Music Declares Emergency launches its third annual Turn Up The Volume week on Monday 17th April with a unique initiative to put music fans at the heart of the response to the climate emergency

The Fan Club For Climate is a new program within MDE that will encourage music fans of all genres to become a part of the movement both online and in real life. Developed in Beta since Summer 2022, the Fan Club already has over one thousand founder members pledged to work with Music Declares to put music, and the communities around it, at the heart of the climate conversation. Early sign ups were enabled by partnerships with Reading and Leeds Festivals, Yungblud, and The 1975.

With support from across the music industry for today’s launch, including an eye-catching video display at London’s O2 and Glasgow’s Hydro, The Fan Club For Climate aims to create the world’s largest climate conscious music community.

Members will gain exclusive access to ticket giveaways and prizes from industry donors and be encouraged to come together to take monthly challenges related to the climate emergency. Regional groups will be supported to engage with their local music communities to highlight and celebrate best practice, campaign for support for transition to sustainable business models and engage with local music fans to mainstream conversation around the climate emergency.

JOIN US AT THE BIG ONE ON FRIDAY APRIL 17TH FROM MIDDAY

Music Declares Emergency will be joining a host of other organisations from the climate and social justice movement on Friday April 21st to make our voices heard outside Parliament in demanding immediate action in response to the climate emergency.

We are gathering the music community under our No Music On A Dead Planet banner from midday on Friday to show the commitment of the UK music community to action on climate and biodiversity.

To stand with us on the day and for more information on how to get involved, sign up here.

LOOK OUT FOR MORE ACROSS THE WEEK

During the week we will be highlighting the success stories, innovations, and continued growth of Music Declares Emergency across the world. With active groups across four continents, Music Declares Emergency is harnessing the power of music to highlight the need for urgent action in response to the climate emergency.
