Three teen girls in colorful concert attire take a selfie on The Pavilion lawn.

The camera faces The Pavilion stage from the right side of the crowd. Fake smoke and dozens of white and purple spotlights surround the performer (Post Malone, not clearly visible) while spectators cheer. Two big screens are on either side of the stage to show close-ups of the stage (also not clear in the photo). Above the stage is a large logo of The Pavilion and dark text that reads, "THE CYNTHIA WOODS MITCHELL PAVILION PRESENTED BY HUNTSMAN."
