September marks the end of a sumptious summer full of music festivals covering every kind of music – and Lebrecht’s photographers have been out there, busy shooting festivals in the UK and abroad – from Edinburgh to Henley, from Switzerland to Russia. These photos give context and atmosphere as well as actual production shots of a few of them.

Our newest photographer Simon Jay Price was in Kent covering the festival, where Bob Dylan headlined.
