What is Wasteland Amsterdam? All about the biggest fetish party in the Netherlands
Wasteland is no ordinary party. It is a groundbreaking experience where self-expression, sensuality and creativity come together. Since 1994, Wasteland has been a vibrant hub of the international fetish scene, with spectacular events in Amsterdam and Berlin. What started as an underground phenomenon has grown into one of the largest and most respected fetish parties in the world. In this blog, you will discover all about the atmosphere, dress code and editions of Wasteland and why this event is so unique within the world of adult nightlife.
Wasteland dress code explained: what to wear to this fetish party?
Wasteland's dress code is both strict and playful. Strict, because your outfit determines your entrance. Without appropriate clothing, you simply won't get in. Playful, because the dress code leaves room for fantasy, creativity and personal style. Where many fetish parties limit themselves to leather and latex, Wasteland encourages visitors to think beyond: Fetish Glamour, Steampunk, Body Art, Burlesque and more. Here, it's not about material or nudity, but expression. Show who you are, or who you want to be that night.

How strict is the outfit check at Wasteland? Here's what you need to know about the dress code
Wasteland is about more than just a fun outfit; the dress code is an essential part of the experience. The famous "doorbitch" sees to it that every visitor meets the high standard of creativity and imagination. This may even mean that your clothes will be physically checked to assess whether they meet the requirements. Tickets will not be refunded if your outfit is not up to scratch, and the doorbitch's decision is always final.
If your outfit can also be worn to another party without batting an eye, chances are it does not meet the Wasteland dress code. The doorbitch pays attention not only to material or amount of nudity, but especially to how visible your creativity and imagination are. Wasteland demands a contribution to the atmosphere. Your outfit should be part of the experience.
