Billie Eilish And REVERB Join Forces With Lollapalooza

Pop sensation Billie Eilish is joining forces with environmental non-profit REVERB and Lollapalooza in bringing solar-powered, intelligent battery systems to her highly anticipated headlining set at Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL this week on Thursday (August 3).

The zero-emissions battery systems partially powering Eilish's upcoming set, supplied and managed by Overdrive Energy Solutions, will be charged via a temporary onsite "solar farm" and will serve as a powerful example of clean energy technologies that can reduce live music's greenhouse gas pollution and accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels.

The groundbreaking project is part of the Music Decarbonization Project that Eilish helped launch and fund, and is REVERB’s campaign to advance innovative climate solutions to directly eliminate carbon emissions created by the music industry. This bold and revolutionary move will be a powerful example of an emerging clean energy solution that can help rapidly reduce the carbon emissions of live music. The goal at Lollapalooza is to further prove clean energy technology's ability to provide power to large stages and drive the music industry toward a future that is less reliant on highly polluting diesel generators.

Adam Gardner of REVERB said: "We hope and believe this will be a watershed moment for the music industry.

"There are real climate solutions available right here, right now. By showcasing this technology with one of the biggest artists in the world, on one of the most revered festival stages, we're accelerating the necessary transition toward a decarbonized future, for music and beyond."
