Top Ten Photos of 2022

Our team of photographers pick their top ten images from their last twelve months of show coverage for Loud Hailer.

It has been great to see the number of tours that took place throughout 2022 after Covid brought all touring to a halt during the previous years. While some tours happened during 2021, it certainly wasn’t back to pre-covid levels. This year we got to see a marked increase in shows and Loud Hailer was on hand to capture all genres of music and all sizes of bands. 

Our Loud Hailer team of photographers had the privilege of capturing artists such as Iron Maiden, Nick Cave, Eric Clapton, The Smashing Pumpkins, Cheap Trick, Judas Priest, The Pretty Reckless, and many more.
