Was at the Vega tonight to shoot Frank Turner for a little work and a little pleasure. There to shoot Frank Turner who was supporting Social Distortion. I've seen Frank a couple of times before live and this performance hes grown as a performer and looks like one of the only musicians out there who actually enjoys what he and his session musicians are doing onstage. Simply fantastic. View the photos here 

Last night I was shooting Foo Fighters for Soundvenue. The concert was extremely special, they put on an amazing performance and rolled out the hits. They also brought along Biffy Clyro and The Gaslight Anthem. Made for a fantastic night. VIew Foo Fighters photos here // Biffy Clyro here // Gaslight Anthem here

I shot Cage The Elephant last night for Soundvenue. One of the better concerts I've seen in the venue. They were on top form and made for some great photos. View them here

Just got my accreditation for Roskilde Festival 2011 in the post today. Also released today was the RF plan. Expect photos from The Strokes, Iron Maiden, OFWGKTA, Foals, PJ Harvey, Magnetic Man, M.I.A, Arctic Monkeys, Deadmau5, Bring Me The Horizon, Pulled Apart By Horses and many more.

Day 3 was all about the hyped rap collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, with Tyler, the Creator just released his album a couple weeks back that was a main focus of the show. The whole show was extremely crazy, with Tyler stage diving almost instantly as he came on stage, catching most of us photographers off guard. One of the better bands I've ever shot but still nothing to compare with The Flaming Lips Friday night set. Fleet Foxes played earlier in the day before the big champions league game as the sun was starting to set over the Parc Del Forum, was a perfect setting for some harmonious folk. Ended up the night watching DJ Shadow. I will say one only fault with Primavera Sound is that they kept changing the times of the bands on the Llevant stage which made me miss the opportunity to shoot DJ Shadow. But thats only a little fault to this festival which can only be beaten by Glastonbury in my eyes. 

There was a massive influence from the Spanish protests in Plaza Catalunya the previous day with posters lining the festival site, a video can be seen of the protests here
