Green Touring Guide

Green Touring Network

2021

This guide was produced by the Green Touring Network, a project started by students from the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg of Mannheim and the Green Music initiative. It can be downloaded in German and English. The Green Touring Guide mainly aims to inform musicians, agents, tour managers, promoters, venues, and booking agencies about ways in which their touring activities can be greened. It covers a range of topics, from catering, mobility, venues, and hospitality, to merchandising and communication. The guide also provides interesting case studies of the music industry ranging from Radiohead to Jack Johnson, both of whom have taken steps to green their tours. Finally, the Green Touring Network lists a range of sustainable German providers in the hospitality, catering, and merchandising industry on their website which could prove useful for German tour operators.
