Billie Eilish Partners With Reverb to Plot Solar-Powered Headlining Set at Lollapalooza

Thania Garcia Billie Eilish’s headlining set at Lollapalooza in Chicago on Aug. 3 will be partially solar-powered by intelligent, zero-emission battery systems.

The sustainability project, one of the young singer’s many efforts to combat climate change, is in partnership with environmental non-profit Reverb and is made possible via a temporary onsite “solar farm” supplied and managed by Overdrive Energy Solutions.

It’s just one of the many ambitious initiatives to come out of the Music Decarbonization Project, an organization that Eilish both helped launch and fund.

The project also falls in line with Reverb’s campaign to advance their 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 teams’ press release reads. “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.” Elisih previously partnered with Reverb for her 2022 “Happier Than Ever” world tour, where they set up Eco-Villages at her concert venues.
