ABOUT

MOON CONVOY

is a fully sustainable armada of vehicles, coming to a town or city near you. Moon Convoy appears and disappears at night and brings interactive and ultra-violet experiences to life. Expect cosmic transformations through live music and DJ sets, a giant squid (yes, one of nature’s rarest creatures!), talks, film screenings, an inflatable game, a 9 piece Arkestra and a larger than life red phone through which you can talk to the Moon. Free entry, join us in any town!

WHY IS IT NEEDED? 

By creating a physical space for people to come together as a community, new ideas will be born.

PARADE

Parading through towns and cities of England, Moon Convoy synthesises the whole of the Tour de Moon festival as it travels between Leicester, Newcastle and Southampton between the 11th of May and the 16th of June 2022. The spectacular convoy of vehicles and floats are designed to surprise, spark, and stimulate awareness of Tour de Moon and all the magic and intrigue that surrounds it. Within the Moon Convoy, there are eight hero floats -  Moon Experiences, Moon Music, Moon Talks, Moon Cinema, Moon Hotline, Moon Games, Moon Press and Moon Arkestra. Stopping in car parks and town squares the Moon Convoy will allow everyone to experience the magic of the festival. From a mobile collaborative recording studio as part of Moon Music to a pop up outdoor cinema screening the incredible films of Moon Cinema, the Moon Convoy brings the festival and the Moon to you.
