Due to complications stemming from last week's big server switch-over, these photos did not run last week as planned. But hey, here they are now. Enjoy!

The second annual Hove Festival brought plenty of characters-- onstage and offstage alike-- to the island of Tromøya, off the coast of Arendal, Norway over the week of June 23-27. Among the many, many fest performers depicted below: Beck (with child), the Raconteurs, Animal Collective, Les Savy Fav, Lupe Fiasco, Deerhunter, St. Vincent, Band of Horses, Hercules and Love Affair, Vampire Weekend, the Cool Kids, Black Lips, Black Kids, Yeasayer, and Hove's own Hove/Hova, Jay-Z. Shucks, good thing Hove featuring Jay-Z wasn't held in Hova, Sweden, or else the internet might have imploded.
