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%.

In 2024, 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 residency at the sphere in las vegas, there were over 47,000 onsite and online fan actions taken; $1.4 million raised for dead & co. Charity organizations; 19 nonprofit organizations and partners were supported; and 85 volunteers gave over 2,380+ hours to help raise awareness about our work. It was an incredible experience to be at this innovative, new venue bringing to life programming for these artists who have led the charge within the music industry as cultural change-makers since the 1960's.
