First-Ever Green-Battery-Powered Concert Tour

Danish singer-songwriter Lukas Graham has teamed up with the renewable-technology company Vestas to launch a tour that will replace carbon-emitting diesel generators with transportable batteries containing green electricity to power six outdoor shows throughout Denmark. This is a significant step toward a greener music industry. The approach, according to the release, cuts carbon emissions produced during a show by up to 98.5%.

Graham says, “As time goes by, I’ve become more aware of the world I live in – aware of the fact, that we’ve got a shared responsibility for our future and that we’ve only got one Earth to pass on to our children.  Hopefully, it will inspire people from other industries to seek alternative and greener ways instead of just doing what we know and have always done. It’s the little things that make a big difference – if we do it together.”

Vestas CEO Henrik Andersen adds, “At Vestas, we know the technologies needed to reduce carbon emissions already exist, we just need more industries to use them.

Following his 2016 smash “Blue Album” — featuring the global hit “7 Years” — and its follow up “The Purple Album,” Graham is slated to release “The Pink Album” later this year.
