Field Day Festival Trial Drug Checking
Update: 2025-12-29
Description
Field Day, one of Sydneys longest-running music festivals, is enhancing safety measures with a new onsite drug checking trial. This state-approved pilot, running for a year, allows festivalgoers to voluntarily test their substances with health staff. The goal is to provide real-time information, promoting smarter choices and reducing risks. This initiative comes after a government drug summit recommended the checks, following a report of sixty-four drug-related deaths at Australian music festivals over the past two decades. Field Day is proud to lead this harm minimization effort, aiming for safer scenes across the state.
