Earlier this week, it was reported that Billie Eilish is joining forces with environmental non-profit Reverb and Lollapalooza in bringing solar-powered, intelligent battery systems to Eilish’s highly anticipated headlining set at Lollapalooza in Chicago, Illinois on Thursday, August 3.
The zero-emissions battery systems partially powering Billie Eilish’s forthcoming set, supplied and managed by Overdrive Energy Solutions, will be charged via a temporary onsite “solar farm” and 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.
