The impacts of live events on climate disruption
Spoiler: cars, cars, cars

"A recent global analysis of more than 2,000 mass gatherings disrupted by extreme weather between 2004 and 2024 across several high-income countries around the world found that arts, cultural and entertainment events – particularly festivals and concerts – were among those most frequently affected by climate change."

"Storms, heat and other climate-related disruptions are already altering event timing and financial viability across countries including Australia, the UK and the United States."

"In other words, the live events industry is not only contributing to climate emissions; it is increasingly exposed to their consequences."

"Efforts to reduce the emissions footprint of large events and concerts should become an core part of the broader adaptation challenges facing the events industry. Its very existence depends on stable environmental and climate conditions." >>

Climate breakdown and car dependency put an end to commercial drive-in music activities

A “report found 85% of festivalgoers had been affected by either floods, storms, heatwaves or the threat of bushfires at an event they had attended in the past 12 months.”

The “Splendour in the Mud” festival left tens of thousands of motorists bogged and stranded in torrential rain. Extreme heat from greenhouse gas emission is also eliminating the ‘drive-in’ model for outdoor mass gatherings.
