2023 – Baltimore, MD

Blessthefall stopped to perform at Baltimore Soundstage in Baltimore, MD on 8/20/2023. The band is currently on tour with Dragged Under, Kingdom of Giants, and Caskets. I have been a fan of Blessthefall since summer of 2013, when I saw them on Warped Tour. They are the band that I have seen the most out of all the concerts I’ve been to and every time has been better than the last. I was definitely fanboying out in the pit as I am as close to my favorite band as possible. What is even better, is they are playing their album “Hollow Bodies” cover to cover, which is my favorite album. This concert was chaotic, hot, sweaty, and forever memorable!

Anyway, continue reading below for more photos of Blessthefall and my full review of the show. Be sure to check out Blessthefall’s Official Website for music, videos, news, and tickets for all upcoming tour dates. All images copyright and courtesy of John Krebs.

Fortunately for me I was able to photograph Amyl and the Sniffers in Baltimore this past May. Holy shit. What an amazing show! Super intense performance. Australian punk rock mixed with super sweaty aerobics. It was hard keeping up with the band. This was the last show of their US tour and they played like champions. Bravo!

Megan Thee Stallion performed at Preakness LIVE in Baltimore, MD earlier this year and I was there doing my best to document the event. I basically stood in a field for about three hours to take these photos. It was well worth it though. Her performance was amazing. Extremely talented artist, and she’s gorgeous. I’m officially one of thee “hotties” now.

Bumpin Uglies kicked off the weekend at Baltimore Soundstage on March 19, 2021 and I was fortunate enough to be there enjoying the live music and spacious photo pit. The performance was their first of three sold out shows at Soundstage last week. This was my first time back in the venue since February 2020. Felt so good. It was a much needed dose of socially-distanced live music and concert photography.

Anyway, in this photo flashback we’re taking a glimpse into the world of post-COVID concerts. Continue reading below for more shots of Bumpin Uglies performing for a sold out room of mask-wearing fans in Baltimore, MD. All images copyright and courtesy of Andy Jillson.

Pigface performed at Baltimore Soundstage in Baltimore, Maryland on November 20, 2019 — and I, Andy Jillson, was there rocking out and taking pictures. This was about my eight or ninth time seeing Pigface live, but undoubtedly the most memorable. I was invited onstage by Martin Atkins to play the drums on his kit for the encore song, “Suck.” Mind-blowing. Surreal. Magical. Continue reading below for full concert review.
