Lime Green Festival is a bold experiment in what the future of live music can look like when climate action is placed at the centre of the experience. Designed as a 100% off-grid event, the festival is built on a commitment to reducing environmental impact while still delivering a vibrant, high-quality day of music, culture and connection.
Taking place in Adelaide on 18 April at Cloisters Adelaide Uni, Lime Green is more than just a music festival. It is a community-driven, forward-thinking platform that invites audiences to engage, learn and imagine new possibilities for how live events can operate in a more regenerative way. And because we are trying to make this work off grid, we think it’s a model we can bring to regional SA – or anywhere in Australia!
