Platforming Responsibility and Inclusivity Statement

At Earth Frequency Festival, our community is everything. We strive to build a culture rooted in creativity, connection, diversity and celebration, and that culture only thrives when everyone feels safe, welcomed, and valued.

As organisers, we understand that the people we platform - whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in collaborative roles - reflect who we are and what we stand for. Platforming is not a neutral act; it signals alignment, even tacitly.

We will not engage with individuals or entities who publicly express views, share content or embody actions which promote hate, discrimination, bigotry, or violence. This includes racism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, xenophobia, and support for acts of war or political violence. Conversely, we will not boycott artists because of their nationality or the actions of their government.

Our stance is not about silencing dissent or navigating identity politics - it’s about protecting the sanctity of a space we’ve all helped build. A space where difference is honoured, where every person can dance and connect without fear, and where mutual respect isn’t optional, it’s foundational.

We acknowledge the complexities of the world we live in and recognise that people are shaped by a diversity of experiences. But when it comes to public behaviour - especially in an era where harm can travel instantly and virally - we believe in setting a clear line.

Earth Frequency will continue to:

• Vet our bookings and collaborations with care.

• Address concerns transparently and fairly.

• Prioritise restorative dialogue where appropriate.

• Respond appropriately and professionally to any concerns raised about a situation where there is conflict between our core inclusivity principles and the actions or messaging from one of our collaborators or participants.

Our primary mission and fundamental wish is to create a welcoming space where anyone can feel safe and accepted, and to promote love and unity through art and culture in its many diverse forms. This policy has been developed to preserve and to strengthen the wonderful space that has been created over 20 years by many different people.

With love and respect,

The Earth Frequency Festival Team

Earth Frequency Ethical Commitment

Earth Frequency is a space for connection, creativity, and collective care. We believe in safety, equality, and fairness for all people. We recognise our responsibility to support positive change and stand for shared values.

We ask all artists and participants to understand and acknowledge our ethical commitment:

1. EFF recognises the Sovereign First Nations Community, whose history should be remembered and heard, and whose voices must be respected, elevated and considered in all respects when we walk on Country, care for Country and one another. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.

2. EFF stands for fairness, inclusion, and equality, and we oppose all forms of racism and oppression - including antisemitism, islamophobia, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and other forms of division and bigotry.

3. EFF maintains an ethical stance to not align with bigotry, violence, and human rights abuses.

This simple invitation to join us will be sent to all currently booked artists, and included in all future engagement offers. It is intended to clarify our approach to inclusivity and platforming responsibility, and to show compassion and support to the situation happening right now in Gaza, and to the victims of terrorist attacks such as the October 7 Nova Festival.

Beyond this, we will always continue to strive for improvement, acknowledge any blind spots we may have and welcome any feedback from our beautifully diverse community.
