A recent comment from a promoter highlighed on our page was that, while they would love to book more women, they’re all unavailable due to the exclusivity contracts artists sign with Parklife’s sister organisation, The Warehouse Project. Unfortunately for them, it seems like this argument doesn’t hold much weight as Parklife aren’t booking them either - The Guardian reports that 7 in ten acts on the lineup are men.

None of this should come as a surprise to anyone familiar with dance music’s premier capitalist and Parklife founder Sacha Lord, who previously blocked one of our admins on Instagram for daring to question how exclusivity contracts are in any way good for the scene. There’s always next year, eh Sacha?
