Wax + Gears

WAX + GEARS RETURNS! The pedal-powered, off-grid Music Carnival is back for 2023… WAX + GEARS, a one-day festival of emerging music, sustainable practice, and climate activism, takes place in an off-grid, pedal-powered arena within our large outdoor garden space at Future Yard. Drawing together the ideas of music discovery, vinyl culture, cycling, DIY, analogue and with an eco-conscious aesthetic, Wax + Gears will be a platform based around community, collective enrichment and celebration. The event will be completely off-grid, with all power generated by a bank of dynamo bikes adjacent to the stage. The audience will be encouraged to ‘keep the pedals turning so the records keep on spinning!’ throughout the day. Live music from a diverse range of Merseyside artists, including FY favourite Beija Flo and more TBA. + Dance for Plants DJs + Sustainable Merch Clothes Swap + Upcycling Craft Workshop + Family Fun Ride + more TBA! This is a free event. No tickets required.
