Solas Festival 2020: make//shift world
Solas Festival 2020 is coming!
We will once again be gathering at our new home at Errol Park with a hand-picked selection of the very best musicians, writers, thinkers, performers and speakers. And of course the key ingredient...you.
We are more aware than ever of a need for change in the face of Climate Emergency.
At Solas Festival 2020 we will create a make//shift world, where we explore what this change might look like, and start enacting it together.

We will explore the natural world and think about our own connection to the land and the planet. The Climate Emergency is the number one issue facing all of us at Solas, whether you join us from Dundee or Dhaka, and we will confront it by inviting our temporary community to live and dream together to create a new imagined reality. We want to use our time and space with you to listen to experiences of the climate crisis, explore solutions from waste to wind, commons to communes, and enact a micro-version of the society we want to live in, moving beyond growth and waste to a new commons based on long-term ecological thought. As always, we will strive to be particularly welcoming to children and families, in recognition of the fact that the climate emergency will impact on our future generations, and we will create an intergenerational space of sharing and collectivity in the face of this.
Solas Festival is also hopeful – we believe a new reality must have art and music at its core and will bring you the most inspiring, engaging music and performance we can to take us forward together. We are looking into ways we can make our temporary community more sustainable and environmentally sound from 2020 into the future, and are investigating options including renewable energy, composting toilets and much more.
We will be announcing our line up in the New Year, but in the meantime stay tuned to our social media for updates on next year’s Solas Festival!
