Code of Conduct

At komm schon Alter, we strive to organize events where everyone feels welcome, safe, and valued. Our shared love for music, dancing, and art brings us together, and we do everything we can to create an environment where respect and inclusivity are paramount. Harassment, discrimination, or any other harmful behavior has no place here.

This Code of Conduct applies to everyone—attendees, crew, volunteers, and anyone interacting with us online. By participating in a komm schon Alter event, you agree to uphold these principles and help prevent bullying, harassment, and racism. Together, we ensure that everyone can be themselves and enjoy the festival. There will be a Social Safety Team at the festival at the Social Safety Hub, situated next to the First Aid post. 

Failure to comply with the Code of Conduct may result in measures ranging from a warning to removal from the event or a ban from future events.

Let’s create a safe, respectful, and unforgettable experience together!

Guidelines

Zero Tolerance for Harassment

We do not tolerate any form of harassment or threats, whether at the festival or on our online platforms. This includes behavior directed at someone’s:

• Race or ethnicity
• National origin
• Gender identity or expression
• Sexual orientation
• Age
• Disability (visible or invisible)
• Religion
• Citizenship status

Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

• Offensive or hurtful comments
• Physical violence
• Unwanted physical contact
• Unwanted sexual attention
• Taking unwanted photos or videos
• Bullying or stalking

What can you do if you witness this?

• Address the person directly if it feels safe
• Inform a crew member or visit the Social Safety Hub

Consent is Always Essential

Respect and consent are our top priorities. Respect others’ boundaries and communicate clearly.

Consent must always be explicit: an enthusiastic yes means yes. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, even in the middle of a conversation or dance. If someone is unsure or does not respond, this means no consent.

Accessibility and Inclusion

We want our festival to be accessible to everyone. This means:

• Wheelchair-accessible facilities
• Low-stimulus areas (located next to the First Aid station)
• Comprehensive information about available facilities and tailored assistance where possible

Do you need additional support? Let us know before the event or ask a crew member for help during the festival.

Support for Victims and Those Affected

We are always available for those who feel unsafe. What happens when you report an incident?

• Our team listens without judgment and provides appropriate care and support, including for those affected
• We take every report seriously and ensure appropriate action
• You can report anonymously if you prefer

Enjoy Responsibly

A festival is a place to relax and have fun, but we ask you to consume alcohol and other substances responsibly. Do you or someone around you need help? Our crew is here for you. Also, remember to protect your hearing and listen to your body when it needs rest.

Respect for the Environment

Help us keep the festival clean and green! Use waste stations, do not leave trash behind, and contribute to a more sustainable experience. Please also return all deposit items to the bar or another return point.

Collective Responsibility

We all contribute to a safe festival experience. Have you experienced or witnessed something concerning?

• Speak to a crew member for assistance
• Ask for our Social Safety Team or the location of the Social Safety Hub, which is trained to support you confidentially. 
• Trust that our crew will do everything possible to de-escalate threatening situations

The Social Safety Hub

The Social Safety Hub is dedicated to your mental and emotional well-being and is located next to the low-stimulus area and First Aid station. Here you can:

• Seek support if you feel physically or mentally unwell or unsafe
• Medical cases should go directly to First Aid
• Report incidents, including anonymously
• Talk to our trained team about your concerns

With these guidelines, we can ensure a festival where everyone feels welcome and safe. Let’s enjoy, dance, and take care of each other!

Saturday, 23 August 2025, at Der Hintergarten - a lush, industrial‑chic oasis nestled at Overschiestraat 188A, Amsterdam.

‍

Logistics at a glance

• Lockers will be available on-site. Secure storage for your beloved bits and bobs.

What to expect

• Two breezy outdoor areas, perfect for dancing and daydreaming.
• A Zen‑Garden Italo zone: your sacred retreat to unwind, breathe, and reset from the sensory overload.
• And hidden among the beats? Stage: Das Verlangen, our mini secret stage and unabashedly sex‑positive enclave, where connection and freedom rule.

‍

Weather forecast

Weather on 23 August: expect a delightful mix of mild sun and clouds, with highs around 19 °C (67 °F) in the early afternoon, cooling to 14–15 °C in the evening. An extra layer of clothing for later is a wunderbar idea.

Fuel for the soul

We’ve curated a tasteful spread to keep you dancing and smiling:

• Pokébowl fresh as your favourite summer track
• Taco station: spicy, cheesy, and oh‑so‑craveable
• Indonesian bites for that comforting umami hug
• Fresh fruit and snacks to keep the energy high and the vibes even higher.

Afterparty vibes

The night’s not over when the sun sets, join us at 23:00, and we’ll dance until 03:00! Tickets (€15) will be available on-site via QR codes. Easy peasy, and no tickets to print or worry about.

‍

Das Festival 2026 will take place on May 23rd from 12:00 till 23:00 at de Tuinen van West.

‍

Dear Alters,

As the heat of the season slowly begins to soften and the memories of Das Festival still sparkle behind your eyelids, I've decided that one more chapter must be written this summer—one that takes place in an intimate corner of Amsterdam where the music is just as deep, but the crowd is even closer.

Das Mini Festival will bloom on August 23rd in Der Hintergarten.

Tickets are now available via my ticketshop 🌻

NUR LIEBE.
