The live music industry reported record revenues for 2022, according to a recent report by Variety. In the wake of the pandemic, artists were clearly ready to tour again, and fans were ready to show up and spend.
The Current‘s photographers were there to capture the excitement of that banner year.
Our shutterbugs caught the best moments when German rockers Rammstein lit up the Alamodome and when the Flaming Lips psychedelicized the Aztec Theatre. They also documented the action when dynamic local and regional acts such as Piñata Protest and A Giant Dog tore up stages.
Here’s a roundup of their amazing shots from amazing San Antonio shows.
