Man sitting on train station

A summer of surprise concerts on station platforms, to make the train feel like the start of the trip rather than the wait before it.

( Insight )

Young travellers saw rail as the slow, sensible option. Nobody posts about a platform.

( The idea )

Twelve unannounced sets by rising artists, played between departures in six stations, filmed and released the same evening with each artist’s own community.

( Results )

Bookings to festival towns rose 18% over the summer, and brand mentions among under-30s tripled.
