Show a central outdoor festival stage, foreground record-shop counter with vinyl LPs and 45s, bridge-shaped piano labeled BRIDGE, anonymous heavy guitar amp stack labeled HEAVY RIFFS, four empty studio chairs and tape reel labeled END OF ERA, soul singer silhouette labeled SOUL, youthful pop dancers labeled POP, trophy shelf labeled AWARDS, and festival poster labeled ISLE OF WIGHT. Use earthy 1970s warmth, stage lights, concert-poster energy, no real artist names, no real likenesses, no exact album art, no official logos, no long captions, and no misspelled labels.
