For one weekend, the Detect Festival is a temporary home for our guests, artists, and contributors. A home is a place to feel comfortable. We want everyone to feel that way here.
We want people to come together through music, regardless of their origin, gender, disability, or religion. Everyone—no matter what age—is welcome at the Detect Classic Festival.
That's why we have rules that everyone should follow:
We respect boundaries, accept personal space, are sensitive and empathetic, learn from each other, and look out for one another.
No means no. And only yes means yes.
If boundaries are crossed, if you feel harassed, discriminated against, or simply uncomfortable, or if you witness such behavior in others, our awareness team is available around the clock. If you are feeling uncertain, sad, are experiencing PMS, feeling overexcited, stressed—you name it—you are welcome here.
Feel free to drop by, even if you're not in dire need and just want to take a breather or ask a question.
We listen, offer support if desired, and focus on making the space safer for those affected. This applies to all forms of discrimination. In certain cases, expulsion may also be a possible consequence.
There is an awareness contact point on our premises in the form of a tent and an adjacent awareness garden. In addition, there is a quieter awareness room located indoors.
You can find our tent marked on the site map. You can also find out how to reach us on every floor, at every bar, and from anyone with a radio. Please also feel free to talk to us if you see any barriers or need assistance to move around the site safely.
You can recognize the mobile awareness team by their purple shirts (with AWARENESS lettering), orange bum bags, and, at night, by their fairy lights.
We would like to point out that we want everyone to take collective responsibility. Awareness is not just a service—we all create awareness together.
We are all responsible for ensuring that this festival can take place in a spirit of gentleness, joy, pleasure, wonder, and peace, and, ideally, in letting go of everyday life. We all help shape how people interact at Detect.
Respect your own boundaries and those of others and be attentive to any form of discrimination.
Anyone can be a discriminatory person and is jointly responsible for the behavior of their own crew/circle of friends!
If people address you about your behavior, do not take the criticism as a personal attack, but as a hint and an opportunity to learn.
Boundaries are individual and can therefore be crossed at different levels.
We have the OKF (topless) rule: Feel free to go topless, but cover your nipples – be creative in how you do this. If necessary, you can pick up nipple patches at the awareness tent. If you have any questions, please feel free to talk to us.
National flags are not allowed at our festival.
Nationalist symbols, symbols glorifying National Socialism, and symbols inciting violence are prohibited at our festival! Anyone appearing in such a manner will be addressed and risks being immediately removed from the premises. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
We want to create a diversity-friendly space and enable peaceful coexistence away from everyday life.
We wish you a childlike, multi-faceted time of discovery at Detect and hope that you take home many good memories and feel supported in difficult moments.
If you have any suggestions, questions, or criticism before, during, or after the festival, please feel free to write to us at awareness@detectclassicfestival.de
