The Role of Sustainability in Concert Tours: How Tour Managers Can Go Green

As a Tour Manager, you have the power to make a significant impact on the sustainability of concert tours. By prioritizing eco-friendly practices throughout the tour, you can help reduce waste, minimize emissions, and create a more sustainable future for the music industry. Here’s a checklist to help you get started:

• Choose sustainable transportation options:

  •  Select vehicles that are fuel-efficient and emit fewer greenhouse gases.
  • Consider using Landstar’s eco-friendly fleet of vehicles, equipped with the latest technology for comfortable and efficient long journeys.
  • Opt for transportation companies such as Round the Clock Logistics that prioritize sustainability and have taken steps to reduce their carbon footprint.

• Use real-time tracking and communication tools:

  • Ensure that you have access to real-time tracking and communication tools to stay up-to-date on the location and progress of the vehicles at all times.
  • This not only ensures timely pick-up and drop-off services but also enables you to make informed decisions that can help reduce emissions and minimize waste.

• Encourage sustainable practices among artists and crew members:

  • Encourage artists and crew members to use reusable water bottles and avoid single-use plastics.
  • Work with venues and suppliers to reduce waste, recycle materials, and use eco-friendly products.
  •  Consider offsetting the carbon emissions of the tour through programs such as Landstar’s “Green Initiatives” or “Eco-Logic” programs.

• Prioritize transparent pricing and competitive rates:

  • Work with transportation companies that provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Consider Round the Clock for your next tour, we offer streamlined services with 24/7 responsiveness.
  •  Look for companies that offer competitive rates without sacrificing sustainability.

• Consider sustainable practices beyond transportation:

  • Work with venues to reduce energy consumption and use renewable energy sources.
  • Look for ways to reduce the environmental impact of merchandise sales, such as using eco-friendly materials or offsetting emissions.
  •  Consider implementing sustainable practices in catering and food services, such as using locally sourced and organic ingredients.
