Embrace the Solar Sessions

Innovation and change make the world go round and in the case of Wildlive, their changing the landscape of live music production for the better. Wildlive - Live Production for the Planet will host Australia's first low-consumption solar-powered system event, with The Solar Sessions Showcase concert set to take place in Collingwood, Victoria on the 11th of October.

Wildlive, whose ethos is “Maximum Quality, Minimum Environmental Impact” will first hold a showcase of industry leaders working towards change with the ‘Sustainable Choices, Financial Voices: The Economic Case for Greener Events’ panel including Wildlive Founder Alex Pinte who will be joined by Berish Bilander, Chief Executive Officer from Green Music Australia, Tara Benney, Director from Strawberry Fields Festival, Jess Flee, Co-founder and Managing Director from Green my Plate, and Jen Kyna, director from Earthed Consulting. The panel will discuss innovative approaches to help reduce environmental impact while amplifying the power of music, the economic impact of implementing more sustainable practices and how that can influence the decision-making for event organisers as well as scenarios for creating greener events

"Wildlive are pioneers with an outstanding product and team."

Brendan Ryder - Production Manager, Queenscliff Music Festival

After the panel discussions, Wildlive will present The Solar Sounds, a free, all-ages musical showcase that will feature Kim Churchill, MzRizk, Wilson Blackley, Charlie Needs Braces and The Stamps, who will all perform as part of the net zero concert series which will showcase the fully solar-powered stage solution, including the innovative sound systems developed by French startup PikiP Solar Speakers; the first low-consumption solar-powered systems that uses up to 10 times less energy than a normal PA without compromising on listening quality.

"I was genuinely shocked by how loud the system was while still audibly clear and punchy.
Very impressed and would definitely use it again." - Rhett McLaren - Director NYE on the Hill Festival

Wildlive who have already powered Aussie favourites such as Queenscliff Music Festival, New Year's Eve on the Hill, St Kilda Festival, Sydney Road Street Party, Byron Music Festival, Laneway Festival Sydney, Teneriffe Festival and more, will demonstrate its off-grid capabilities including staging, lighting and sound solutions, all powered by low-consumption renewables when they present The Solar Sessions, a net zero concert series across Australia that will feature Kim Churchill.

"Working with Solar Sessions has been completely enlightening. Getting a lot closer to the carbon neutral line is very doable, and this crew is getting dang close. We've been putting on beautiful shows out in nature and bringing together communities in a new way. It's really exciting!" says Kim Churchill
