As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the passionate, pulsating beats of Massive Attack and other pioneering artists, I wholeheartedly applaud Robert Del Naja’s bold initiative to take action against climate change within the music industry. His dedication to making a difference is truly inspiring, especially when considering the massive impact such events can have on our environment.
Musician Robert Del Naja from Massive Attack believes it’s high time for the music industry to take action and tackle its poor track record regarding climate change.
On Sunday, the band’s hometown concert in Bristol, known as Act 1.5, gets its name from the UN climate treaty aiming for a 1.5-degree Celsius global warming limit. Notably, this event will be completely fueled by renewable energy sources, making it the lowest-carbon show of its kind ever held.
Approximately 30,000 people are planning to show up for the one-day music event, with special guest performances anticipated from US rap artist Killer Mike, the Irish folk band Lankum (who were nominated for the Mercury Prize), and the versatile actress-musician Samantha Morton who has been Oscar-nominated.
According to Robert Del Naja, lead singer of Massive Attack, some individuals seem to believe that the primary role of their industry is to inform people about the global climate crisis, even though it’s one of the most frequently discussed topics worldwide.
He continued: “We don’t need to talk about it – we need to act on it.”
Although the band aims for the performance to seem like an ordinary concert to many attendees, there will be several distinct characteristics that set it apart.
All the food will be vegan, the loos compostable and, instead of having diesel generators, the stage and stalls will be hooked up to (electric) vans containing large batteries.
In the meantime, you won’t find a parking lot here. Instead, we encourage you to walk, bike, or use public transportation. We also offer free electric shuttle buses that run to and from Bristol’s two major train stations.
Apart from Massive Attack, it’s not just Coldplay who are taking action. In fact, back in June, they declared that they had reduced the carbon footprint of their last world tour by a significant 59% through some innovative strategies. Examples of these strategies include kinetic dance floors and bicycles designed to generate electricity, among other methods.
