With Alison Wonderland, DJ Khaled, Carnage & more.
Frames
June 24, 2016

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to go on tour with one of the world’s biggest DJs, run into DJ Khaled and spend unnecessary amounts of money at a Miami strip club?

That’s just a regular day in the life of Jack Bennett – Life Without Andy’s own shooter who’s out there on the front lines, in the midst of the sweat and spilled beers at festivals and gigs across the globe. Armed with his trusty camera, he’s collected countless amazing shots over the years, which is why we’ve looked in house for this week’s edition of Frames.

Back in February, Jack headed across to the United States to join Alison Wonderland and Carnage at various shows across the United States. As you can probably imagine, there was no shortage of shenanigans on tour, while Jack also managed to scale some tall buildings and attend Kanye West’s album launch in between.

See some of the action in his tour diary below, which should give you an insight into life on the road. You can also keep up with all of Jack’s escapades over on Instagram, while he’s set to embark on his exclusive European tour in the coming months. Prepare for more banter:
