Infected Mushroom Cancels Over Festival's Anti-Apartheid Policy
Published on 7.9.25
The Earth Frequency Festival (EFF) has faced controversy over its "ethical artist policy", written by Subhi Awad, head of the Northern Rivers Friends of Palestine Group. The policy, aimed at rejecting racism, apartheid, or genocide, was met with opposition from Israeli duo Infected Mushroom, who cancelled their planned performance after being asked to sign it. The festival's decision has sparked debate, with Awad calling for a boycott of Infected Mushroom on social media, citing their support for the Israeli government's actions in Gaza.
