Live Nation (NYSE:LYV) — Dec 11, 2025: MIT Climate Machine, with support from Coldplay, Warner Music Group, Live Nation, and Hope Solutions, released the first comprehensive annual carbon-accounting of live music in the U.S. and U.K.
The study covers 80,000+ events and finds fan travel drives the majority of emissions (77% U.K., 62% U.S.), food & beverage contributes 16.9% U.S., 7.6% U.K., and plant-based menus could cut food emissions by ~40%. Excluding fan travel, trucking (U.S.) and air freight (U.K. ~35%) rise as main sources. Large-format shows produce a disproportionate share. A 50+ member advisory committee supported methodology and recommendations for coordinated industry action.
