Toploader to Return to Eastbourne at Brand New Eco Festival
29th June 2022
Eastbourne welcomes the brand new E-Festival from 29 – 31 July, with headliners Toploader returning to their hometown to perform in Eastbourne for the first time in over 10 years!
This family friendly, hybrid eco festival combines live music, a street food village and tips on living an environmentally friendly lifestyle simultaneously across 3 sites at the Western Lawns, Wish Tower Slopes and Princes Park.
With an aim to increase awareness of eco-living, the free to access Princes Park site will host climate exhibitors with advice on how to lower your carbon footprint, alongside children’s attractions, live music and entertainment.
The Eastbourne Climate Coalition will also host the ‘e-hive’, a pop-up climate hub hosting talks, presentations and workshops by local community groups at the Princes Park site.
Eastbourne Borough Council’s lead member for Tourism and Culture Councillor Margaret Bannister said, “With the importance of reducing carbon emissions and reversing the affects of climate change, alongside Eastbourne’s ambition to become a net carbon zero town by 2030, this brand new eco festival is a great opportunity to engage with the public in a fun and informative way.
There’ll be plenty of tips and tricks to work towards reducing your personal carbon footprint, live music and fun for all the family - and what better way to top it all off than welcoming Toploader home to take to the stage in Eastbourne once again!”
Joe Washbourn, Toploader lead singer said, “After growing up and beginning our musical journey in Eastbourne we are super excited to be returning to play at E-Festival.
It’s been over ten years since we last played in the town and we're proud to be supporting a brand new festival with such a strong eco ethos at its core. See you on the Western Lawns on 30th July… we can’t wait!”
Eco friendly initiatives will be taking place throughout the festival, with water refill points, biodegradable cups and cutlery at food vendors and an emphasis on recycling. Visitors are also encouraged to explore eco-friendly methods of transport including the dedicated Park & Ride scheme and travelling to the festival by train.
