A new 100% off-grid music festival is coming to Australia, created by none other than Lime Cordiale’s Oli and Louis Leimbach.
Bringing their passions of music and the environment together, Lime Green Festival is described as a “bold experiment” in what the future of live music can look like when climate action is placed at the centre of the experience.
Created in partnership with Chugg Music, it has been built on a commitment to reduce environmental impact while still delivering a vibrant, high-quality day of music, culture, and connection.
The festival will take place on April 18th, at Adelaide’s Point Malcolm Reserve, with a lineup led by Lime Cordiale. Joining them are established Australian talent, as well as emerging and local artists, including indie-folk mainstays The Dreggs, pop singer-songwriter aleksiah, and up-and-coming local four-piece PASH.
Championing emerging talent, Lime Cordiale are offering opportunities for local artists to take to the stage, with one spot for an artist that they will hand pick, another through a partnership with triple j’s Unearthed program. and a final spot to be determined by event sponsor City of Charles Sturt.
The festival will also feature a program of talks, interactive workshops, and activations that spotlight the community and business leaders from the growing regenerative movement.
Tickets will go on sale at 9am (AEDT) on Friday, January 23rd. A presale will run from 9am (AEDT) on Wednesday, January 21st – sign up here.

Oli and Louis Leimbach said: “From the accelerating loss of polar ice to the devastating algal blooms currently choking the South Australian coast, it is impossible to ignore that our climate is at a breaking point. For the last five years, we’ve wrestled with a deep, personal dilemma as environmentalists: Is our touring contributing to the problem? Does it still make sense in a world that’s hurting? Should we continue to tour at all?
“We’ve decided that the answer isn’t to stop, but to change. Live music is about the vital connection between people, and we believe that connection is exactly what we need to fuel a new way of doing things. Our aim is to stage the greenest music festival Australia has ever seen – rethinking everything from renewable stage power and transport to how we handle food and human waste.”
Lime Cordiale are striving to make this work off grid and believe it’s a model that can be successful in regional SA – or anywhere in Australia. The community-driven, forward-thinking platform hopes that audiences engage, learn and imagine new possibilities for how live events can operate in a more regenerative way.
