Robert Del Naja has revealed that Massive Attack declined an invitation to perform at Coachella in 2025, labelling the festival &#8220;the most ludicrous bit of human behaviour&#8221; in regards to the damage the festival does to the environment.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Speaking to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/massive-attack-why-turned-down-coachella-2025-billie-eilish-3823343\">NME<\/a>, Del Naja said the group are committed to only performing shows and festival dates that they are sure are not directly contributing towards worsening the climate crisis, even if that means declining lucrative offers from major promoters.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe said no to Coachella for next year because again, we\u2019ve been there once, and once was enough,\u201d Del Naja said. \u201cIt\u2019s in Palm Springs. It\u2019s a golf resort built on a desert, run on a sprinkler system, using public water supplies. Mental. If you want to see something that\u2019s the most ludicrous bit of human behaviour \u2013 it\u2019s right there.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Del Naja was asked about the sustainability of something like a Las Vegas residency, in which the artist remains in one place thus reducing the damage done by <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing. \u201cIt\u2019s a head-scratcher, the artists in Vegas residency thing, because that\u2019s an aviation destination,\u201d he replied. \u201cYou can\u2019t get to Vegas [without flying]. So if you\u2019re doing a couple years in Vegas, you are the catalyst for all those scope 3 emissions [indirect emissions created by a company or activity] by playing.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            In recent years Massive Attack have pioneered \u201cclimate action accelerator\u201d events, including a large outdoor show held in Bristol, U.K. last summer that was powered by 100% renewable energy.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">David Renshaw<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
