REVERB

Tomorrow marks the official 20th anniversary of REVERB. On July 13, 2004, we hit the road with Barenaked Ladies for our first-ever tour. Twenty years and 350 tours later, it’s a little emotional to reminisce about that very first night. Following in the footsteps of Bonnie Raitt and her Green Highway campaign, we were eager to change touring for the better, nervously excited about our fledgling 501(c)(3), and completely unaware of the journey we had in store. A lot has changed since 2004, but our belief in music’s unique ability to unite and move people has only grown stronger as we’ve witnessed the collective power of music-makers and music-lovers to create positive change. Facing the ever-growing threat of the climate crisis, we continue to draw hope, strength, and motivation from our knowledge of what’s possible when we band together in the fight for people and the planet. The positive impacts have reverberated over the last twenty years, adding up to 7.7 million fan actions, $16.7 million raised for environmental causes, 390,000+ tons of CO2E neutralized, over 4 million single-use plastic bottles eliminated, 5,800+ nonprofits supported, and 186,000+ volunteer hours at shows. None of this work would be possible without the entire REVERB community—from our talented and devoted artist partners who harness their platform to make a difference, to our nonprofit, brand, and industry partners who push for a greener live music business, to the tens of thousands of REVERB volunteers who bring energy, heart, and positivity to concerts around the world, to the millions of music fans who’ve taken action with us at shows. Every day for 20 years, this community has continued to inspire and empower the work we do for our collective future. Here’s to you—and the decades to come. With endless gratitude, Adam & Lauren
