Taking on Climate Change
JOIN DAVE MATTHEWS BAND AND REVERB IN BUILDING ROOFTOP SOLAR AND TAKING ACTION TO SHRINK YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Dave Matthews Band and REVERB have been touring together since 2005, working to reduce the band’s environmental footprint and creating real, positive change for people and the planet with their fans.
This year, we’re taking our sustainability efforts a step further.
unCHANGEit
We’re taking on climate change and asking fans to get involved in the fight for our planet’s future. As part of REVERB’s 15th anniversary, we’re kicking off a new campaign to fight climate change called “unCHANGEit.”
The unCHANGEit Campaign is the music community’s stand against climate change. Bringing together music-makers and music-lovers, the campaign aims to directly remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere. The effort takes a two-pronged approach; funding clean energy projects around the world and empowering the music community to take action in their own lives to help reduce their carbon footprint.

Clean Energy Future

Tour Sustainability
As with every DMB tour, REVERB will be working with the band and crew behind the scenes to reduce the tour’s environmental footprint through efforts that include:
- Reusable water bottles and mugs for touring crew w/hydration stations
