Our Backstage Portraits From Best Friends Forever 2024

Pool Kids by Jim Larson / Stereogum

The Stereogum staff spent last weekend in Las Vegas at the inaugural Best Friends Forever festival, taking in performances from a range of gritty and emotive ’90s underground rock heroes and their spiritual descendants. Yesterday we ran down some of our favorite performances from the fest, and today we’ve returned with backstage band portraits by photographer Jim Larson. Take a peek at the gallery below.
