- Greenbelt Festival is a festival of arts, faith and justice held annually in England since 1974. Greenbelt has grown out of an evangelical Christian music festival with an audience of 1,500 young people into its current form, a more inclusive festival attended at its peak around 2010 by around 20,000, including Christians and those from other faiths. The festival regularly attracts the biggest names of Christian music and many mainstream musicians. Those that have played the festival in the past include both new and established musicians, mostly playing rock, folk and pop music. This list encompasses The Alarm, U2, Moby, Pussy Riot, Cliff Richard, Bruce Cockburn, Ed Sheeran, Martyn Joseph, Steve Taylor, Daniel Amos, Phatfish, Servant, Midnight Oil, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Over the Rhine, Iona, Amy Grant, Miles Cain, Lamb, Kevin Max, Lambchop, Goldie, Jamelia, After the Fire, Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Asian Dub Foundation, The Polyphonic Spree, Aqualung, Dum Dums, The Proclaimers, Daniel Bedingfield, Eden Burning, Duke Special, Why?, Athlete, Sixpence None the Richer, The Choir, Charlie Peacock and Delirious?. Greenbelt is also a venue for teaching and discussion about (but not exclusively within) the Christian faith, and has attracted number of Christian speakers, including Rowan Williams (the former archbishop of Canterbury) who is currently the festival's patron. However, the festival also welcomes anyone who the organisers believe 'speaks for justice', and has recently had Anita Roddick, Peter Tatchell, Bill Drummond, and Billy Bragg sharing their thoughts. More recently with its links to the NGO Christian Aid, Greenbelt has become heavily involved in campaigns for trade justice. The festival was one of the main catalysts for the huge Jubilee 2000 movement. Greenbelt is also a Christian showcase for performing arts, visual arts and alternative worship. (en)
- Greenbeltfestivalen är en festival för konst, tro och rättvisa som årligen hålls i England sedan 1974. Den har under en följd av år hållits på i Gloucestershire. 2014 hölls festivalen på i Northamptonshire. Greenbelt har vuxit från en evangelisk kristen musikfestival med en publik på 1 500 ungdomar till sin nuvarande form, en mer inkluderande festival med cirka 20 000 deltagare, inklusive kristna och de från andra religioner. Den svenska Frizonfestivalen har tagit efter detta. Festivalen lockar regelbundet de största namnen inom kristen musik och många vanliga musiker. De som har spelat på festivalen tidigare är både nya och etablerade musiker, som mest spelar rock, folkmusik och popmusik. Den här listan omfattar , U2, Moby, Pussy Riot, Cliff Richard, Bruce Cockburn, Ed Sheeran, Martyn Joseph, Steve Taylor, Daniel Amos, Phatfish, , Midnight Oil, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Over Rhen, Iona, Amy Grant, Miles Cain, Lamb, Kevin Max, Lambchop, Goldie, Jamelia, After the Fire, Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Asian Dub Foundation, The Polyphonic Spree, Aqualung, Dum Dums, The Proclaimers, Daniel Bedingfield, Eden Burning, Duke Special, Why ?, Athlete, Sixpence, None the Richer. Greenbelt är också en plats för undervisning och diskussion om (men inte uteslutande inom) den kristna tron. Den har lockat många kristna talare, som Rowan Williams (den tidigare ärkebiskopen av Canterbury) som för närvarande är festivalens beskyddare. Men festivalen välkomnar också alla som arrangörerna tror 'talar för rättvisa' och har nyligen fått Anita Roddick, Peter Tatchell, Bill Drummond och Billy Bragg att dela med sig av sina tankar. (sv)
