Distrubed and Megadeth photographed at the Utilita Arena Birmingham during The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour in 2025.

This gig was everything you’d hope for in a metal show: tight, powerful performances, production that elevated the music without overcomplicating it, and a crowd that lived and breathed every riff. From a photographer’s perspective, nights like this are why live music exists—capturing not just the music, but the chaos, energy, and pure adrenaline of being there.
