#Details

Is Indigenous inclusion in music line-up's genuine, or just good optics? This provocative panel dives into the rise of "diversity booking" and challenges industry gatekeepers to rethink what real representation looks like. Hear from artists and insiders redefining authenticity, disrupting tokenism, and setting a new standard for inclusive programming that resonates.

These Industry leaders and artists will explore what makes a line-up truly authentic, how to avoid performative practices, and why centering First Nations voices is essential for equity, integrity, and lasting change in music programming.
