Equestria Girls: Sunset's Backstage Pass[]
In Sunset's Backstage Pass, the Equestria Girls arrive at the Starswirled Music Festival, with Sunset and Pinkie excited to see PostCrush's reunion together. On the day of the festival, Pinkie gets distracted by several things, including the tandem bicycle giveaway and the neon garden. When she accidentally ruins Puffed Pastry's churro cart, she and Sunset get kicked out. The next day, Sunset learns that the first day has looped over, giving her a second chance to see PostCrush, however no one else realizes it, and Pinkie gets them kicked out again. The following time loop, Sunset avoids Pinkie and manages to see PostCrush by herself, however the time loop continues for several more days. Upon learning that the Time Twirler, an Equestrian artifact is creating the time loop, she and her friends resolve to find it. On the twentieth time loop, she and Pinkie discover that PostCrush is creating the time loop in order for their reunion performance to be perfect. After getting kicked out again, they are let back in by a security guard. Sunset and Pinkie manage to destroy the Time Twirler, end the time loop, and convince PostCrush that their audience don't expect their audience to be perfect. They perform their song True Original with Sunset and Pinkie on backup. They next day, Sunset is releaved that they are now in the second day of the festival.
Areas[]
Tandem bicycle giveaway[]
At the festival, there is a stand offering a free tandem bicycle for guessing the correct number of jellybeans in a jar. It is one of the things Pinkie Pie is first distracted by during the first day of the festival. In the final time loop, Sunset allows her to win it, by correctly guessing the correct number of 572 and a half, as half was eaten by the stand operator in the parking lot, presumably using her powers.
Neon Garden[]
Neon Garden
The festival contains a large labyrinth-like neon garden, with tall hedges lit with neon lights creating tunnels and walls to open-air spaces.
Churro cart[]
Puffed Pastry operates a cart selling star-crusted, cinnamon-dipped churros at the festival. Pinkie Pie accidentally knocking over the cart gets her and Sunset kicked out of the festival in several time loops. The churros are later revealed to be very tough to bite.
Food Trucks[]
The festival has an area for several food trucks including "Weak in the Cheese", "Avocados Constant", "Money for Waffles", "Chicken's Not for Free Either", "Lasagna Pop", "Bye Focaccia", "Wrapsolutely", "Tapas o' the Morning", "Forgive and Baguette", "Poké Me, Poké You", "Winnie the Pu Pu Platter", "Truck of the Irish", "Truck of the Danish" and "Dough or Dough Not (There is No Coffee)".
Camping area[]
Outside the festival grounds is a camping area for attendees to camp out in between the days of the festival.
Security lines[]
The entrance to the festival contains several security lines, one of which is operated by a particularly meticulous security guard who insists that security is an art that cannot be rushed and kicks out Pinkie and Sunset in several time loops.
