The SON Estrella Galicia Posidonia, the only TRUE Zero Waste Platinum festival in the world, returns in October 2024. Bases on the balearic island Formentera, the festival has received the TRUE Platinum certification awarded this July to become the only Zero Waste festival in the world. SON Estrella Galicia Posidonia, the festival on the paradisiacal island of Formentera – will host just 350 people again this year from the 4th to the 6th of October. Having achieved the TRUE Zero Waste Platinum certification this July, the event is a truly unique meeting of music, nature, gastronomy, beer and positive impact.
Working with local partners it gives its guests a chance to (re)discover the island through activities and guided walks – committed to a 0 Waste policy with a focus on reduction and reuse. As in previous years, SON Estrella Galicia Posidonia will offer a programme of performances and activities spread across different parts of the island that will be kept secret until the start of the festival.
The line-up, as is now tradition, will not be revealed until the 4th of October itself and will be made up of new international talents who will share the stage with other more renowned artists who are rarely to be found on the festival scene in Spain. Previous performers include Ibibio Sound Machine, Los Bitchos, Grove, Charlotte Adigéry, Oddisee, Marina Herlop, Pongo, Crystal Murray, Noah Slee or Jungle by Night, among others.
A TRULY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
With a secret musical line-up as its backbone, SON Estrella Galicia Posidonia has been building a unique experience with the firm intention of paying tribute to one of the most beautiful islands in the world. A Mediterranean tasting menu curated by a Michelin Star chef is paired with the best beer brewed in Galicia to be enjoyed by just 350 people. As has been customary since its inception, the festival will once again collaborate with the Save Posidonia project, which seeks to protect this marine plant of paramount importance and raise awareness of the need to preserve it.
In line with this commitment to positive impact, SON Estrella Galicia Posidonia announced its TRUE Platinum certification as the only Zero Waste festival in the world by the GBCI® (Green Business Certification Inc.™) this July. In its last edition, the festival worked on various measures that led it to achieve an impressive waste diversion rate of 99.3%, making a definitive commitment to the circular economy and optimising the reduction and reuse of everything related to consumption during the event.
Since its inception in 2017, SON Estrella Galicia Posidonia has promoted an environmentally friendly model., Through action and raising awareness, the festival advocates for responsible tourism and the protection of Posidonia, the marine plant responsible for oxygenating the water, which gives it its characteristic turquoise blue colour and serves as a reserve for fish, molluscs and crustaceans. To help restore the island’s biodiversity, every year there is an initiative to protect Posidonia in collaboration with the Save Posidonia Project. In addition, the festival works hand in hand with several other local allies and artisans to ensure a long lasting positive impact on the local environment in which it takes place.
