In a pioneering move, Eilish’s Lollapalooza set was partially solar-powered by intelligent, zero-emission battery systems.
The pop singer shared that the climate-friendly performance is part of the Music Decarbonization Project co-founded by Eilish herself in partnership with the environmental non-profit REVERB.
According to a press release, the zero-emissions battery systems that will power her set will be supplied and managed by Overdrive Energy Solutions and will be charged via a temporary onsite “solar farm”.
The use of these battery systems will serve as a powerful demonstration of clean energy technologies that can drastically reduce live music’s greenhouse gas pollution and accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels.
Other Lollapalooza 2023 headliners include Kendrick Lamar, Odesza, The 1975, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Lana Del Rey.
