There was a Pussy Riot onstage at Barclays Center Wednesday night—but no one was hurt. Maria Alyokhina (left) and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, members of the famed Russian group were just one of the many acts to speak out against injustice and perform for human rights as part of the Amnesty International Concert presented by the CBGB Festival. The pair, who were only recently given amnesty after spending months in jail for protesting in front of Moscow's orthodox cathedral, joined bands like Imagine Dragons, Cold War Kids, The Fray, and her Madgesty Madonna.
