Last month, in collaboration with the Australian Festival Association, we hosted the 5th Party With The Planet roundtable. Themed “Building a Pathway to Climate Resilient Festivals” the event saw representatives from the festival community, industry bodies and government join both online and in person on Gadigal Country ☀️ The insights and perspectives shared from participants were collated into a discussion paper which was submitted to the ‘Parliamentary Inquiry into the Challenges and Opportunities Within the Australian Live Music Industry’, and will be used to further the research of adaptation solutions for Aussie music festivals.
