Hangout Festival 2013 Experiences Triumphant Year

Hangout Music Festival Crowd

The 2013 Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama was a success in every sense of the word.  The beautiful sunny weather on the beach once again provided the perfect environment for patrons to enjoy its best musical lineup yet.  It was neither too hot nor too cold.  With over 60 acts, every genre of music was accounted for.  The Hangout saw everything from the best in indie rock such as The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Shins, to jambands such as Umphrey’s McGee and Moe, to electronica’s heavy hitters in Bassnectar and Porter Robinson, and everything in between.  Being able to see Tom Petty, Stevie Wonder, and Trey Anastasio all giving us everything they have in the same festival was nothing short of magical.  Other than the headliners, festival highlights included The Roots, Galactic, and Toots and The Maytals.

Bonnaroo Music Festival Crowd Photos

The 10th annual Bonnaroo Music Festival attracted around 80,000 music fans last summer to see, hear and experience an huge plethora of bands that came from across the globe to perform.  The mid June festival, held in Manchester, Tennessee, frequently saw temperatures over 100° degrees during the 4 day event.  During the course of four incredible days this summer and photographing at least 30 performances at Bonnaroo, I captured many photos of the crowd during and between the performances.  Many people having lots of fun—that's what you'll see in this gallery.  To play a slideshow of the Bonnaroo crowd photos, click on any photo.  Then click on the large image to scroll through or use your mouse roller.  Visit Performance Impressions concert photography archives to see photos from the last 10 years of Bonnaroo Music Festival including 29 galleries from performances at Bonnaroo 2011.
