OVERVIEW

Another historic year for REVERB and Dave Matthew’s Band as we celebrated our 20th(!) year working together! One of music’s most dedicated fanbases showed up early and often this summer to make an impact in the REVERB Eco-Village. For the 6th year in a row, DMB planted 1 million trees as part of the Nature Conservancy plan to plant 1 billion trees. This year also marked the second year in a row of the band’s Road to Zero Waste initiative to cut down on as much waste as possible at venues throughout the summer!

NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

Dave Matthews Band’s longstanding commitment to nonprofit support and action continued on this year’s tour.

VOLUNTEER HIGHLIGHTS

Across the Dave Matthews Band tour, volunteers kept the REVERB mission front and center!

Full-Circle Moments
Several first-time volunteers shared that they’d been inspired by REVERB at past DMB shows and finally decided to get involved themselves. “It was amazing to be part of the team this time,” one said. “I got to help fans learn about the same work that first inspired me.”

High Energy, High Impact
Even with hot weather and long days, volunteers stayed upbeat and motivated—many hitting record engagement and bottle sales. “We crushed it!” one team shared. “Fans were excited, curious, and ready to take action.”

TOUR SUSTAINABILITY

ACTION AT EVERY VENUE

Together we advocated for sustainability at every stop:

17,760 single-use bottles eliminated with refillable bottles and backstage water stations
Recycling and composting in most venues, plus hand-sorting by green teams
Zero-waste concessions with reusable or compostable products
Cleaner transport with reduced idling

In 2025 DMB, Live Nation and REVERB continued the Road To Zero Waste! 96% of fan-generated waste was composted, recycled, or reused instead of going to landfills or incinerators. Learn more!

CLIMATE PROJECT SUPPORT

In addition to the band’s commitment to helping the Nature Conservancy plant 1 billion trees, DMB also acknowledges the band’s yearly footprint by purchasing carbon offsets to measurably draw down green house gases. In acknowledgement of the band’s footprint in 2024, the band supported these projects:

Project: From Waste to Fuel: Improving Agriculture and Livelihoods in Uganda

This project provides small family farms with a small-scale digester that generates biofuel for cooking and organic fertilizer delivering financial savings and increased crop yields. Over the course of the 10-year project, over 10,000 farming households in several coffee and sugar-growing regions of Uganda will participate and contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions.

Project: Central Mozambique Safe Water Program

This project, led by the nonprofit Village Water, rehabilitates, installs and maintains borehole water infrastructure to provide communities with safe, clean drinking water. The project also builds capacity and offers training at the local level around managing water sources into the future.
