Bristol Festival Goes Green: 50,000 Enjoy Music Under Solar Skies
24 May
Summary
- 50,000 attendees gathered for the music festival.
- The festival featured local and international headliners.
- Solar power was used to energize the main stage for the first time.
The Love Saves The Day festival in Bristol drew a crowd of 50,000 music enthusiasts to Ashton Court for a weekend filled with performances. This year's event featured both local talent and international stars, with notable headliners such as rapper Eve, Sammy Virji, and Rizzle Kicks gracing the seven stages.
Organizers prioritized attendee comfort during the hot weather, with temperatures reaching 27C, by distributing sun lotion and water. A significant sustainability initiative saw the main stage powered by solar energy for the first time, a move festival director Tom Paine described as more reliable and responsible.
The festival's lineup also included English DJ Sub Focus, who performed on Saturday night. Attendees enjoyed extended hours, with gates open from 12:00 BST and last entry at 20:00 BST. Transportation options were available, with buses running until midnight or until all attendees had departed.
