Step 1.

Create new post

Step 2

Load the Photo Gallery Template

Click OK on the popup asking you if you are sure

Step 3

Add a title to your gallery: EVENT NAME (festival or concert name)

Step4

Select Photo gallery as category and REMOVE any other selected category (until I figure out how to do this by default)

Step 5 Add event info, such as artist name, venue, organizer, photographer

Step 6 Click on Add Gallery button which will open a nextgen gallery management window

Step 7 Click Manage Albums and in the window that opens fill in the album name netx to the text 'Add new album' and click ADD
Album name is the same as the event. Note that each album will contain several galleries (if needed)

In the example above I call my album Tons of Rock 2021

Step 8

Go to Upload images. Write the name of the gallery and click Create&Select. Each gallery represents a band name for your event

I will call mine band1, band2 and band3

Step 9

After you click create & select you can drag images into the gallery and once they load in the window, click Upload files at the bottom. Now your images have been uploaded to the gallery

You are taken back to step 7 which you can repeat for all the bands in your event.

Step 10

Once you are done create a gallery for each band, go to Manage Albums

The rightmost column contains a list of all albums. You can also select an album from the drop down at the top

In my case I will select Tons of Rock 2021

With this album selected, I will drag and drop the newly created galleries into this album

The galleries will be available in the middle column. And the column on the left are the galleries inside the current album. Initially,t here are no galleries in the album and it looks like this

After I drag and drop my albums called Band1, Band2 and Band3 from the second to the first column, it will look like this

Click UPDATE button on top once you have dragged the correct galleries

Step 11

Click Insert Into Page and make sure you switcj from Galleries to Albums in the first field

Then from the next drop down menu select the newly created album

Leave the settings as they are and click Insert Gallery

The gallery palceholder will be added to your post. Preferably at the end of the post, but it's ok, the editor will fix it.
