Lime Cordiale's Green Music Fest Goes Off-Grid
19 Jan
Summary
- Lime Cordiale launches an off-grid festival to reduce music event environmental impact.
- The inaugural Lime Green Festival will feature music, talks, and workshops.
- Ticket sales will fund community-led climate projects in South Australia.
Australian band Lime Cordiale is pioneering a new approach to live music with the Lime Green Festival, an inaugural one-day event focused entirely on environmental sustainability. Scheduled for April 18 at Point Malcolm Reserve in Semaphore, Adelaide, the festival is designed to operate completely off-grid, drastically minimizing its ecological footprint.
The initiative stems from the band's long-standing concern about the environmental impact of touring. Lime Green Festival will integrate live music with educational components, including talks and workshops centered on climate innovation and regenerative practices. This unique event aims to explore how festivals can become more sustainable, particularly in coastal settings.
To achieve its eco-friendly goals, the festival will utilize industrial-scale mobile batteries and vegetable-oil generators for power, eliminate single-use plastics, and promote local, organic, and carbon-neutral food vendors. Additionally, $1 from every ticket sold will contribute to community-led climate and nature-based projects, specifically addressing the algal bloom affecting the South Australian coast.
