TRIBAN Solar Stage

Triban is a solar powered music venue and vegan cafe situated within a Moroccan Marquee. We provide and create a magical space for musicians, poets, and cabaret acts, designed to inspire and delight.

As a collective we work together sharing and contributing skills. Our collective includes technicians, musicians, artists, performers, activists… We believe in working together non-hierarchically and are a non profit organization – we do it out of love!

Triban aims to offer a glimpse into the way we want to live, we believe our collective way of working creates a productive and empowering way of life.

Triban Offers:

• An open space where people can teach, learn, party and share ideas for creating a lifestyle that is inspiring and sustainable.
• A relaxed, friendly environment for both chilling out and partying

This is provided by:

• Tribans’ venue which is a 14m by 7m Moroccan Marquee
• Renewable energy: We use solar, wind and cycle power to run our sound system.
• Solar stage: Our sound engineers provide high quality sound for performers, and our own resident DJs and bands. New for 2009 we have a 24 channel Allen and Heath mixing desk allowing us to cope with the most numerically massive festival bands.
• A new chill out space, The Triban Harem. Look out for our new Aladdins Cave theme, and this new beautiful Bell Tent. It could also host our Art Gallery, Films, Workshops, or a healing space.
• A vegan café (with Fairtrade organic produce where possible) Tea, Chai and snacks.
• A radical information stall.

Resident Bands:- We have grown a large family of amazing bands and musicians who love playing in Triban, that we could bring to a festival, or recommend to any event organiser.

On May 1st-3rd, we will be holding our 4th Triban Spring Gathering, outside Cardiff. Look out for more details to follow shortly.

Winter 2007/8:- Triban has been taking it easy over the winter so far, we made an appearance at Synergy with our cafe supporting the charity Ecoshelter, and hosted the live bands room at Junk in October. Now we're starting to plan for the summer and looking forward to seeing everyone again at the festivals.

We hope to have an expanded cafe and chill out area, with a new dome, and a few other improvements.
