During 2024, reverb's major program accomplishment areas were connected to three marquis programs and artists: billie eilish tour, our music decarbonization project, dead & company at the sphere.reverb had the honor of again joining forces with billie eilish, who 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 "hit me hard and soft" tour. The statistics and actions have been remarkable. Over 103,000+ total fan actions we taken on-site, including over 6,054 fans taking reverb's fast fashion survey; over $3.1 million was raised to support nonprofit organizations, environmental justice and climate projects through billie's "changemaker" ticket fund as a way to collaborate with fans to raise money for nonprofits addressing the climate crisis, food insecurity and climate justice issues which deeply align with reverb's core values and mission. Reverb was honored to have been entrusted by billie and her team to steward the distribution of those funds as grants for the north american leg of her tour; 3,076 hours of volunteer hours were served by 769 people who helped fellow fans take action for people and the planet. Additionally, reverb worked with billie's team to measure the carbon footprint of her global tour. In acknowledgement of the climate impact of touring, billie supported reverb's climate project portfolio which is comprised of projects and organizations that work to measurably reduce greenhouse gas pollution, address climate change, restore nature and advance decarbonization efforts in music all with the goal of addressing the complex challenges of the climate crisis.

Reverb continued growing our music decarbonization project which works to advance innovative climate solutions to directly eliminate carbon emissions created by the music industry. The funding raised for this project helps develop and promote the necessary shift toward increased efficiency, expanding clean energy options, and reducing greenhouse gas pollution with a focus on the unique climate challenges of music. In 2024, we had some incredible firsts: powering the higher ground concert series with 100% battery power for the entire season avoiding 1.5 metric tons of co2e (at the guster concert alone); 100% battery powering SXSW's community concerts; having the first fully battery powered festival in coal country at the healing appalachia festival resulting in a 99% reduction of co2e emissions; helping the portola festival 100% battery power their festival stage resulting in a 99% decrease in diesel use; working with austin city limits to use their first hybrid battery system at a major acl stage avoiding 15.38 metric tons of co2e; powering tyler the creator' sold out camp flog gnaw festival with battery powered stages avoiding 4,261 gallons of diesel use, the first hip hop festival to do so. Additionally, we had the opportunity to again work with willie nelson at his luck reunion to make the festival-wide switch to battery powered stage reducing diesel use by 90%.
