Those who pledge to fight the climate crisis can win free tickets to sold-out shows through Global Citizen.
Every stop on the tour will feature the “Billie Eilish Eco-Village,” where fans can learn to be more sustainable in day-to-day life.
Billie Eilish committed to making her world tour “as green as possible” by banning plastic straws, providing recycling facilities, and encouraging people to bring refillable water bottles - which normally aren’t allowed at venues. While Coldplay is arguably the biggest act to commit to going green, a number of other artists are advocating for sustainability in touring. All of us have to work out the best way of doing our job." Martin said he felt responsible to make sure his future tours "have a positive impact. It is admirable of Coldplay to leverage its sustained popularity to set an example for the industry. It also made Coldplay more than half a billion dollars - $532 million, to be precise. The tour employed 109 crew, 32 trucks, and nine bus drivers. During their last outing, the “Head Full of Dreams Tour” in 20, Coldplay performed 122 shows to 5.4 million people across five continents. When a band like Coldplay decides not to tour, they’re foregoing a massive payday. Taylor Swift made $90.5 million playing shows in 2018, which accounts for more than 90% of her revenue that year - $99.6 million total. The bulk of many musicians’ wealth these days comes from touring. Remember that massive “claw” structure that U2 designed, so they could play gigs suspended in the middle of the crowd? A cavalcade of 120 trucks was required to take the thing on the road in 2009, and one environmental group estimated the band generated the equivalent carbon footprint of a flight to Mars during that tour alone. Music industry experts estimate that live music generates 405,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year in the UK alone. Festivals and stadium tours have a massive carbon footprint.
