Massive Attack and scientists looking out for ways for environmentally friendly gigs

Massive Attack have approached scientists from the University of Manchester to create a blueprint to help bands and pop stars to perform live and tour the world without contributing to climate change. The findings will be shared with musicians from across the industry and, it's hoped, will inspire millions of fans to live more sustainably. Researchers will look at how to reduce the amount of energy used during concerts and in moving musicians, crews and sets between different venues and cities, as well as the impact audiences have. Also, they'll be looking at where switches can be made to renewable energy sources, how to reduce the amount of energy being consumed but also thinking about how touring could be different.
