Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and respectful space for everyone. Together, we can make this event an unforgettable and positive experience.
Racism, sexism, LGBTQIA+ hostility, sexualized violence, and any other form of discrimination or violence will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Always keep an eye on your own drinks and those of others.Respect personal boundaries. "No" means no, and "Yes" only means yes when clearly and explicitly stated. Everyone defines their own limits, and those boundaries must be respected without question.
We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels safe and respected. Look out for one another and intervene if you witness any discriminatory behavior.
The dance floor is a space of freedom - please respect others' privacy and refrain from taking photos or videos there. Outside the dancefloor, always ask for consent before photographing or filming others.
The open consumption of illegal substances is strictly prohibited on the festival grounds.
Our events are strictly 18+ - please bring a valid ID. Be mindful in the surrounding neighborhood: do not leave any trash behind.
Respect cultural identities. Do not wear symbols, hairstyles, or clothing that hold significant cultural or spiritual meaning for marginalized groups.
Our Awareness Team, identifiable by their pink vests, is available at all times for support or if you feel uncomfortable.If you feel threatened or harassed, please reach out to the team or festival staff (bar, security).
We create this space together by treating each other with respect and continually learning how to interact better. Not everyone is familiar with these topics, so please be open to learning and educating others.
Let's keep the dancefloor comfy and welcoming for everyone. We kindly ask you to keep your shirt on while dancing on the dancefloor. Going shirtless can make others feel uncomfortable and affect the safe atmosphere we all want to create. Thank you for being mindful and helping make Waves a space where everyone can enjoy themselves freely and respectfully.
If this Code of Conduct is violated, the Waves Open Air team reserves the right to remove individuals from the festival grounds. No ticket refunds will be issued in such cases.
