What is the Eco-Rider?

Join the movement to make touring more sustainable. Blond:ish's Bye Bye Plastic Foundation, built by and for artists, is leading the charge to eliminate single-use plastics from the music industry, already preventing over 325,000 bottles and 425,000 cups from ending up in landfills. With the Eco-Rider, adopted by 1,500+ DJs and artists worldwide, sustainability becomes simple: one rider, one show, one meaningful impact at a time.

Now, through a Bye Bye Plastic partnership with Gigwell, the Eco-Rider 2.0 integrates directly into your booking and tour management workflow, making it easier than ever for agents, artists, and promoters to take action. Customize your level of engagement, empower your team, and show the industry you care about the future of live music.

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.
