DEAD & COMPANY TOUR 2021

It has indeed been a long, strange trip… And this one was CLIMATE POSITIVE!

Building on years of partnership, Dead & Company and REVERB are taking our sustainability efforts to the next level on the band’s 2021 tour!

Just like all of Dead & Company’s past tours, the band partnered with REVERB to reduce the environmental footprint of touring. NEW FOR THIS YEAR: With a focus on taking even more action on the climate crisis, the 2021 tour was CLIMATE POSITIVE – eliminating vastly more greenhouse gas pollution than it creates!

MUSIC CLIMATE REVOLUTION

As a partner of Music Climate Revolution, Dead & Company has committed to take immediate, ongoing, and increasing action on the climate emergency. This year, the band and REVERB eliminated 5X the greenhouse gas pollution the 2021 tour created.

The carbon elimination is achieved through funding global projects that directly eliminate greenhouse gases. These efforts are in addition and secondary to all efforts undertaken to reduce as many emissions as possible.
