Camp Cope Continue Falls Festival Stand: 'It's Bullshit & We've Had Enough'

Camp Cope have continued to take a stand against the lack of female acts on the Falls Festival line-up, as well as reports of sexual assault at the shows, this time speaking out during their set at the Fremantle event.

As reported by The Music WA reviewer, Mark Beresford, singer Georgia Maq addressed the controversy at the end of the Melbourne band's set on Sunday.

"It's not about filling a quota, it's not about all that fucking rubbish..." Maq said.

"It's about the type of world we want to see in music, we want an equal, diverse and inclusive music community, because that’s what it is.

"It's not represented properly on festival line-ups or in big shows, it's bullshit and we've had enough of it."

Maq's comments come after the trio called on fellow Falls Festival acts to join them in taking a stand against sexual assault at music festivals with the release of a t-shirt that reads, "The person wearing this shirt stands against sexual assault and demands a change".

Over the two-day Freo festival, Alex Lahey, Ecca Vandal and Stella Donnelly were spotted wearing the shirt during their own sets, as well as members of DZ Death Rays, Dune Rats, Luca Brasi, Total Giovanni, Thundamentals, Bad//Dreems and Winston Surfshirt.

The topic backstage reached as far as festival headliners and US hip hop duo Run The Jewels who paused towards the end of their festival closing set for member Killer Mike to remind their audience "Don't put your hands on a woman unless there is consent".

Meanwhile Stella Donnelly has also called out Falls and alleged her friends who were scanning tickets on the day were "groped".

The Perth songwriter wrote on an Instagram story, "Hey @fallsfestival, do you think people like Julia Jacklin, Camp Cope and Jen Cloher actually enjoy having to call you out? You think it's just for fun or attention?

"If you read the online abuse that women who speak out receive you would realise how NOT fun it is, much like the groping and verbal harassment that women receive in real life at your festival."

The Music has contacted Falls organisers for comment.
