We now drive affordable electric vehicles to festivals, where we scan in wirelessly, and have access to the line-ups and site plans – as well as all the world’s infomation – in the palm of our hands. An ordinary person’s life in 2020 is something a billionaire in the 80s would’ve given up their fortune to have. The products that serve our industry now reflect the responsibility we’ve taken on to change the planet for the good, and supply chains have been improved by rampant competition to make these accessible. Your festival, then, can now tick all the CSR requirements, and still provide people with the pinnacle of fun. We hope you enjoy our Access Files this year, and find inspiration as you piece together your festival jigsaw for 2020.
