Rainy Show with Guest Appearance

Veronica Maggio's show at Liseberg in late August sold out very quickly as they got released back in spring. I figured the spots in the photo pit were equally desireable, but gave it a shot anyway, and managed to get one.

Only able to experience the first three songs, I can't say much about the show as a whole. From clips I've seen, fellow pop star Miriam Bryant who she's also shared stage with for a full tour, also made an appearance.

Crowd Pics

Were you in the crowd? Take a look in the pictures below and see if you're in there!

Maggio has some really sweet fans, by the way. Several high-fived us photographers as we left the pit. So adorable!

A good rain coat is essential in the Swedish summer, especially for your camera gear!

Plenty of dedicated fans were there early, and in lack of a recliner, used the fence as a makeshift backrest.

Ms. Maggio has fans of all ages.

But mainly the younger ones gathered at the front.

A vast sea of happy faces!

Photographing the Event

My biggest fear shoothing the show was the unreliable weather. Minutes before the show, there was a drizzle, but I skipped the rain covers as they would probably get in the way. Instead, I zipped my rain coat before the show and protected the cameras that way, with the two cameras making a massive bulge on my torso. Probably looked very stylish and fancy indeed!

Then, during the shoot, came a pretty significant splash of rain from behind, but the gear remained unscathed.
