#Details

Is Indigenous inclusion in music line-ups genuine, or just good optics? This thought-provoking panel explores the rise of "diversity booking" and invites industry professionals to reflect on what meaningful representation truly looks like. Hear from artists and industry insiders redefining authenticity, disrupting tokenism, and helping shape a more inclusive standard of programming that resonates.

Featuring voices from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous backgrounds, these industry leaders and artists will share insights and explore what makes a line-up genuinely inclusive, how to move beyond performative gestures, and why uplifting First Nations voices benefits the entire industry and paves the way for lasting, positive change.
