Until October 2012, the website required projects to be based in the United States before opening to the United Kingdom and later Canada in September 2013. Each project has a deadline and if the pre-set funding goal is not met, no funds are collected. The site enables creators to generate funding for their projects, circumventing traditional avenues of investment and opening the market for niche productions. dollars, more than twice as much as Pebble Time.įounded in 2009, Kickstarter has turned into one of the most prolific crowdfunding platforms worldwide. In 2022, however, the crowdfunding project Surprise! Four Secret Novels by Brandon Sanderson raised nearly 42 billion U.S. In March 2015, Pebble's second smartwatch project completed its crowdfunding and publicity run with 20.34 billion dollars raised in Kickstarter pre-order funding, becoming the most successful Kickstarter project as of July 2021.
Up until then, Pebble e-paper watch had held the title for the highest funded project on the crowdfunding website with 10.27 million US dollars. Greenpeace and Amnesty International are among the organisations that pitch up to educate festivalgoers on their initiatives via workshops, debates, and presentations.At the end of August 2014, the Coolest Cooler finished its Kickstarter run with more than 13.28 million U.S. Another staple of the event is the Academy of the Finest Arts tent, which hosts hundreds of different NGOs, associations and organisations. The festival is also an advocate of LGBT+ rights in Poland and has previously invited queer-friendly artists such as Skunk Anansie, Polish pop star Majka JeżowskaPol, and Polish singers Ralph Kaminski and Krzysztof Zalewski. One of the event’s traditions is unfolding a huge Polish flag over the main stage audience to show that everyone has a place underneath it. Pol’and’Rock uses its mammoth platform to promote ideals of love and friendship, thus forging a refuge from some of the more conservative aspects of Polish society.

The Płoty-based event has been running for more than 25 years and typically attracts an audience of almost half a million people, making it the largest free festival in Europe. Known as Poland’s Woodstock Festival, Pol’and’Rock aims to create “a haven for all lovers of freedom”. These projects and partnerships are woven into the fabric of the event, where festivalgoers can see some of the world’s leading speakers, artists, scientists, entrepreneurs and activists take to the stage alongside music titans such as Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and Calvin Harris. Through the festival’s foundation and partnerships with the Serbian government and the United Nations, it’s working on projects to combat the hunger crisis, deforestation and climate change. Following the Yugoslavian general election in 2000, Exit moved from the city's University Park to Petrovaradin’s medieval fortress on the bank of the Danube river, but social responsibility has remained a key focus. It’s said to be the first place that youth from all former Yugoslav republics gathered after a decade of civil wars.
The Novi Sad-based event launched two decades ago as a student movement against President Milosevic, as they fought for peace and freedom. Social activism is in Exit festival’s DNA. Located between the district of Sant Martí in Barcelona and Sant Adrià, the venue provides a lush Mediterranean backdrop for world-class acts. These are just a few of the 400+ acts due to perform at Primavera’s waterfront residence, Parc del Fòrum, across the two weekends in June. Acts including Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa, Lorde, Jorja Smith, Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, Clairo, Little Simz, Courtney Barnett and Celeste are helping to tip the gender balance scales. Despite the Barcelona festival doubling in size for this year’s belated 20th anniversary edition, it has made good on its promise once again. While some festivals are using the pandemic as an excuse to take a raincheck on such pledges, Primavera Sound’s Marta Pallarès says that festivals “can’t afford to go back to pale, male and stale”. In 2019, Primavera Sound launched its ‘New Normal’ campaign, becoming the first globally recognised music festival to achieve and commit to a gender-balanced line-up with a bill comprised of at least 50% women and non-binary people.
