Our guidelines for a safe Paradise City.

1. A zero-tolerance policy

We celebrate the uniqueness of our visitors and we aim to provide a space where everybody feels safe and accepted. Ensuring the wellbeing of everyone is our top priority. We know that many individuals have experienced situations that made them feel unsafe and uncomfortable. Therefore, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and any other form of intimidation. Acts of physical or psychological violence are strictly prohibited. We firmly condemn bullying, harassment, stealing or vandalizing. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, including sexism, racism, ableism, homo- or transphobia, and any other form of bias. Safety is not a trend. It’s a fundamental human right.

If you ever feel unsafe, uncomfortable, unwell or encounter unwanted behaviour, please reach out to our Angels. Or inform security, bar staff or any staff members who will connect you with the Angels, our safety team. The Angels of Paradise can be recognized by their pink vests and they will be present throughout the festival. These are well-informed people who are aware of our policies and procedures. They - and we -are here to offer you help and to assist you to the best of our abilities. Any breach of these rules or discriminatory behaviour will result in exclusion from the festival.

2. Boundaries and personal space

Take into account your own boundaries. Be mindful of the energy you bring with you. We kindly ask everyone to respect personal space while dancing. It is crucial to respect individual boundaries and to act accordingly to the principle of consent. Only a clear and enthusiastic “yes” means “yes”. So please, ask for consent.

Furthermore, we expect all festivalgoers to respect the sexualities, identities and bodies of those around you. The space belongs to everyone. Do not make any discriminatory or inappropriate comment regarding somebody’s appearance, gender expression, sexuality, religious expression, disability and/or ethnicity. At Paradise City, we welcome people as they are. Everyone has the right to enjoy music, it is as simple as that. Respecting everyone’s body and consent is the key to ensuring a positive and enjoyable festival-experience for all.

3. Drugs

Consumption of drugs is prohibited on our premises. Even more, anyone found to be drugging someone else without their knowledge will be reported to the authorities.

Be aware of the behavioural consequences when using substances (alcohol is also a drug!). Stay hydrated 😇. We encourage you to party safely. Know your limits and know your body. Preserve your physical, emotional and psychological health. When in doubt, go easy on yourself, and don’t forget to look after your friends.

You and you alone should have a say in what you consume. Peer pressure is challenging to overcome, but recognising everyone has their own way of partying is essential. Please, don’t be ashamed to be sober, but also, don’t hesitate to ask for help.
