Lime Cordiale Unveils Climate-Focused Festival Amid Growing Environmental Concerns.

In a bid to promote sustainability in the music industry, Australian indie rockers Lime Cordiale have announced their inaugural festival, Lime Green Festival, set to take place on April 18 at Point Malcolm Reserve in Semaphore, Adelaide. The one-day off-grid event aims to minimize its environmental footprint while promoting climate action and regenerative practices.

Partnered with Chugg Music and supported by the South Australian Government and City of Charles Sturt, the festival is designed as a community-driven platform featuring live performances alongside talks, workshops, and interactive activations focused on sustainable living. The main stage will be powered off-grid through a partnership with Aggreko, utilizing industrial-scale mobile batteries backed by vegetable-oil generators.

The event has been developed in response to Lime Cordiale's years-long questioning of the environmental impact of touring and live events. According to the brothers, Oli and Louis Leimbach, "our climate is at a breaking point" due to accelerating loss of polar ice and devastating algal blooms on their home coastline. They added that instead of stopping touring, they aimed to change how it is done.

Lime Green Festival incorporates several eco-friendly initiatives, including eliminating single-use plastics, prioritizing re-use systems, offering renewable catering solutions, and promoting low-emission transport options for attendees. Food and beverage vendors will be curated to prioritize local, organic, and carbon-neutral operators, with surplus food donated to charities and free drinking water available on site.

The festival's line-up is set to feature Lime Cordiale alongside The Dreggs, aleksiah, PASH, and an additional slot reserved for a triple j Unearthed winner. Emerging local artists will also have opportunities through partnerships with the City of Charles Sturt and the band directly.

A portion of ticket sales will support the Solar Slice initiative, directed by FEAT, which allocates $1 from every ticket towards climate and nature-based projects. Funds raised will aid in a South Australian community-led response to the ongoing algal bloom affecting the state's coastline.

South Australian Minister for Tourism Zoe Bettison described Lime Green Festival as "a significant step forward for the arts industry and our planet," while Minister for Climate, Environment, and Water Lucy Hood stated that it aligns with the state's leadership in renewable energy and support for coastal communities. Oli and Louis Leimbach see their festival as an evolving experiment rather than a finished solution, inviting attendees to join them on this journey.

Presale tickets for Lime Green Festival will go on sale at 9 a.m. AEDT on January 21, with general tickets available from 9 a.m. AEDT on January 23. The event is licensed and all-ages.
 
omg I cant wait for lime green festival 🤩 its like finally someone in the music industry is taking action on climate change 🌎 instead of just talking about it. i mean weve seen so many festivals go off grid but this one actually has some real initiative behind it - powereds by industrial scale batteries and veggie oil generators, that's wild! 🤯

but seriously tho, its awesome to see lime cordiale taking a stand on this stuff. theyre not just gonna stop touring cuz of the environment, no way, they wanna change how its done instead 💪 and supporting local organic food vendors is such a great move too 🍴

i also love that a portion of ticket sales will go towards climate projects - like literally putting money where their mouth is 💸 and supporting the solar slice initiative sounds amazing 🌞
 
🤔 I'm kinda stoked to see artists taking action like Lime Cordiale here, their festival's got some sweet eco-friendly vibes going on 🌿. Off-grid power from industrial-scale mobile batteries powered by veg-oil generators? That's innovation! But what really gets me is how they're using the event as a platform for talks, workshops, and activations focused on sustainable living. It's not just about the music, it's about sparking some meaningful conversations 📢. Of course, there's always room for improvement, but I think Lime Green Festival is off to a great start 🎉. Fingers crossed it sets a new standard for festivals everywhere!
 
omg i'm so hyped about this festival 🤩! its amazing to see artists taking initiative in reducing their environmental impact, especially when it comes to touring and live events. like, lime cordiale is literally walking the walk (or should i say, the off-grid stage) 😂. the fact that they're powering the main stage with veggie oil generators is genius 🌱!

and i love how the festival is supporting local & organic vendors - it's all about community-driven sustainability here 🌿. i'm definitely getting my tickets for this event and hopefully it inspires more artists to follow in lime cordiale's eco-friendly footsteps 💚
 
🤔 Finally, some Aussie bands are getting the memo about climate change 🌎... like, 10 years late to the party 😅. Lime Cordiale's festival is actually pretty cool tho - who wouldn't want an off-grid festival with vegan catering and sustainable merch? 🛍️ The veg-oil generators are a nice touch too 💡. I'm all for reducing waste and promoting regenerative practices, but I hope they don't turn the whole event into some hippie haven 🌿... we need more accessibility options for people on the go! 👍
 
I'm loving the idea of an eco-friendly music festival! 🌳💚 It's about time we make some changes in the music industry and set a good example for others to follow. I mean, think about it, if the bands are doing their part to reduce waste and carbon emissions, then that's got to have a positive impact on our planet, right?

I'm also super excited about the lineup - I've heard great things about Lime Cordiale and The Dreggs, and it's awesome to see emerging local artists getting a chance to shine. And the fact that they're supporting charities and donating surplus food is just amazing... what a win-win! 🎉

As someone who loves music but isn't exactly a green-thumbed expert, I have to ask - how do they plan on keeping all the festival-goers hydrated? I mean, free drinking water sounds lovely, but are there going to be any eco-friendly options for people with specific hydration needs (like sports drinks or electrolyte-rich beverages)? Just wondering... 💦
 
just saw the news about Lime Cordiale's climate-focused festival 🌿🎶 cant say I'm surprised they're doing this tho, their whole vibe has been super eco-friendly from the start - like, have you seen their merch? made from recycled materials 💚 anyway, i think its awesome that they're taking action and making it a community-driven thing... sounds like they're really committed to minimizing waste and promoting regenerative practices 🌸👍
 
OMG 🤯 this Lime Green Festival is literally the coolest thing I've seen in ages! 🌿 They're not just stopping at one festival, they're creating a movement towards sustainability in the music industry. It's awesome to see Oli and Louis Leimbach taking action after years of questioning the environmental impact of touring.

I love that they're incorporating so many eco-friendly initiatives, like powering the main stage off-grid and using industrial-scale mobile batteries backed by veggie oil generators 🌱. And, of course, the curated food and drink vendors will be prioritizing local, organic, and carbon-neutral operators - that's just genius! 💡

It's also really great to see emerging local artists getting a chance to shine through partnerships with the City of Charles Sturt and Lime Cordiale directly 🎤. And, can we talk about the Solar Slice initiative? Allocating $1 from every ticket towards climate and nature-based projects is literally game-changing 🌟.

I'm definitely going to be checking out this festival when it happens - can't wait to join Oli and Louis on this journey towards sustainability! 💖
 
i think its kinda cool that lime cordiale is tryin to make a difference w/ their festival... but are they really changin the game or just gettin attention for it? i mean, off-grid power might not be that revolutionary, and using veggie oil generators could have some major carbon footprints of its own 🤔. also, what about the logistics of makin travel to the event sustainable? can we really expect people to leave their cars behind and take the bus or train? and lets not forget, some eco-friendly initiatives are just a marketing gimmick... is it just greenwashed hype?
 
OMG 🤯 I'm so stoked to hear about Lime Green Festival! It's like, finally some people are taking sustainability seriously in the music industry 🌎💚. I mean, I remember when My Chemical Romance used to have these massive tours and they would just leave a trail of destruction everywhere 😱. But now, it's all about being eco-friendly and reducing waste 💔. I love that Lime Cordiale is leading the way with their festival and making a difference in small but significant ways 🌟. And can we talk about how cool it is to have an off-grid main stage powered by industrial-scale mobile batteries and vegetable oil generators? 🤪 It's like, who needs fossil fuels when you've got veggie oil, right? 😂
 
omg im so hyped about this 🤩 lime cordiale is doing such amazing things for the environment they should totally get a gold medal or something for making this festival happen 💚 i love how they're not just stopping touring but actually trying to make it more sustainable that's what we need more of in the music industry - people who care 💖 and btw, that solar slice initiative sounds like a great way to support climate projects we should all be supporting that kinda thing 🌟
 
OMG, I'm totally stoked about this festival! It's like, they're taking huge steps to make the music industry more sustainable 🌿💚. I mean, who wouldn't want to see their favorite artists perform while also supporting a cause? The fact that they're using off-grid power and reducing single-use plastics is just amazing 🤩. And the talks and workshops are going to be so valuable - I'm definitely down for learning more about sustainable living 💡.

But what really gets me is that Lime Cordiale isn't just stopping at promoting sustainability, they're actually trying to change the way the industry works 🔄. They're not giving up on touring, they're just finding new ways to do it in a more eco-friendly way. That's so inspiring! I hope more artists will follow their lead and make a difference too 💖.

I'm already counting down till January 21 when presale tickets go on sale 🎉. Can't wait to see the lineup and experience this amazing festival for myself!
 
I'm not convinced by this whole off-grid thingy... I mean, it's cool that they're trying to reduce their environmental impact, but are we really sure it's possible to power an entire festival with veggie oil generators? 🤔 And what about the carbon footprint of all those people traveling to and from Adelaide just for one day? It's a nice gesture, but I think it's a drop in the ocean. Plus, have they thought about what happens when the event is over? Are they planning on dismantling everything or leaving it all behind like a big ol' environmental ghost town? 🌪️
 
🌿 I'm loving this idea of an eco-friendly festival! 🎶 Lime Cordiale is totally on the right track by making sustainability a main focus.

Here's a simple mind map:
Climate Action
|
---> Touring & Live Events
|
---> Offset emissions, reduce waste
+--> Use renewable energy (industrial-scale mobile batteries)
+--> Encourage carpooling & public transport 🚗💨

The festival's commitment to local, organic food and drink options is also a great idea! 🍴🌿 I'd love to see more initiatives like this at future festivals.

It's awesome that a portion of ticket sales will support the Solar Slice initiative. Every little bit counts, right? 💚 The festival's focus on community engagement and collaboration with local organizations is also super inspiring.

Let's keep making music for a better planet! 🌎🎸
