It has become increasingly clear that change in the music and festival industry does not come from a single source—it is a shared responsibility to support artists' careers and well-being, the future of our planet, and greater diversity and equality.
In this talk, we will explore how, from the artists’ perspective, festival organizers, venues, record labels, and others carry a huge responsibility, but also how artists themselves have a platform from which they can drive change. In Sweden, Climate Live has been working on how artists can use their platform for activism and will share concrete examples of how artists and their fanbases can put the climate crisis on the agenda through music.
Speakers: Louise Lindén, Sustainable Festival Expert, LiveGreen // Andreas Magnusson, Project Manager, Climate Live / LiveGreen
These sessions are part of the theme block Let's Talk Live Entertainment.
The sessions will be conducted in English.
Presented by The project ‘Music and Music Festivals as Change Drivers’ in collaboration with Promus & SPOT+.
Background on the project "Music and Music Festivals as Change Drivers"
Together with a large group of Danish and international partners, Roskilde Festival Group has launched a project: Music & Music Festivals as Change Drivers. In essence, the project aims to engage Danish and international music festivals and live organizers in conversations about the potential and responsibility of using music, musicians, and the festival's unique community space as catalysts for change within themes such as sustainability, social inclusion, and mental health. The project will unfold over two years (2024-2025) in Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
