Eartheater, Junglepussy, Doss, GIFT & more playing solar powered NYC festival New Energy

Clean energy organizations DER Task Force and SOLARPUNKS are teaming up with our friends at AdHoc to throw an entirely solar powered music festival. New Energy is a sequel, of sorts, to last year’s solar powered Brooklyn show, and it happens on Saturday, October 18 at Governors Island‘s Parade Ground. The lineup includes Eartheater, Junglepussy, Doss, GIFT, and Ivan Berko, and tickets go on sale Friday, October 3 at 12 PM ET. You can get them on presale now with the password NEWENERGY.

“After last year’s successful proof of concept, we’re thrilled to officially launch New Energy, the solar-powered music festival,” DERTF’s James McGinniss says. “While there are still challenges for the industry to achieve 100% solar-powered festivals, we want people to realize that if we can do it, they can too. There’s so much doomerism and blackpilling about the climate and our ability to shift away from fossil fuels. Everything about New Energy’s vibe and curation is aimed to inject a different kind of energy into the world — one that says the future is actually going to be awesome.”

“The name New Energy has a double meaning, and we’re echoing the forward-thinking ethos of the overall event in our music curation,” organizer Ryan Leas adds. “Building upon the groundwork laid last year, we want to feature artists on the rise and on the bleeding edge — both sonically and thematically reshaping our present while plotting a course towards a future we can’t see yet. These are musicians that make us feel that mystery isn’t frightening, but exhilarating.”
