The Political Power of Music

At a time when the intersection between music and politics is under fire, Sexy Climate Change teams up with Music Declares Emergency to ask: Can music still save us?

In the wake of recent controversy around artists taking political stances, this panel dives headfirst into the essential role musicians play in shaping culture and catalysing change. We'll explore why musicians remain some of the most trusted voices in the climate movement, and how they can create impact.

Music has always been more than entertainment. It tells us who we are, holds up a mirror to society, and offers a vision of where we might go. In a world of disinformation, artists are not just creators they’re sense-checkers, storytellers, and frontline advocates for justice.

What's On

• A live podcast recoding with panellists Dave Randall (Faithless), Ella Harris (PVA) and Gary Powell (The Libertines) moderated by Issey Gladston (Sexy Climate Change)
• Insights into how music can shape politics.
• Delicious drinks, DJ setts + space to connect
