| Music Festival Lancaster has a truly phenomenal music scene for such a small city Young bands such as Tantrum and How's My Pop play the major festival circuit yet still can be found playing at the John O'Gaunt on Market Street on a Wednesday night. More seasoned musicans travelling the national jazz, blues and folks circuit often stop by the Gregson Centre while the Yorkshire House is nationally recognised as a NW mecca for indie and hardcore bands. One Planet Festival has teamed up with CME Artist Services, a music booking agency based in Lancaster and Sonicbids, an online promotion company based in Boston, USA to book local and international acts for the weekend during the Festival. Acts will make their way to Lancaster either on public transport (full backline is provided by CMEAS) or through conveyances propelled by carbon neutral means (e.g. vehicles running on recycled vegetable oil). Electricity for semi-acoustic acts will be provided by pedal powered generators while electric bands will be through sustainable electricity companies such as Ecotricity or waste vegetable oil powered generators.
