Agencies already on the plastic-free mission

At EMPIRE & Dirtybird, we’ve always believed music can spark movements. Partnering with Gigwell to support the Eco-Rider is a natural extension of that mission—because building culture means building responsibly. Every plastic-free show is proof that the industry can align artistry with action, and we’re excited to be part of pushing that change forward.

As touring artists, the small choices we make every day add up. Eco-Rider 2.0 gives my team clear, practical steps to lower our touring footprint, and when artists, venues and crews align around it, making better choices becomes the default backstage.
