"In the past, we like all musicians, were oblivious to the large footprint we would create when touring, including flying between cities, using large tour trucks, and at events, drawing on significant use of power for lighting and production.

"We and the audience were drinking from plastic water bottles, using plastic straws and food utensils, and leaving large rubbish piles of unconsumed waste," Ross Wilson said.

Performances will be held at wineries during the day, limiting electricity use needed for lighting while the wineries Wineries are will provide water refill stations and use local food suppliers.

Each show is capped at 500 people, and band members are travelling to and from the venues by electric cars, donated by The Good Car Company.

With supports from The Badloves and King Canyon featuring Jimmy Cupples and unannounced local acts, Ross will donate $2 from each ticket sale to Green Music, as well as $1 per ticket sale to Support Act.

"I want to be a part of this important change as we forge a new way forward to entertain, with the objective to leave a minimal footprint after each event.

"As Aussie musicians start to embrace this responsible movement, the Cool World tour is also contributing to setting a new template for the music industry," he said.
