That 4 arched structure is pretty similar to the gigantic structure (minus the central upper light tower, and flexible, openable conical suspended LED screen) that towered over U2 during their 360 tour 2009 - 2011.
It was called "The Claw".
I know bc I was there.

The rest of the grounds? What an effin' mess. Bastard!!

ETA - OK I guess the octigon part is the seating area's shape.
