As UN Climate Champions, Massive Attack are pioneering genuinely clean, green live music events, and their Bristol Downs homecoming show on 25th August is set to be the lowest carbon emissions show of its size ever held!
Mindful of the fact that up to 80% of emissions for major live shows come from audience transport, and private car use creating 9 times more carbon than travelling by rail, the band have teamed up with Train Hugger to make the following exclusive offer for fans travelling outside of Bristol on 25th August:
+ purchase of a rail ticket for travel outside of Bristol = a wristband for show day VIP bar and toilets
+ wristband = free post show travel via e-bus travel to rail station
+ 5x post show "show special" trains made made available by GWR - departing Bristol from 23.30
+ each rail ticket - creation of new climate resilient woodland in the south west
By taking part in this experiment, Massive Attack fans will create a climate resilient woodland of 19,150 native oak trees in James Wood, near Taunton, approx 40 miles from Bristol. The land comprises 85 acres of former farmland and unmanaged woodland and provides education, carbon capture, flood resilience and a rich area of biodiversity
