I don’t see how it could be illegal. It’s what press photographers do isn’t it… they take photos and sell them.

perfectly legal if they are a public figure/celebrity however if it was of your no name neighbor then it would be illegal think paparazzi

Normally you would have a valid copyright claim to any photo you personally took. Your problem here, however, is that you took a picture of the band’s performance. The band holds the copyright to their original performance. You violated their copyright by taking the photos without their permission.
If you get a picture of them walking down the street, it’s a different story.

good question. I would say you could do it because as a photographer you could call it your intellectual property. Just bear in mind that celebrities have enough money to hire a great team of lawyers.
