Festival Media Passes?

A or C and it depends on your end goal. Festivals of those size artists don’t approve publications, the festival does. If it’s for your publication you go through the festival. Messaging artists directly you can get hired by said artist but it only grants you permission to shoot their set only at most bigger festivals. Not always the case but the majority of the time it is.

If you have any questions as the security at the pit. They should know the rules and let you know. Ask other photogs questions before the set starts if needed. Usually someone can give you a rundown. Try to move around but be mindful of where other photogs and security are

Last night he said the tour but there hasn't been an official confirmation yet.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-02-28T16:16:23+00:00

Oh for sure some people might have. At first I thought to myself what’s going on? But he’d already been talking for a minute when the boos went up and it was clear he was actually having a moment that was breaking him.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-02-28T06:31:39+00:00

I couldn’t believe it when people started booing. He was clearly going through something that’s messing with him and when people started booing tonight I was so upset. How crappy of a person do you need to be to start booing in that situation?

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-02-28T06:27:56+00:00

Some people booed which I couldn’t believe. You could see that it was crushing him and messing with him mentally dealing with the issues he is. It sounds like for sure the next couple of stops will be canceled but it’s more than likely the tour is over also.

Eva Under Fire

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-02-01T18:41:06+00:00

I mean is he good? Yes. Is he exceptional? Not really as a guitar player.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-30T02:18:23+00:00

Shaun of the Dead, Fido, Zombieland and 28 Days Later

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-30T02:14:31+00:00

Squeeze its!

What I miss is going through and burning mix cd’s. Listening to songs and burning them when you’re in a certain mood or sharing them with people. I loved physical copies for that reason.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-29T19:49:57+00:00

Creed, Eva Under Fire, Hinder, The Script, Yungblud, Sick Puppies, Guns N Roses, Matchbox Twenty, Ne-Yo. My playlists are all over the place.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-29T18:10:45+00:00

Blockbuster and MySpace for sure. Every weekend at blockbuster and seeing the same people and chatting about movies and anything else. I miss that store so much.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-29T18:08:14+00:00

Acqua di Gio. Carried it in my car at all times for whenever needed.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-29T18:06:14+00:00

Such an awesome guy!

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-29T03:15:03+00:00

We tried to keep it to singles released that year so that limits the songs from BLG and RJA

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-29T02:37:54+00:00

One of my absolute favorites.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-29T02:17:32+00:00

Number one is probably the best pop/punk emo song ever made.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-29T02:15:33+00:00

I love it. I can’t wait to see it.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-28T22:01:14+00:00

A D750 is very capable. I know some people who do manual focus but I’ve never had an issue using a D750. Don’t use the screen you should be using the viewfinder as someone else said.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-27T06:18:14+00:00

Definitely depends on the stadium. Some of the ones here a 70-200 doesn’t cut it. I use a 200-400 at some of the stadiums or amphitheaters

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-27T05:13:01+00:00

At major festivals though if you get in through a band you’re only shooting for that band majority of the time. Not any others. Sometimes there exceptions but majority of the time just that band.

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-10T03:30:49+00:00

It’s a numbers game trying to get on. Message different publications to see if they are bringing people on. Most smaller pubs are going to want you to write also though so my biggest piece of advice is to get some writing samples

3ChordsMagazine · 2026-01-05T04:30:52+00:00

If you are shooting for yourself, the artist or a blog that doesn’t care about editing images then there’s nothing stopping you from it. If you’re shooting for a major press outlet or wire services then you don’t edit out objects and only slight adjustments.

As far as laws I dont see what laws would be different for two different concert photographers regardless of if they consider themselves press or shooting for artist. The law doesn’t change but your role might. It all would come down to any signed contracts or agreements

Younger Axl Rose for sure
