Massive Attack pulled off the biggest low-carbon gig yet seen in the UK on Sunday when they played in front of 30,000 fans on Bristol’s Downs at the Act 1.5 Climate Action Accelerator.
If not net zero, then it was as close as any outdoor show has got to that figure thus far. The band had put in a whole range of measures for the show’s production: there were no car parks for private vehicles, additional train services had been laid on, all on-site food was from plant-based sources, there was a reusable cup system, compost toilets and the festival was powered by 100% renewable energy.
