In examining current UK live music practices specifically, Tyndall analysts identified “the need for an urgent and significant reassembly of practices in the sector” and that despite some good work and efforts “progress must be rapidly accelerated and substantial shifts in industry practice are needed.” As a band of thirty years touring history, we agree with both conclusions.īut primarily, we feel the Tyndall roadmap presents all in the live music sector with a range of opportunities to innovate and lead the field in combating the climate emergency.īlending report recommendations into all future live performance planning will now allow us to experiment with innovative technologies, and to develop further unique relationships with Local Authorities, promotors, venues, system designers and transport and power providers to create new production models, to share as open resources with live music operations of any size or scale. How live music stakeholders and the industry as a whole embrace climate action is a part of this global response.” “Only a material and fundamental shift in practices and technology globally can prevent catastrophic climate change. ![]() Given the unique profile, reach and emotional resonance of our art form, it’s crucial that live events lead the way in these urgent developments, and that as a sector overall our actions match our words. In relation to the roadmap overall, we’re pleased that the UK music industry now has a comprehensive, independent, and scientifically produced formula to facilitate its own compatibility with the Paris/1.5 degrees climate targets. We’re also excited to be working with industrialist Dale Vince and Ecotricity to design bespoke convergence partnerships with a variety of music arenas and venues – so we can create far greater renewable energy capacity for the UK grid, help train event staff to run and generate sustainable operations, and to introduce vegan food options in front and back of house set ups. + MASSIVE ATTACK PUBLISH TYNDALL CENTRE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH LIVE MUSIC ROADMAP +įollowing an extremely difficult & frustrating period for live music during the COVID19 pandemic, Massive Attack are now pleased to publish and offer as an open resource to our industry the Roadmap to Super Low Carbon Live Music, commissioned by the band & produced by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research – a specialist body that brings together scientists, engineers, economists, and social scientists to accelerate society’s transition to a sustainable low carbon future and avert climate catastrophe.Īs an immediate response to this substantive exploration, we’ve designed 6 major emissions reduction modules for our 2022 tour, to trial implementation, carry out modelling on interactive practicalities and transferabilities, and to then bring all project learning together in a major UK testbed show to proliferate change.
