23 hours awake, 5 hours sleep and I'm up again. Day 2 was all about the great comeback from Pulp. And they really worked up the crowd before even making it to the stage with teaser banners like "Clap Your Hands". They didn't disappoint bring all their hits to Primavera. The National also played a "career" spanning set and dueting with Sufjan Stevens. Other highlights were James Blake and Simian Mobile Disco. View the photos here

First day of Primavera Sound 2011 was extremely hectic. With so many bands to shoot and the festival site been 1/3 size larger than last time I was here, it made for some very tired legs come 7am. Fantastic start to the festival with a intimate performance from Das Racist in the Ray Ban Unplugged tent, The Flaming Lips bringing their usual stage show to Barcelona with an amazing display and the crowd in great spirits to be then capped off by Girl Talk sampling popular tunes till 6.30am. Here are the photos

I shot Danish electro band When Saints Go Machine for Soundvenue last night. You can view the photos here

I was out shooting Queens Of The Stone Age tonight for Soundvenue. Was one hell of a show. Not only did they play their debut album in its entirety once they came on for the encore asked fans to pick and choose their favourite tracks. Only other band I've seen do this been Aqualung, much respect. View the photos here

Yesterday I was at Our Broken Garden's rehearsal for their opening appearance at SPOT Festival. Took some photos which you can view here

I shot Sufjan Stevens tonight for Soundvenue, didn't really no what to expect from the show so went open minded. Visually the light was spot on and the stage set was almost touching Flaming Lip's in a fluorescent theme. I'm very much looking forwards to Primavera Sound now where he'll play a couple of shows over the weekend. View the photos here
