FESTIVAL FIRST AID · FOR MATES

What To Do

Most of the time, help doesn't arrive wearing a uniform. It arrives wearing the same wristband as you. When something goes wrong, it's usually friends, strangers, or the people stood nearby who step in first. This space is here to show what you can actually do while help is on the way. Simple actions that keep someone safe, calm and if called for, breathing. People already want to help. We just give you the knowledge and confidence to do it properly. Take a few minutes now while you're sat chilling so if the moment ever comes where someone needs you to step up, you will feel ready to step in.

Start quick check Call 999

Get urgent help if any of these are true: unresponsive, not breathing normally, seizure, very hot and confused, severe breathing trouble, severe allergic reaction, or you suspect alcohol or drug poisoning.

999

Miss K’s 60-second quick check

1) Safe to approach? 2) Do they respond? 3) Are they breathing normally? If they’re not responding and breathing isn’t normal, call 999 and start CPR. If they’re breathing normally but not responding, recovery position and get medics.

Breathing tip: gasping, snoring-like, or occasional breaths are not normal. If you’re unsure, go early and get help.

Planet Plush The World Of Miss K

Planet Plush isn’t about extremes — it’s about finding balance in a chaotic universe.
Miss K knows that life can be intense, numbing, or overwhelming — but softness, stillness, and self-awareness bring you back to centre.

Whether you’re floating through the stars or feeling stuck in shadow, pause, breathe, and check in.
Use with intention, not escape. Rest when you need to. Speak kindly to yourself.

You don’t need to feel everything — or nothing — all at once.
Planet Plush teaches that healing lives in the in-between.

Planet Rubble - The World Of Pink Cocaine

On Planet Rubble, nothing’s quite what it seems.
“Pink cocaine” might look cute — but it’s often a chaotic mix of unknown chemicals, and no two batches are the same.

Some blends contain 2C-B, others include MDMA, ketamine, or speed — and some have no psychedelic at all.
The effects range from euphoric to unpredictable to downright dangerous.

Start tiny, test if you can, and don’t mix it with anything else.
It hits harder than it looks — especially when snorted.
Avoid redosing until you really know how your body reacts.

Planet Rubble is unstable terrain — tread lightly.

Planet Vibe - The World Of Speed

Speed keeps you going — but on Planet Vibe, too much can burn you out fast. You might feel focused, energised, or chatty, but that high can quickly tip into anxiety, tension, or paranoia.

Lack of sleep, not eating, and redosing too often can wreck both body and mind.
Overheating and heart strain are real risks — especially when dancing for hours.

Eat well, sip water, and take breaks.
Avoid mixing with alcohol or other uppers, and don’t use for days on end.
Rest and recovery matter more than you think.

Planet Vibe runs on rhythm — not overdrive.

Planet kE - The World Of Cocaine

Cocaine can make you feel confident, chatty, and wired — but it’s also fast, intense, and risky. On Planet Kilo, your heart races, your jaw tightens, and the comedown can hit hard.

Short-lasting highs lead many to redose quickly, but that’s when paranoia, anxiety, and crashes creep in.
It’s easy to cross the line — especially in crowded or unfamiliar spaces.

Chop small. Don’t chase it. Avoid mixing with alcohol or other drugs.
Stay cool, stay calm, and know when to stop.

Planet Kilo rewards pacing, not pushing.

Planet Myco - The World Of Plecybin

Magic mushrooms can open the mind and shift perception — but they’re powerful and unpredictable. On Planet Myco, time can stretch, visuals can bloom, and emotions can feel intense.
Start with a low dose in a safe, comfortable setting, ideally with someone you trust.

Avoid mixing with other substances, especially alcohol.
Trips can last 4–6 hours, and while many feel joyful or insightful, some can be overwhelming.

Stay grounded. Stay hydrated. And remember — the setting shapes the journey.

Planet Woah - The World Of LSD

LSD can take your mind on wild adventures — but Planet Woah isn’t always easy to navigate.
Visuals, thoughts, and emotions become intensely amplified, and the trip can last 8–12 hours.

Set and setting are everything.
If you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or in a chaotic place, the experience can spiral into confusion or fear.
Bad trips feel very real — even though they’ll pass.

Start low. Stay safe. Be somewhere calm with people you trust.
Avoid mirrors, crowded spaces, and mixing with other substances.

Planet Woah is powerful — respect the journey.

Planet E - The World Of MDMA (ecstacy)

MDMA can feel like pure connection — open hearts, glowing faces, and waves of love.
But on Planet E, what starts magical can turn risky without care.

Overheating, dehydration, and redosing are the biggest dangers.
MDMA also hits harder when mixed with alcohol, stimulants, or SSRIs — and once your serotonin is spent, chasing the high just leads to a crash.

Start low, wait at least 2 hours before redosing (if at all), and sip water slowly — no more than a pint an hour.
Take breaks, look after your mates, and know that less is often more.

Planet E shines brightest when you party with your head and your heart.

Planet PaRa - The World Of Ketamine

Ketamine creates a floaty, dream like state – but it’s not a party drug to take lightly.  can completely shut down movement and awareness the (K-hole), and regular use can wreck your bladder and mental health. Watch your dose. avoid mixing and always stay safe and grounded.

Planet 420 - The Home Of Bud & Blunt

Planet 420 moves at its own pace. Conversations run deep, snacks disappear, and time melts into laughter and thought.
Bud & Blunt aren’t in a rush — and they’ll be the first to tell you that’s the point.

Cannabis may feel mellow, but it’s not risk-free.
Too much too fast can cause anxiety, paranoia, or greening out.
Edibles hit differently — wait at least 1–2 hours before considering more.

Respect your limits, stay hydrated, and don’t mix with alcohol or other drugs.
Sometimes the deepest vibe is just being fully present.

Planet 420 isn’t about escape — it’s about connection.
