Here is the text on ‘Awareness’ in easy-to-read language.
awareness at the detect classic festival
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 out where to find us by checking the site map, the notices and signage on site, or by asking at any bar or speaking to anyone with a walkie-talkie. Please also feel free to talk to us if you see any barriers or need assistance to move around the site safely.
You can recognise the Awareness Team by their purple T-shirts (with ‘AWARENESS’ written on them), their orange bum bags and, at night, by the fairy lights as well.
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. In 2026, we have set up an awareness helpline again for the duration of the festival: 0151 26072715

Welcome to Detect Festival!
We want everyone to feel safe and welcome.
Everyone is welcome here.

How we treat each other:
We are kind.
We treat everyone with respect.
We respect other people’s feelings and boundaries.
We help each other.
Nobody should be left out or treated badly.

Only a clear Yes means Yes.
If something happens:
Maybe something happens that makes you feel scared.
Or someone treats you badly.
For example:
someone insults you,
someone touches you without your permission,
someone discriminates against you,
you do not feel safe.
Please come and talk to us.
You can also come if:
you feel sad,
you feel stressed,
everything is too much,
you need a break,
you are in pain,
or you just want someone to talk to.
The Awareness Team:
We listen to you.
We believe you.
We support you.
Together, we think about what helps you now.
Sometimes people must leave the festival if they put other people in danger or
discriminate against others.
Where can you find us?
There is:
an Awareness Tent,
a quiet Awareness Room,
an Awareness Garden.
The Awareness Tent is marked on the festival map.
You can also ask people at the bar, at the stages, or people with a radio.

How to recognize us:
The Awareness Team wears:

Together we make the festival a good place:
Please respect your own boundaries.
Please respect other people’s boundaries too.

Nobody is perfect.
We can all learn.
