Festivals are not only places of entertainment, but also
platforms that can drive significant change. In this panel, we
will discuss how festivals can play a key role in promoting a
more sustainable future. Together with Danish and international
partners, Roskilde Festival Group has launched the project Music
& Music Festivals as Change Drivers, which aims to use music
festivals as catalysts for issues such as sustainability, social
inclusion and mental health. This project will take place over
the next two years in Denmark, Germany, the UK and the USA. At
the Future of Festivals 2024, we will share insights into
Roskilde Festival's successful partnerships, such as the
collaboration with Danish energy company Andel to drive the
transition from fossil fuels to electricity. The discussion will
be moderated by Emma Sjørvad (Roskilde Festival), who will share
the challenges and successes of implementing sustainable energy
practices. Henriette Weber (Andel Holding) will give her
perspective on the importance of partnerships for the green
transformation, while Mathias Irminger Sonne (Danish Embassy
Berlin) will put the conversation into a broader societal
context. Afterwards, Greener Power Solutions will present their
battery solutions that are already in use at Roskilde Festival.
