Camp Cope used their set at Falls Festival in Byron Bay to call out the lack of female talent on this year's line-up.

While performing their track, The Opener (a song about inequality in the music industry), singer Georgia Maq changed some of the lyrics to call out the annual NYE event.

"It's another man telling us we can't fill up a tent, it's another fucking festival booking only nine women," Maq sang to huge applause from the packed-out crowd.

The Melbourne trio shared footage from the set on their Instagram and alongside a clip of them performing Lost (Season One), wrote a caption that reads, "maybe they’ll never get it (putting women higher on a bill)".

The Music has contacted Falls Festival for comment.

The comments come after bass player Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich wrote a guest editorial piece for The Music and discussed Camp Cope's "overall experience being non-male in the music industry".
