ON OWNERSHIP
In September 2021, Boiler Room was acquired by DICE. All prior investors were removed from the business, and a new board was formed. At this point, DICE owned 100% of the company.
In January 2025, DICE sold Boiler Room to Superstruct, the 2nd largest festival group in the world and who are themselves owned by KKR, which has investments that categorically do not align with our values. No Boiler Room staff at any level held any ownership or voting rights in the company and had no control over the sale. We are also unable to divest because we have no say in our ownership.
Boiler Room has been through various changes in control, investors, boards, and ownership, and through this our commitment to editorial independence and Palestine has never wavered. No investor, past or present, has ever influenced our output, this will never change.
We will always remain unapologetically pro-Palestine. We continue to adhere to BDS and PACBI guidelines regarding artist programming and brand partnerships and engage with Palestinian artists and organisers in order to formalise our internal policies in line with this commitment. We uphold international law and human rights for all, regardless of identity.
EDITORIAL MISSION
Boiler Room's editorial mission is to champion grassroots scenes in every corner of the globe. Led by the communities we serve, we empower the artists, DJs, creative minds, risk takers, and community leaders to highlight causes and tell stories from the inside out.
We are committed to continuing this work and guarantee that it will always be in the DNA of Boiler Room.
