Are Eco-Friendly Tours the Future of Live Music? How Billie Eilish and Coldplay Make Their Concerts Sustainable
Billie Eilish's 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' and Coldplay's 'Music of the Spheres' tours are aiming to reduce carbon emissions and set an example.
In Los Angeles, fans were introduced to Eilish’s mom’s Support+Feed, which works to mitigate climate change by making plant-based food accessible, and Project Ropa, which aims to reduce waste by providing clothing and hygiene essentials to those in need. The Kia Forum was strewn with scannable codes to learn more about the tour’s impact, and the arena provided an unheard-of amount of vegan options, including beloved Angeleno vendors Donut Friend and Monty’s Good Burger. “There’s a lot of research to suggest that we need to radically and quickly redesign the entire global economy in order to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, but that’s a very difficult and decades-long project, and it’s not fair to say that someone like Billie should be responsible for all of that,” Brennan says.
