Description
Every year, We Love Green invites wild and exciting artists who draw the music of our time. An eclectic program that crosses the bridges between indie and electro. A French scene does not lack lights (Christine & The Queens, Camille) and a window on the new pop rock guard. But above all, a great desire for diversity in all forms of hip-hop: from the first festival of PNL to the coronation of Action Bronson, and incredible performances of the new jewels Anderson .Paak or Damso.
We’re driven to making a festival whereby today’s environmental issues lie at the heart. When creating and conceiving the plan for such an ephemeral event, we start from scratch, asking ourselves the key question: “What resources do we have at hand, and what can we do with them?” Via the festivities of We Love Green, our aim is to raise the public’s awareness of certain issues, we’re hoping to have an impact that changes peoples’ habits, and be part of a necessary movement towards change that everyone can take part in.
Not only do we coordinate cultural events, but with the help from our industry-insiders and artist collaborators, we also play an educational role. We hope that via music, we can spread economical, social and solidarity values – values that are music to your ears!
On behalf of the music, We Love Green offers:
- A Think Tank stage, which is an idea lab, located right in the heart of the festival. Its aim is to promote environmental innovation and encourage the exchange of ideas, as well as raising awareness of the biggest ecological issues around, to help us better understand our ever-changing world.
- A Startup Incubator, bringing together pioneering organisations and businesses from different areas such as green tech, circular economy, sustainable food production and agriculture, ethical fashion and design… to raise awareness and allow new changemakers to be heard.
- A Residence Workshop, inviting the next generation of recently qualified designers and design students to apply. Not only do we finance all production costs and the ownership of the work remains with the artists, but the festival also advises and provides guidance to the designers, helping them source recycled materials for their projects that will decorate the festival.
- The best gastronomical experience possible in terms of quality and diversity, while keeping in line with our eco-friendly commitments which underlie the festival’s beliefs with organic and regional (Locavore) produce, ensuring 100% product traceability, and also in using donated, unsold produce.
From the artistic line-up to our innovative, eco-friendly scenography, the whole We Love Green package is in keeping with our green commitments which underlie the festival’s beliefs, and we’re always on the lookout for new ways of working and evolving. Being and doing We Love Green is just the beginning of our mission!
So now it’s up to you guys!
