Description
A musical group performs on a raised outdoor stage surrounded by speakers and equipment. Behind them, a yellow protest banner attached to a truck reads "DON'T DUMP ON US – MAKE THE POLLUTER PAY" with the word "REVENGE" written vertically in red. Audience members are seated on the grass in the foreground, watching the performance. A shirtless person in green shorts walks near the stage, and U-Haul and Coronet truck trailers are visible in the background, along with trees and balloons.
