ROTHBURY brings together a community entrenched in music, art and the environment. Lounge by the lake during day and dance deep into the night. Experience the magic of the Sherwood Forest with its extravagant light display, surprise performances and parties in the depths of the forest. More than 70 artists including The Dead, The String Cheese Incident, Willie Nelson & Family, the Black Crowes, STS9, Umphrey’s McGee and others will perform full sets… or more… on one of four stages over this multi-day festival.

Building on its mission to create a state-of-the-art large scale sustainable event and to organize and nurture community involvement that makes a difference, ROTHBURY 2009 promises even more cutting-edge festival implementation of ever-changing green technologies. The 2009 ROTHBURY Think Tank, an event within the event, explores the topic of the emerging “New Green Economy.” The Think Tank will host various buzz sessions and roundtables between leading scientists, scholars, writers, progressive political and corporate leaders, youth leaders, ROTHBURY artists, and ROTHBURY attendees. Think Tank Programming details coming soon.
ROTHBURY itself is committed to producing a near zero-waste concert. The first to tackle a green program of this magnitude at an around-the-clock (camping) concert in the USA, ROTHBURY has an on-staff Greening Chief, and has implemented multiple initiatives toward this effort, including replacing disposables with 100% compostables, recycling and composting, choosing clean energy, carbon-offsetting, and Green Ticket options.
