well.. _that’s_ a location!
this pictures proofs, noise really adds mood to a picture.
well chosen focal length and angle

It was at ISO1600 with some editing in RAW to bring out more of the background detail. The lights were on the band so it was tricky trying to get that detail out the shadows, hence the noise. I never add noise to photos as I don’t believe in that. Adding it doesn’t look right. Its not a real effect produced by the sensor. High ISO works well enough IMHO.

Is that noise from the camera or did you add it after to replicate grain? Either way, it’s a great shot and the background really works well with the band.

Show at what iso setting? 1600? Great atmosphere anyway and a great band too :)
