This Is What Live Music Looked Like Last Week

Summer festival season means that if there's no festival to go to (unlikely), there'll be a dozen other festival sideshows to occupy your time with instead.

With a hurricane of Falls Festival sideshows in town, this week was a big one for internationals like Bloc Party, The Wombats, The Maccabees, Halsey, Leon Bridges and more. Check out the best photos from this last week of Falls sideshows!
