Program areas at Reverb

During 2022, Reverb's major program accomplishment areas were connected to three marquis tours: billie eilish, the lumineers and dead & co.reverb had the honor of joining forces with billie eilish, whom we began working with in 2020. Billie is an incredible activist and her passion for the environment coalesced into a fantastic Reverb action program both in the front-of-house and backstage on her "happier than ever" tour. The statistics and actions have been remarkable. Over 133,500+ total fan actions we taken on-site, including over 11,300 fans taking Reverb's music climate revolution climate quiz; over $990,000 raised to support nonprofit organizations, environmental justiceand climate projects; 8.8 million gallons of water saved by serving plant-based meals for artists and crew on tour; 88,000+ single use water bottles avoided by fans using reusables and filling up at free hydration stations at show; 2,300 hours of volunteer hours served by 692 people who helped fellow fans take action for people and the planet; and 15,000+ tonnes of co2e were neutralized via certified climate projects.
Reverb has been fortunate enough to partner with the lumineers since 2020, and in 2022 in both north america and the eu, we achieved so much on their tour. During their two 2022 tours, there were 47,500+ fan actions taken; over $431,000 dedicated to supporting both environmental nonprofits, and those addressing homelessness and addiction; $270,900+ given to climate projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; 1,230+ volunteer hours donated by over 350 volunteers; and 30,800+ disposable plastic water bottles diverted from the landfill. It was truly such an impactful tour for both people and the planet.
In 2022, Reverb again worked with the iconic musicians in dead & co. Reverb was the production arm behind "participation row" along with our voter registration partners at headcount. During this tour there were 37,000+ fan actions taken; $1.5 million raised for dead & co. charity organizations; 12,800+ single-use bottles eliminated at shows, $367,000+ dedicated to fund diverse global projects eliminating greenhouse gas such as givepower'skenya solar water farm, nativeenergy's mexican biodigester project, and native renewable's hozho homes program; 17 nonprofit organizations and partners were supported; and over 1,000+ fan volunteer hours were donated to help raise awareness about our work on this tour. It was an incredible experience to be on the road and be able to create programming for artists who have led the charge within the music industry as cultural change makers since the 1960's.
