2013
The festival is growing

We moved to Hoglands Park, central Karlskrona! The festival grows from being a one day event to two days, from approx. 1000 visitors to tenfold. Miriam Bryant, Rebecca & Fiona, Stefan Sundström and Little Jinder are some of the artists who will perform on the LiveGreen stage over the years.

2015
We gather our knowledge in a guide for sustainable events

“Stageplots, Setlists & Saving the World” – a guide for organizers who want to minimize their carbon footprint and maximize their positive impact is launched. The book has been used by more than 2,000 leaders, event planners and artists since then.

Hi, Kristianstad!
Bye, Karlskrona!

During the same year, the festival in Karlskrona was canceled – in protest to unsustainable and unequal rights in the municipality.

2020
Digital academy and VR festival

Innovation is born from crisis! The corona pandemic forced us to rethink, find new ways to create experiences and help the industry in both crisis management and sustainable transition. Among other things, we started to develop the VR platform Festivalplaneten.

We organize Sweden’s largest climate concert to date – Climate Live
