, the exciting John Wood Band rolls into the Zodiac Club to support the immensely talented band Twin Fin on their Kings of the Coast Tour. This six-piece ensemble brings fresh energy, cool vibes, and a unique sound to their performances. Tonight marks the second of three Florida stops, continuing to build their fan base and win over new audiences with every stage they step on.

As a longtime rock-and-roll fan and live music photographer, I have photographed Dawes many times. However, this was my first time photographing lead singer Taylor Goldsmith and his brother, drummer Griffin Goldsmith, performing together as a duo. That opportunity came on July 30, 2026, at the Groton Hill Music Center in Groton, Massachusetts, a beautiful venue with incredible acoustics.

Just to stand there and think about all the people who had been in that venue in ancient days were truly mind-blowing. Savatage – while not nearly so ancient – have a storied history of their own. I've been a fan of the band since the very beginning, from my tape-trading days when I first discovered them to buying the Sirens album on its release date in 1983. During the 80s, I saw the band four times and photographed them twice in 1990 but I haven't seen them since.

On July 25, 2026, Ragged Mountain Resort in Danbury, New Hampshire, welcomed the Kinfolk Music & Arts Festival. Designed as a community-focused gathering in the mountains, the festival was about more than just music. It was a celebration of community, family, creativity, and the arts. The festival emphasized a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with interactive activities, artisan booths, arts and crafts vendors, and more.

The doors opened at 7:00 p.m. Rapidly, the seats at the theatre were filled up. The crowd was very excited to enter this historic venue with fantastic lights and sound and went crazy when the band entered the stage. The performance featured tracks from their albums and a mix of original songs and classic tracks from the Allman Brothers Band.

Yungblud is back, and Indianapolis was there for it. Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park in Indianapolis on July 28, 2026, was a sold-out show. This was a reschedule date, but it was definitely worth all of the anticipation. Good things come to those who wait. After taking some time off and skipping a festival to take a break to focus on loved ones and for his mental health, he’s back and phenomenal as expected. You can’t even be mad about it.

Growing up in the Philippines, The Fray and Dashboard Confessional were two of the bands that defined my high school years. Their songs constantly played on the radio and became part of some of my favorite memories. Never did I imagine that one day I'd be standing in the photo pit, capturing the very artists whose music I grew up listening to.

Some concerts are just another night out. Others feel like a full-circle moment. Flyleaf’s sold-out stop at The Fillmore Minneapolis on July 19 was undoubtedly the latter. The 20 Year Anniversary Tour marks Flyleaf’s first official tour with original vocalist Lacey Sturm since her departure from the band in 2012. While the reunited lineup has appeared at various festivals over the years, this tour gives fans the chance to experience the band in a full headlining setting on

The Summer School Tour proved exactly why it's becoming a must-see summer event. With every band bringing their own personality and style to the stage, the night never felt repetitive. From discovering a new favorite in Lake Drive to witnessing the chaos of Winona Fighter and celebrating Honey Revenge's well-earned success, Minneapolis was treated to one heck of a show. When the final bell rang, fans left with sore feet, ringing ears, sweat- soaked shirts, and a few new favor

MASS MoCA was the perfect backdrop for Dacus’s thoughtful songwriting and understated stage presence. Set within the sprawling campus of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, a former 19th-century textile and electronics manufacturing complex transformed into one of the country’s premier contemporary arts centers, the venue’s industrial brick buildings and open-air Courtyard D created an atmosphere that felt both intimate and expansive.

Friday, July 24th - Fans did not just buy a ticket to a concert. They bought a ticket to 1987 full of hair and massive riffs! L.A. Guns and the Tom Keifer Band packed a production so massive it was a total assault on all senses to a sold-out crowd at the Clyde Theatre in Fort Wayne, IN that left you feeling like you were standing in the middle of Sunset strip blvd.

When the Born to Kill Tour was initially announced I was met with such mixed emotion. One one side I was so excited that one of my favorite bands was coming out with a new album and going on tour and then I was hit with a slight bit of disappointment and jealousness that there was not a stop scheduled anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. I let practicality and rational thought rule the day and just accepted the fact I wasn't going to see Social D this summer but then some crazy

On July 22, 2026, Muse performed at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, as the tenth stop on The Wow! Signal Tour. Bloc Party and The Temper Trap opened the evening. The Wow! Signal, Muse's tenth studio album, stays true to many of the band's signature sounds and themes while introducing new material. The album's title references the famous "Wow!" signal, a mysterious 72-second radio signal detected on August 15, 1977.

Marking the twentieth anniversary of their self-titled album, Johnny Borrell and Andy Burrows of British indie sensations Razorlight delivered an incredible surprise performance at Covent Garden’s Stereo. The evening was an acoustic celebration of stories and songs from around the album, combined with some of their earlier hits.
