Sustainability

Just Like Heaven will feature a series of sustainability initiatives to account for our emissions, improve waste diversion, and pilot new programs and technologies. With every festival pass, a $2 Sustainability Fee is included to help support these sustainability goals and initiatives. Each contribution is a huge step in growing these ideas, and getting these operations and organizations off the ground. We look forward to making positive change, together!

Just Like Heaven’s sustainability program is supported by AEG Sustainability, our long-standing sustainability department, and its vision to inspire the world’s many voices to protect our planet.
