Lilith Music festival goes green with Reverb

January 6, 2010 by Robin 

– Sarah McLachlan and the 2010 Lilith Tour are thrilled to reveal the first set of artists confirmed for next summer’s tour. Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, Colbie Caillat, Ke$ha, Tegan and Sara, Miranda Lambert and Metric are among those set to join McLachlan on the road. Others include A Fine Frenzy, Indigo Girls, Emmylou Harris, Chairlift, Jill Scott, Sugarland, Brandi Carlile, Sara Bareilles, Zee Avi and The Weepies.

From 1997 through 1999, Lilith Fair was one of the highest grossing touring festivals in the world, with over 1.5 million fans in attendance and raising over $10 million dollars for national and local charities. Founded by Grammy-award winning artist Sarah McLachlan along with Dan Fraser, Marty Diamond and Terry McBride, Lilith Fair was the only tour of its kind—a celebration of women in music featuring artists like Sheryl Crow, Christina Aguilera, Erykah Badu, The Dixie Chicks, Missy Elliot, The Pretenders, Nelly Furtado, Jewel, Queen Latifah, Indigo Girls, Tegan and Sara and of course, Sarah McLachlan.

Nearly 6 months ago, Nettwerk CEO and Lilith Fair co-founder Terry McBride announced that the all-female festival would make its return in Summer 2010.

Reverb will be coordinating greening efforts to ensure a minimal environmental footprint during the Lilith Fair tour, from setting up recycling centers to fueling the fleet with biodiesel to interacting with fans in our on-site Eco-Villages. Please check back later for more details!

Efforts include:

  • Waste reduction and recycling backstage
  • Fueling touring fleet with B20 Biodiesel
  • Non-toxic cleaners and post-consumer recycled bathroom tissue on tour busses
  • Reusable water bottles for band and crew to reduce plastic bottle waste
  • Biodegradable and compostable catering products, including potato and corn based utensils, bowls and cups
  • Carbon offsets to neutralize all CO2 emissions from touring fleet, air travel, hotel accommodations, and venue energy use
  • Working with the concert venues to help them be more green

    There are definitely loads of particulars like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to deliver up. I supply the thoughts above as normal inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you carry up the place an important thing might be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged around issues like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a good game. Both girls and boys feel the affect of only a moment’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.
