“Festivals are being cancelled due to extreme weather, and grassroots venues are grappling with rising energy costs”: Brian Eno and others urge government to cancel new North Sea oilfield

Brian Eno.

Over 100 UK-based artists, including Brian Eno, Bicep and Confidence Man, have signed an open letter calling on the government to pull the plug on the proposed Rosebank oil field development.

The letter was penned by Eno in his role as part of Earth Per Cent, a pressure group from within the music industry that aims to address music’s carbon footprint. They ask the government to “assess the full climate damage from potential new developments”.
