Music Republic Magazine: Our Live Photos Of The Year 2025…

 

Week in, week out we run concert reviews and photographs from gigs and festivals across the UK and overseas, provided by our talented team of writers and photographers in the UK and further afield.

They do an incredible job; under sometimes difficult circumstances in the case of the guys and gals with the camera. It may be a closed pit and having to shoot from way back in an arena or festival site.

There may be only one song for them to get their shots, instead of the usual first three songs bands and artists usually allow professional snappers to shoot. The lighting can often be a challenge to say the least. And many more hurdles to clear to be able to do their job.

So, this special “Hot Shots” feature salutes each and every photographer who has contributed to our live coverage in 2025, with the “Editor’s Choice” of 15 of the best shots [in no particular order] published in our “Live Zone” this year.
