These (rainboots) are made for walking

One of the many obstacles you can encounter on a festival is mud and rain. This is not an excuse to look less cool.

I will try to mix these next many Roskilde posts with some band shots and some random Roskilde shots. Hope you like them.

Luckily raincovers wasn't needed for the most of the time
The first band I saw this year at Roskilde was Kellermensch. I was pleasantly surprised by this Danish band and I hope to get to see those guys again soon.



This guy actually makes really really good coffee too.

At 3 in the morning last saturday Specktors entered Cosmopol stage on Roskilde Festival to perform their biggest show so far. The guys were pretty nervous before entering but as soon as they hit the stage it all seemed to disappear and turn into pure fucking energy.

I knew there would be great photographers shooting the show from the front of the stage and since I have a thing for photographing people with their backs turned to me I was just more than happy to get to shoot the show from the side of the stage. I did take a few minutes in front but felt like I was in the way of the other guys so I quickly went back to my spot on the side.

Here is a few color shots of Specktors minutes before entering the stage that they later would destroy. Few minutes to 3:00

Specktors

It's no secret that I love going to the Roskilde Festival and when Specktors asked gave me a ticket to go and shoot them on this years festival I was beyond stoked. I have had the pleasure of seeing my homies here play in front of a screaming crowd before so I knew it would be a treat to shoot them at Roskilde.
I wanted to shoot them doing the festival off stage as well as on stage.




This first post will be from just before going on stage. There were absolutely no light in the backstage area at all so I didn't get as many shots as I had hoped for. I can usually do with just a tiny bit of light so I hadn't brought my flash gun. Big mistake. I hate using flash in situations like this because it feels so invasive but I could certainly have used it here.

The show was at 3 in the morning on saturday so I came to the backstage area a few hours before to try to catch some of the pre show tension.

They brought guests!
