To achieve this, Massive Attack has implemented a range of innovative measures. The concert will be powered entirely by renewable energy sources, with solar panels and wind turbines providing the necessary electricity. The stage and lighting equipment will be energy-efficient, utilising the latest technology to minimise energy consumption.

Transportation to and from the event will also be environmentally friendly. Massive Attack has partnered with Train Hugger, a company that promotes sustainable travel, to offer discounted train tickets to concert-goers. Additionally, the band has collaborated with Ecotricity, a green energy supplier, to provide electric vehicle charging stations at the venue.

In terms of waste management, the Act 1.5 event will prioritise recycling and composting. Attendees will be encouraged to bring reusable water bottles and food containers, and there will be designated areas for waste separation. The concert organizers have also committed to offsetting the carbon emissions associated with the event through various initiatives, such as tree planting and investment in renewable energy projects.

Furthermore, the Act 1.5 event will serve as a platform for education and engagement. Massive Attack has invited climate scientists and experts from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research to give talks and presentations on the urgency of climate action. There will also be interactive exhibits and workshops where attendees can learn about sustainable practices and how to reduce their carbon footprint.

By organizing Act 1.5, Massive Attack aims to set a new standard for environmentally friendly live music events. They hope that their efforts will inspire other artists and event organizers to prioritize sustainability and take meaningful action to combat climate change. Through their music and activism, Massive Attack continues to use their platform to drive positive change and create a more sustainable future.

Massive attack have used their social media platform to support their work but more importantly the causes they stand by and stand up for. Most recently they posted a copy of a letter that was addressed to the President from the band, to which they highlighted, what they believed to be a responsibility of the international community to end this crisis. It read,
“The international community has a responsibility to use all its influence to prevent further escalation and end this crisis. I urge the members of the Security Council  to press to advert a humanitarian catastrophe. I reiterate my appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared. This is urgent. The civilian population must be spared from greater harm. With an humanitarian ceasefire the means of survival can be restored and humanitarian assistance can be delivered in a safe and timely manner across the Gaza Strip.”

Artist for Action to Prevent Gun Violence, is said not to be a political stand, but rather to encourage America’s to volunteer and vote to eradicate gun violence in the US. With over 470 mass shootings in 2023 already, their voices will be needed more than ever.

Peter Gabriel said in an interview “This needs to stop. So many needless deaths. So much needless suffering. It just needs a little common sense.”

Behind the voices of Artists for Action is the founder Mark Barden. Whose son was tragically and fatally wounded in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012. As a former professional guitarist himself, he put it all on hold, to dedicate his time to preventing gun violence in the US.

Mark launches the series of united and passionate artist, with it’s first event taking place in New York on September 22nd. Presented by AFA (Artists for Artists) who are known for their support and advocacy in social impact events.

Our platform makes it easy for artists to activate their fans in taking 3 simple steps to prevent gun violence – Volunteer, Donate, Vote. Artist For Action To Prevent Gun Violence is a non-political movement that has come together as one to help prevent future tragedies. We must act now!”

No further dates have been listed as of yet and currently Peter Gabriel is touring in Canada and the US promoting his latest album in 7 years called i/o, which began in May 2023. 

Peter Gabriel has a profound and unique empathy that he communicates through his music and lyrics. His voice will be a invaluable against the prevention of gun violence, due to his knowledge and understanding of the world around him. And that is clearly demonstrated when hearing Peter describe the meaning behind the songs on his new album and the deeper mindset that we must adapt and move forward.
