Free artist webinar, plus the latest in music & climate news.
It’s been a big start to the year for our small but mighty team! We’re excited to announce our new partnership with climate-impact agency FEAT. Live, and an upcoming webinar exploring how artists can tap into FEAT’s Solar Slice to fund climate and nature solutions through their touring. We’re also sharing highlights from our first Gadigal/Sydney Community Meetup, a Green Music Australia board update, plus the latest opportunities and music & climate news we’ve got our eye on.
FEAT. LIVE PARTNERSHIP AND FREE WEBINAR
We’ve partnered with climate-impact agency FEAT. Live. Together, we’re accelerating sustainability outcomes across the Australian music industry – with 10% of all new Solar Slice music partnerships directly supporting our on-the-ground work helping artists, venues, and festivals reduce emissions and transition to low-carbon operations.

Keen to learn more? Join our free webinar hosted by Tim Shiel (Green Music Australia), featuring Heidi Lenffer (Cloud Control/FEAT's Founder) and Oli Leimbach (Lime Cordiale), for artists interested in funding climate action through FEAT’s Solar Slice.
