Libérica - Green Pilot Tour
The Libérica Green Pilot Tour was a success, both artistically and logistically. The musicians reported that the entire tour ran smoothly, with excellent organisation and positive audience reactions.
Tour Schedule
- 11/04/2024: LantarenVenster, Rotterdam, Netherlands
- 12/04/2024: Bimhuis, Amsterdam, Netherlands
- 13/04/2024: Paradox, Tilburg, Netherlands
- 14/04/2024: TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, Netherlands
Sustainability in Practice
Libérica embraced sustainable travel by using an electric car throughout the tour. The experience was described as seamless and comfortable, with ample charging points available across the Netherlands. Venues provided nearby parking and charging facilities, making logistics stress-free.
To minimise environmental impact, the group rented an apartment in Oud Ade for the duration of the tour. Strategically located halfway between all venues, the accommodation provided a comfortable, nature-surrounded environment while reducing travel distances.
Other sustainable actions included:
- Using refillable water bottles throughout the tour.
- Recycling all waste generated.
- Sharing seed cards with audiences, which were enthusiastically received.
Concert Highlights
Musically, the tour was very successful. The group was well-supported at each venue by professional sound teams and high-quality backline equipment.
Audience engagement was excellent, with two sold-out shows at Bimhuis and Paradox, and strong turnouts at the other venues. Audiences were highly engaged and enthusiastic.
Feedback and Reflections
The Libérica Green Pilot Tour highlighted both the opportunities and challenges of sustainable touring. The musicians and organisers praised the benefits of using sustainable transport and centralised accommodation, which helped minimise environmental impact and maintain a comfortable base for the group.
While the tour was highly successful, some logistical challenges were noted:
- Transport: Electric cars proved to be a reliable option in the Netherlands due to excellent charging infrastructure. However, in some other European countries, limited availability of charging stations and inadequate rail services could pose challenges for similar tours.
- Accommodation: Renting a single, central location for the duration of the tour was identified as a sustainable and cost-effective practice, reducing resource use and simplifying logistics.
- Regional Focus: Staying within a small geographic area or country enabled the tour to be more sustainable and manageable.
The feedback underscored that while eco-conscious touring is possible and rewarding, it requires careful planning and a commitment to adapting practices for different contexts.
The Libérica Green Pilot Tour showcased the potential for sustainable touring to succeed both logistically and artistically. By embracing greener practices, the group delivered an inspiring series of concerts while reducing their environmental impact.
