Local where possible
Work with city-based vendors, talent and partners to keep value and participation close to each event.
Pillar three · Sustainability
Planet—a young festival built with care.
We are learning in public and improving the way every city stop is planned, supplied and experienced.
Starting honestly
Build care in from the beginning—not bolt it on later.
Dodo Festival is new. Planning began in 2025 and the first event arrived in 2026, giving us the chance to build better habits from the start.
Our approach is honest: we are not perfect yet. We will learn quickly, work with the right partners and improve event by event.
Where we are starting
Practical choices that can grow with the tour.
Less avoidable waste
Improve refill, serving, signage and supplier choices without making claims we cannot evidence.
Measure and publish
Set realistic goals, record what happened and make the next city stop more responsible than the last.
Partnership
The work needs the right collaborators.
We are looking for ethical brands, refill schemes, transport partners, venues and local councils that want to help build sustainability into every city stop.
We will favour specific, measurable improvements over sweeping promises or green slogans.
