Inhibitions tend to be set aside at music concerts and festivals, or maybe it’s just people getting to be the persons they always wanted to be. In any case, most fans are happy to listen to some good music and have a relaxed time with friends, while artists give it their all. All of which makes for good moments captured by our roving band of photographers. (Photos by Jack Gorman, Mohammad Mia, Roderick Pullum and Eric Sauseda)
