said Michael Martin, Senior Vice President of Programming and Music
Initiatives, Audacy. “We can all do a little more to help protect
and preserve our planet, and this event allowed us to unite with
five great partners to promote easy, sustainable practices to live
healthier lifestyles.”
With the sun beaming down on day one of Audacy Beach Festival,
Glass Animals elevated the crowd with their top hit “Heat Waves.”
Later, fans were dancing throughout an epic performance from Steve
Aoki before The Lumineers serenaded attendees with new music from
their upcoming album “Brightside.” Twenty One Pilots closed out the
evening with top hits and surprise covers from various artists
during a campfire acoustic set. Day two continued with jams from

before Weezer sent the South Florida crowd to “Beverly Hills” and
into a frenzy with their renditions of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman”

As part of Audacy's 1Thing sustainability initiative to promote
positive environmental practices and living, “Audacy Beach
Festival” committed a portion of ticket sales to support REVERB, a
501c3 nonprofit dedicated to empowering millions of individuals to
take action toward a better future for people and the planet, and
its Music Climate Revolution campaign focused clean energy and
carbon fighting projects. Audacy’s 1Thing initiative also teamed up
with Celebration of the Sea Foundation (CSF), the Guy Harvey Ocean
Foundation (GHOF), Faith Farm Ministries, and Conservation
International to promote ocean conservation and sustainability.
Sustainability practices included paperless tickets, digital
signage, refill water stations, and more. Proceeds of the event’s
reusable water bottles sold benefitted ocean conservation and
educational initiatives through the CSF and GHOF. Excess food was
rescued by Faith Farm Ministries and a donation to Conservation
International will plant a tree for every festival attendee.
