The live music industry is booming. With global growth in
concerts and festivals, more and more of us are enjoying our

and fans to see them. This is causing emissions to soar just like
the private jets. So what can be done? Jordan Dunbar discovers
the problem isn’t coming from who you might think and that this
could be a climate opportunity rather than a problem.
