Festival season was alive and well this past weekend, with FLOOD photographers covering three very different gatherings: Sea.Hear.Now on the Jersey Shore, Riot Fest in Chicago, and Shaky Knees in Atlanta. Some artists crossed between bills—we caught headline sets from The Strokes at both Sea.Hear.Now and Shaky Knees, and connected for backstage portraits with Violet Grohl in Atlanta and Chicago—but Shaky Knees had its own character, bringing a wide mix of rock, hip-hop, and everything in-between to Piedmont Park beneath the city skyline.

Donny Evans captured the weekend for FLOOD; take a look at his live highlights and behind-the-scenes portraits below.
