The motion

That the Parliament congratulates DF Concerts and the Rockstar Energy presents TRNSMT Festival on being awarded the prestigious Platinum status from Attitude is Everything, a pioneering charity that supports the music industry to be more accessible to disabled people; understands that the award makes the dedicated music festival the first ever to hold such recognition; notes the festival's ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive and accessible environment for all music fans; further notes that Platinum status is the highest accolade awarded by Attitude is Everything, and that the award demonstrates the industry-leading commitment to accessibility, highlighting the festival's comprehensive measures to ensure that all attendees can enjoy a safe and barrier-free experience; recognises that, in 2024, the DF Concerts Accessibility Team worked to create an inclusive space for everyone, including increasing the capacity of the main stage accessible viewing platform by almost 51% and the introduction of a ground-level viewing area, which meant that the total main stage accessible area increased by 74% from 2023, and understands that the festival has introduced or improved several initiatives to enhance accessibility, including the development of a sensory tent and sensory kits for neurodivergent fans, the installation of accessible picnic benches throughout the site, increased accessibility training for staff and volunteers, the continuation of lowered counters and accessible lanes at the bars, the introduction of a volunteer running service, and the integration of the Nimbus Access Card for the 2025 festival.
