I saw this at a music venue. It was strapped onto railings above the audience facing the stage. Says “kick out”, is attached by zip ties, looks like a tube wrapped in a durable plastic coat, and looked like it might have a wire running to it.

It appears to be some kind of a rolled up banner, and it probably has a mechanism to remotely release it so it’ll unroll.

Hopefully in the process it’ll turn out to be short enough not to hit anyone on the head in the process.

Also, unless the image is flipped, the text is meant for viewers on the opposite side from the camera.

Image is not flipped, I had to turn away from the stage to see this, so I suppose if unfurled it would correctly face the audience when they look at the stage.

I’m just saying that unless unfurling it would rotate it horizontally, the “kick” will remain on the right and looks like it would be meant to be viewed by those up “there,” behind the sign.

Ohh a banner. Right, that makes sense. I thought it might be some sort of pyrotechnics.

So you’re thinking “kick out” is just what the banner is saying eg name of a band etc.

When unrolled it might say “KICK OUT THE JAMS!”

If the place doubles as a sports venue there may be rolled up banners all over the placem

There appears to be another line of text under it in your picture, although not enough of it is there to be legible. I’m sure it has other content as well – more text, logos, a photo, whatever.
