Banding on Z9

Hi,

I've read about the risk of banding showing up in photos, but I seem to remember that this only happens at slow shutter speeds.

I'm currently editing my photos of a live concert by Swedisch guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen and noticed (what I believe to be) banding in some of my photos.

Below you see an unedited RAW photo exported from Lightroom to JPEG at a resolution of 2000 x 3000 pixels. On the photo above and around the head of the guitarist you can clearly see the banding in de red background.

Nikon Z 9 with Z 70-200mm S @ 99mm - ISO1800 - f/2.8 - 1/320s

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Or is there a clever way to get rid of this in post-processing?

Or is this just one of the disadvantages of a shutterless camera?
