Hayden Homes Amphitheater Sets the Standard for Sustainability in Live Entertainment
Congratulations to our Green Team, recipients of multiple Live Nation Sustainability Awards!
Hayden Homes Amphitheater continues to lead the industry in sustainable venue operations, delivering consistent, measurable results that make every show more environmentally responsible. During the 2025 season, the venue achieved zero waste (above 90% landfill diversion) through its commitment to eliminating single-use plastic water bottles, reducing overall waste, and empowering fans to make greener choices.
The venue’s dedicated Green Team sorts every bin, reuses trash bags between shows, and ensures materials are properly diverted. Their work resulted in less than one ounce of waste per guest this season. That equates to less than a 1 oz shot of espresso worth of waste per patron. In total, Hayden Homes Amphitheater recycled more than 62,000 pounds and composted more than 94,000 pounds of material. These efforts are supported in partnership with OnPoint Community Credit Union, the venue’s official Sustainability Partner, whose commitment helps advance and amplify the venue’s environmental initiatives.
Fan participation remains central to the venue’s sustainability efforts, too. Fans are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles and use free refill stations, helping the venue avoid more than 89,000 single-use plastic bottles in 2025. Additional efforts included solar-powered phone charging stations and the continued use of more than 400 bike racks across the venue making low-impact transportation even more accessible.
As a result of these herculean efforts the team brought home the award for #1 Highest Diversion: Boutique Amphitheater, and #1 Highest Rebate Redemption Value, in addition to hitting all the bench marks necessary to make the Mumford & Son's tour a zero waste tour!
BIG congratulations to the entire Green Team, and to our Sustainability Managers Justin Alvarado and Peggy Lovejoy. Special thank you to Live Nation for the recognition, to our Official Sustainability Sponsor OnPoint Community Credit Union, all of the food vendors and venue staff, Cascade Disposal, Knott Landfill, and to all the patrons who support our environmental values. We look forward to seeing what new heights we can reach in 2026.
