Diversify The Stage launches inclusivity pledge for live music
The Keychange campaign has been doing great work towards making festival lineups and other events more diverse in terms of the people on stage. But it’s not alone.
US counterpart Diversify The Stage is also getting up a head of steam with its efforts to “establish more inclusive hiring practices and greater access to equitable opportunities in live music, events, and touring industries”. Its latest campaign is an inclusivity pledge, launched this week with backing already from Live Nation, AEG and the key talent agencies.
“One thing we all really agreed on is that there needs to be a standard practice across the board for all of the companies to really adhere to in order for this to really have any type of effect,” founder Noelle Scaggs told Variety.
