A wide, high-angle shot of the interior of the Fabrik nightclub in Madrid during a crowded event. A dense mass of people fills the main dance floor, facing a stage area obscured by lighting effects. Two large, vertical columns of white smoke or CO2 jets erupt from the center of the crowd toward the high, industrial ceiling lined with metal trusses. Warm orange spotlights illuminate the audience from above, while sharp white light beams cut through the haze. Spectators crowd the elevated balconies visible on the left and right sides of the venue.

Against a dark, textured brick wall in the background, the word "WURLITZER" is painted in large, distressed white capital letters. The stage is cluttered with musical equipment, including a red drum kit on the right with a bass drum head featuring a tiger illustration and the text "PEACHY JOKE." To the left, a stack of guitar amplifiers, including Marshall and Vox brands, stands next to microphone stands and a flight case also bearing the "Peachy Joke" logo.

A low-angle, medium shot depicts the interior of a crowded, rustic tavern, the sherry bar La Venencia. To the left, floor-to-ceiling wooden shelves are densely packed with rows of dark, dusty bottles. A crowd of people fills the foreground and middle ground, socializing in the warm, dim light cast by hanging pendant lamps. The walls are an aged ochre color adorned with vintage framed posters, and a large wooden cask sits on a stand in the background.
