Today, the festivals have also announced their partnership with No Music On A Dead Planet, with the organisers confirming that they'll be funding a new research project within Music Declares Emergency, which aims 'to drive grid connections to UK festivals and begin the transition of the UK outdoor live sector to grid power. Such a transition will ultimately reduce carbon emissions for the sector in relation to temporary power generation.' Great stuff all-round.
