Description
Five musicians stand on an outdoor stage with microphones and acoustic guitars, performing together. Two people play guitar, while the others sing or stand beside microphones. A yellow protest banner reading “DON’T DUMP ON US – MAKE THE POLLUTER PAY” is visible behind them, attached to a box truck. The word “CANCER” is written vertically in red on the banner’s right edge. Trees and other event infrastructure are visible in the background, indicating the performance is part of a public gathering or demonstration.
