Our motto is to ‘Play Hard, Tread Lightly’; which encompasses the concept of hosting a premier music festival in an environmentally and social responsible manner. Being eco-conscious is more than just having a festival, it is more than just a cool fashionable concept – it is a lifestyle waiting to take form.
Rocking the Daisies has incorporated all practical measures possible to ensure hosting a green event since its initiation in 2006. An eco-friendly mindset is the kind of thing that slowly creeps up on you and before you know it, what seemed inconvenient and a waste of time at first, suddenly reveals itself as fun, innovative and ultimately changing the world we live in because it has purpose.

To motivate you along this path we also give some interesting facts and tips, so check them out together with the latest news hot off the green press.
