GAYLE is a young artist taking the internet by storm with her punk rock music. You may know her debut single, "ABCDEFU," which topped the charts worldwide, becoming an anthem for teenagers across the country. Her song was used all over social media platforms, including Tik Tok, where she has over one million followers. At the age of 17, she has gone on tour with AJR, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and My Chemical Romance, to name a few. These photos were taken at the Xfinity Center located in Mansfield, MA. The headliner, AJR, had an audience of over 13,000 who all welcomed GAYle on stage.
