Security matters and regulations

It is not difficualt for festival visitors to follow three important safety regulations below. We also hope that people will respect and pass on the spirit of three security specifications during the festival. Other security related assignments will be carried out by our well-trained professional and team staff who are all-time on-duty. Their job is specifically to be responsible for the safety of the audience. At situations of any uneasiness in the audience they will be at place immediately. Visitors can recognize them by their security signs.

First: next time she or he will do the same for you

In the crow, the person next to you may be your friend or a stranger, or even speak a different language. However, since the moment you attended the festival, you all have become a community, thus it becomes a resposibility to care for the people around you. If she or he seems to feel uncomfortable or anxious, you can reach out and offer your help. She or he will also do the same to help you and others. If she/he passes out, be sure to help her/him up; if she looks sick, help her to go for medical care.

Second: listen - for your own safety

Safety information will be brought over by the big screen, the sound system and the on-site security maintenance staff, can of course also be achieved through other means. Important notations and announcements will be broadcast through the speakers, performing artists will interrupt their show to ensure everyone's safety. It is most important for the safety of yours and others to carefully listen in cases of such important security announcements which is formulated in easy to understand phrases and released by the security chief advisor of of the festival.

Third: guard safety for the crowd

Visitors often attending large-scale music festivals may be familiar with this kind of festival staff - the on-site security guards, they are ready to help in security matters for everyone, they are the guaranty of security of festival performances and the audience. When you encounter difficulties, or you dropped your belongings out of reach places (restricted areas), you can ask the security staff to help out. So when you or the one next to you would need help, please do not hesitate and contact them.

The On-site Emergency Team

In order to solve difficualt situations that the general service staff can not cope with, we have established a special instrument - the On-site Emergancy Team.

The On-site Emergancy Team stands under the administration of the Emergency Response Office, and their function differs from the police. During the process of issues handling they will try to avoid physical contact and prevent things to escalate violently. As for trouble causing individuals or in case of fights, the On-site Emergancy Team is in charge to stop aggressive acts, if not successful the police will be informed. On-site Emergancy Team will usually watch over things at given spots and will stay in contact with the Emergency Response Office. They can be addressed to help and resolve conflicts or to defuse the crisis.
