Here we go – the first of two galleries celebrating your favourite live music shots of 2024! We’re delighted to once again have an incredible selection of gig and festival photos from around the world to share with you. Images are mixed by style, genre and orientation but otherwise in no particular order. We’ll be back tomorrow with part 2; until then, we hope you’ll enjoy looking back at some of 2024’s highlights and find some talented new photographers to follow…
