The sound of sustainability: Why many concerts and festivals aren't as 'green' as they claim
Every summer, Ireland's fields erupt with music, dancing, and fashion choices that only make sense in a muddy field at 2am. From the electric energy of Electric Picnic to the laid-back buzz of All Together Now, festivals are the heartbeat of the Irish summer. Globally, music festivals attract millions, but alongside the unforgettable moments, they leave a hefty environmental footprint. Waste, diesel generators, long-haul artist flights, and car-clogged access routes all contribute to a high-carbon affair. As climate awareness grows, more festivals are touting their green credentials. But are these efforts real progress, or just a fresh coat of eco-paint? Behind the curtain Festivals may be fleeting, but their impacts aren't. Electric Picnic, Ireland's largest festival, draws more than 70,000 attendees. That's a lot of tent pegs, tinnies, and toilets. Coachella in the US produces more than 1,600 tonnes of waste annually but recycles just 20%. Across Europe, 30–80% of tents are abandoned after festivals. In Ireland, we face similar issues: fields strewn with tents, cans, and food packaging, creating a post-party wasteland. Globally, festivals generate around 5 kg of CO₂ per person per day, and transportation accounts for up to 80% of a festival's carbon emissions, mainly from car travel and international flights. In response, many festivals have rolled out sustainability measures, from plastic bans to composting, but not all green gestures carry equal weight. Greenwashed or actually green? Greenwashing is common in the festival world. Bold declarations of 'eco-friendly' or 'sustainable' often lack data or transparency. Tomorrowland is a good example. While it hosts sustainability panels, it largely ignores its biggest impact, transport emissions, which are 11 times greater than those from waste. Small changes, like replacing plastic cutlery or offering vegan burgers, make headlines but barely dent emissions. That said, some progress is worth highlighting. In 2024, Electric Picnic connected its main stage to the national electricity grid, making it the first big Irish festival to power a main stage using 100% renewable energy. That's a solid move away from fossil fuels. However, diesel generators are still used elsewhere on-site. To mitigate this, the festival has introduced biodiesel made from waste vegetable oil for many of its generators. Biodiesel produces fewer harmful emissions than conventional diesel, up to 60% less carbon monoxide and 50% less particulate matter, but it's not without controversy. While biodiesel may reduce local air pollutants, its overall climate benefit is debated. Questions remain about land use, energy-intensive production processes, and the limited availability of truly waste-derived feedstocks. Biodiesel can be a transitional tool, but it's not a silver bullet, and relying on it risks delaying a full shift to cleaner, grid-connected or renewable sources. Carbon offsetting, meanwhile, is sometimes presented as a magical fix. But offsets, often in the form of tree-planting or energy projects, don't erase emissions at source. They're helpful if done correctly, but not a substitute for actual reductions. Perhaps most worrying is the lack of transparency. Globally, only about 20% of festivals calculate and share their carbon footprint. Electric Picnic has begun assessing its emissions and setting targets under the Green Nation Charter, aiming for a 50% carbon reduction by 2030. But smaller events rarely have the resources to report detailed data. Without that transparency, it's hard for festival-goers to distinguish real action from green spin. International festivals getting it right Britain's Green Gathering is fully solar-powered. In Spain, more than 80% of Primavera Sound's attendees arrive by bike or public transport. Massive Attack's Act 1.5 concert in 2023 became the first fully solar-powered UK festival Flow Festival in Finland mandates public transport and aligns with Helsinki's 2035 climate goals. Even Burning Man uses gamified recycling, offering points for proper sorting, and diverts 90% of its waste from landfill. Challenges and opportunities It's not easy being green. Festivals are temporary cities with complex logistics and tight budgets. Waste sorting is often undermined by poorly labelled bins or overworked volunteers. Across Europe, 70–80% of festival waste goes unsorted. Still, innovation is bubbling beneath the surface. Some technologies are more about engagement than energy savings — kinetic dance floors, for instance, convert crowd movement into small amounts of electricity. Coldplay trialled them during a world tour, with each tile generating up to 35 watts during intense dancing. Over a full concert, the energy produced was enough to power a coffee machine for a few hours and not exactly grid-displacing, but symbolically powerful. Critics argue that the actual energy contribution is negligible and may not justify the resources used to build and maintain the system. Yet, kinetic floors have value as educational tools, and they're a fun, interactive way to raise awareness about energy use and sustainability. Like recyclable cardboard tents or solar-powered showers, they show that creativity and climate action aren't mutually exclusive, even if the emissions savings are modest. A greener, louder future Festivals are more than just good craic, they're a rite of passage. They bring people together, spark joy, and create lasting memories. But they're also at a crossroads. Greenwashing threatens real progress, especially when core impacts like transport and energy remain untouched. Yet signs of change are emerging. Body & Soul and Kaleidoscope are leading by example. Electric Picnic and Glastonbury show that innovation, transparency, and bold choices can cut emissions without killing the vibe. Ultimately, sustainability at festivals is a shared responsibility. Organisers must prioritise transparency and meaningful action. But attendees also have power — by travelling greener, ditching single-use gear, and supporting festivals with genuine environmental ambition. The music doesn't have to stop. But to keep the beat alive, we'll need to tune in to the planet as well as those sweet summer jams.

The best skin tints for summer 2025: Skincare meets lighter coverage for a fresh, dewy finish
It's that time of year when temperatures rise, the sun hopefully makes a more regular appearance (I hope I'm not jinxing our famously chaotic Irish summers here) and the urge to wear lighter, glowier make-up comes to the fore. Out go the full-coverage foundations and in their place we reach more often for skin tints and tinted moisturisers. I use skin tints year round, not just in summer. Maybe it's an age thing but these days I find myself gravitating towards lighter coverage that still delivers a fresh, dewy finish. I want skin that looks like skin – just a bit more radiant. Here are four standout options for summer, all boasting skincare-loaded formulas, just enough coverage (and in some cases a little more) and, most importantly, a finish that looks like your skin only better. And who doesn't want that? Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint Moisturising Tinted Serum SPF20 Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint (€25 at Boots and First up is Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint. Although it's only been on the market for a few years, it's already nearing cult status. This truly is one of the best skincare-meets-make-up hybrids available, which is why it's a product I recommend again and again. READ MORE Affordable at just €25 and with 20 shades to choose from, HydraTint is a serum-like base that provides just enough coverage to reduce redness and even out skin tone, while its soothing, moisture-boosting formula (ceramides, centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, and more) keeps your skin hydrated and comfortable, both immediately and throughout the day. Poco Beauty Skintuition Complexion Perfecting Foundation SPF50 Poco Beauty Skintuition Foundation (€32 from If you're looking for slightly more coverage but still want a feather-light feel and skincare benefits, look no further than Poco Beauty's Skintuition Complexion Perfecting Foundation (€32 from Poco Beauty) – the second home-grown brand on this list. With a slightly thicker texture, it blends like a cream but feels like a serum on the skin. The coverage is medium and very buildable, and it's available in eight stretchable shades (with more on the way, according to founder Pippa O'Connor). The ingredients list is impressive too: niacinamide, adenosine, and hyaluronic acid – all working together to brighten, hydrate, and improve skin texture over time. Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint (€46 from Space NK) Aside from its lightweight, fluid formula that delivers a glossy, skin-like finish, Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint (€46 from Space NK) is a particularly excellent choice for those prone to redness or sensitivity. Along with moisture-boosting ingredients like glycerine, squalane and hyaluronic acid, it also contains tiger grass – a powerful ingredient known for calming, soothing, and reducing the appearance of inflammation. Available in 12 shades, this tint, like Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint, is a whack-on-and-go serum-like formula – excellent for applying in a hurry with a brush or fingertips. Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tint SPF50 Supergoop! Protect(tint) Daily SPF Tint (€45 from Cult Beauty) One of the newer products on this list, Supergoop! is known for its excellent range of sunscreens designed to suit all skin types and concerns. The most recent addition to their line-up is the excellent Protect(tint) Daily SPF Tint (€45 from Cult Beauty). This is for you if you prefer more of a wash of colour (and still pretty decent coverage) combined with high-factor broad-spectrum SPF protection. Available in 14 shades, it's a clever hybrid formulation containing both chemical and mineral UV filters, along with hyaluronic-acid-infused clay that absorbs oil while keeping skin hydrated, and ectoin – a powerful amino acid that protects the skin barrier and helps reduce inflammation. This week I'm loving … Lush Seanik Shampoo Bar Lush Cosmetics Seanik Shampoo Bar (€12 from Lush) In July this year, Lush Cosmetics celebrates its 30th birthday – and its 25th year since opening a store in Ireland. To celebrate, I reintroduced myself to one of my all-time favourite Lush products: Seanik Shampoo Bar (€12 from Lush). Made with sea salt and Irish moss seaweed, it delivers bouncy, shiny hair that feels squeaky clean. The bar lasts for what feels like several hundred washes.
