ADE Green program complete for 30 YEARS ADE
As environmental and social challenges continue to reshape the world around us, the music industry has its own questions to address. ADE Green brings together perspectives on climate impact, community and the structures behind our industry, creating space to explore what can change and where music can make a difference.
Explore the full ADE Green program here, accessible only with an ADE Pro Pass. See the additions to our program below:
Why Humans Still Need Dance Floors
In an era of loneliness, polarisation and digital connection, what is the role of the dance floor? Artists, clubs, researchers and community builders discuss the social value of the dance floor and its role in fostering well-being, community and social cohesion.
The Road to Low Impact Touring
Can battery tech, slow touring and artists pushing the boundaries of what’s possible help lower the industry's carbon footprint? Jasper Goossens (Showpower), Chloe Gatignol (Courts Circuits) and Jamal Chalabi (Backlash Productions) explore what is needed to shift towards lower-impact touring practices.
Funding Under Fire: How Scenes Survive When Systems Fail You
As public funding and traditional revenue streams come under pressure, music scenes are finding new ways to sustain their communities. With perspectives from Kyiv, Ramallah and Beirut, this panel explores community-driven fundraising, cultural preservation and the role music spaces can play during periods of crisis.
Prepared? How the Coming Super El Niño Will Affect You
Extreme weather is becoming a more frequent challenge for festivals and events. With a super El Niño on the horizon, understanding how changing conditions could affect your event is more important than ever. Find out how you, your event or your artists can prepare and put countermeasures in place.
Music for Change: Building a More Equitable and Sustainable Industry
Bridges for Music, In Place of War, Tectroit and She Said So come together to explore how music can drive environmental action, gender equity, social justice and community development, and what lasting change looks like in practice.
