Ultra Music Festival 13 hit Miami on March 25–27, 2011 and if you attended, then chances are you got shot by the lens of Adam Jackson, corresponding photographer, at least once. Jackson is a prolific lifestreamer and photographer who’s made his way to UMF every year since 2004. Researchers have clocked him at 60 photos per minute. 40.

November doesn’t usually get a lot of hype in the world of music—I’m here to change that with a massive set of rock music photos—mostly they’re live because that’s the way rock is meant to be heard. Two of the shows I went to, and the rest I wish I did. Includes everything from ‘underground’ through Smashing Pumpkins and spans New Jersey, Brazil, Dublin, Barcelona, and more. (25 photos total)

Last week, with the help of photographer Adam Jackson, I posted a photoset from the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. UMF was a sellout event, but only a few photographers seemed to capture it. Adam voiced his frustration that for such a huge event like UMF, only a relatively small amount of decent media makes it to Flickr and YouTube.

UMF is an annual electronic music festival in Miami’s Bicentennial Park, and is the official closing event for WMC—a music industry panel/workshop event for DJ’s, producers, label reps, and the like. This year—for the first time ever—UMF completely sold out, and announced that next year this 2-day multistage dancefest would expand to 3 days. 25 photos.
