Music Declares Emergency have launched a new ‘Hope Over Fear’ t-shirt campaign with IDLES, Yard Act, Enter Shikari, Maisie Peters, jasmine 4.t and many more artists.
In support of their ‘No Music On A Dead Planet’ campaign to establish regional climate hubs across the UK, a host of acts including Sleaford Mods, The Pogues, Editors, Declan McKenna and more will join with the charity to promote the launch by wearing one of three campaign t-shirts and “sharing messages of hope with their fans” throughout November.
The charity partner and Music Venue Trust will see each hub bring fans, artists, and organisers together to create, collaborate, and take action through gigs, workshops and local organising.
The campaign for government action on climate change is spearheaded by three new designs from Anthony Burrill, with profits from the sale of the t-shirts going to “directly fund the creation and maintenance of the groups across the UK & Ireland”.
They can be purchased here from today (November 10).
Lewis Jamieson, CEO of Music Declares Emergency said of the campaign: “Five years since our launch of NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET, a slogan that has come to encapsulate the commitment of artists, music businesses and fans to making a positive contribution to acting on the climate emergency, we felt it was time to bring a new message.
“By bringing our message into towns and cities across the UK through the amazing grassroots venues that are the starting point for so many musical journeys and the creative hubs that underpin UK music, we will strengthen the bonds between music fans, music promoters, and artists who are committed to making a positive difference in their communities. In doing so, we will build a roadmap from declaring an emergency to creating the alternative.”
Mark Davvyd, CEO of The Music Venue Trust added: “Grassroots Music Venues are a fundamental part of their communities and play a key role in bringing people together through music.
“By partnering with Music Declares Emergency for HOPE OVER FEAR, we aim for those venues to be at the centre of an initiative that offers spaces for innovation, discussion and collaboration and celebrates the cultural power of music to bring positive change for the benefit of everyone.”
It comes after WWF and Music Declares Emergency teamed up with huge names from across the music industry to create a new British Isles music nature map earlier this year.
In the past, ‘No Music On A Dead Planet’ has been backed by the likes of Billie Eilish and Foals as well as having shirts designed by Thom Yorke, Joy Division artist Peter Saville and others.
Previously to mark Earth Day and Turn Up The Volume Week, a number of artists spoke out in support in No Music On A Dead Planet’s campaign for government action on climate change.
Savages drummer and Music Declares Emergency co-founder Fay Milton also previously spoke out about the need for the industry as a whole to change its habits to help beat climate change.
