Grimy Goods’ Best Concert Photography of 2015

 

As we kiss 2015 goodbye and welcome 2016, let’s not forget the stellar live music moments we shared in Los Angeles and around. The Grimy Goods photography staff have selected 10 of their best concert photos of 2015 to represent their momentous year. From underground breakout gigs at The Echo, to sold-out gigs at the Fonda Theatre, all the way to music festivals such as FYF Fest, these were Grimy Goods’ best concert photos of the year. Many of you attended these shows and relished in these unforgettable moments. We’d love to hear from you. Let us know if you attended any of these shows in a comment below, and share what stood out to you from this show.

Just as we did last year, Grimy Goods will run a contest off this feature where our photographers will have the opportunity to win some cash prizes based off YOUR votes. Grimy Goods readers who cast their votes will also be entered to win some cash money! Stay tuned to our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for when the contest(s) go live next week.

In alphabetical order by the last name of each photographer, we present to you Grimy Goods Best Concert Photography of 2015. Below you will find the best photos of the year featuring Ceethreedom, Danielle Gornbein, Wes Marsala, Jazz Shademan, Farah Sosa and Steven Ward.
