A unique and distinctive part of our industry, facing its own particular obstacles and market shifts post-pandemic, festivals in addition to providing joyous occasions are also key sites of innovation and reform across issues such as sustainability, safety and accessibility.
LIVE’s role in this space is to facilitate collaboration between a wide range of festival operators and practitioners, from volunteer-run grassroots events to high-profile household names. As well as profiling the strongest initiatives in sustainability, mental health, and accessibility at festivals, our bi-monthly meetings are a chance to map our advocacy asks and strategy in the face of rising supply chain costs which threaten to outweigh a loyal consumer base with squeezed spending power.
