Music brings people together. It unites and inspires. It’s a universal language understood by everyone, no matter our differences. That’s why AB is doing everything possible to ensure that every concert is a safe and pleasant experience for every visitor.
Welcome to AB
AB is an open house where everyone is welcome, regardless of gender, sex, culture, ability, religion or ethnicity. There’s no place here for discrimination, homophobia, intimidation, unwanted sexual advances or aggression.
An engaged organisation
Of course, creating a safe, healthy environment starts from within. That’s why, at AB, we strive for a culture of openness and engagement. By training our staff, we invest in strengthening and promoting our values. If a staff member does experience transgressive behaviour, they always have access to our counsellors.
Someone’s always there to help
Our staff are trained to recognise transgressive behaviour in public and take appropriate action. See something that’s not right, or feel unsafe? Talk to one of our stewards, security or bar staff. During nighttime events, we have an extra awareness team. Look after yourself and others.
Aftercare and support
It’s important to us to keep caring for our visitors even after the concert. Do you have something to report in the following days? Email us at care@abconcerts.be. If you’ve experienced transgressive behaviour at a concert, you can request specialised help via AB.
Inclusive programme
Our dedication to a safe and inclusive environment extends to our programme. Our artistic team carefully curates the concert schedule, bringing artists from different cultures and diverse backgrounds to our stage to present a wide range of voices and stories. Artists who do not share our values of inclusivity and equality will not find a platform at AB.
Our integrity policy
With our integrity policy, we aim to prevent all forms of transgressive behaviour and react appropriately when needed. To this end, we both raise awareness and take formal action. Our internal task group continuously reevaluates our policy.
Together, we’ll make every concert a wonderful experience. See you soon at AB!
