1) The Party Traffickers 00:00 With the UK festival market booming like never before, investigative journalist Livvy Haydock meets the people on the dark side of Britain’s festival season. In this episode, Livvy meets dealers who plan to traffic drugs out of the UK, in order to sell to festival attendees in Paris.
Livvy makes contact with two drug dealers named Jacket and Houdini in the UK, as they target the domestic festival market. They allow her access to view their drug-cooking process, revealing that they blend rat poison into the drugs they make to boost profits. When Livvy challenges them on the dangers of using rat poison, they claim it is common practice, and that their customers would not care.
Wearing hidden cameras, the duo record themselves selling their product inside a UK festival, where they make enough profit for stage two of the festival moneymaking scheme - targeting festival-goers abroad.
Livvy follows the duo to Paris where they plan to sell their drugs to festival-goers at an electro festival. Wearing hidden cameras, they show Livvy how they smuggle drugs across the border, evading police and security.
Once they arrive in Paris, the pressure is on to sell all the gear they have brought out, with only two days to make their profits before they return to the UK. However, when they reach the festival they discover that security is much tighter than what they have experienced at UK festivals.
On reflection of the disastrous trip, Livvy questions the pair on their success, and asks whether ultimately it was worth it.
2) The Corrupt Guards 29:56
With the UK festival market booming like never before, investigative journalist Livvy Haydock goes undercover and meets the people on the dark side of Britain’s festival season. In this episode, Livvy goes in search of the corrupt guards who are paid to transport drugs aiming to supply the UK festival market.
Livvy meets a security whistle-blower who shares his concerns about security weaknesses at festivals, and how the system leads to corrupt guards, who aren’t subject to the same checks as festivalgoers, exploiting their roles to get drugs into events.
He explains how security work is outsourced over and over again, until security jobs at festivals are casually advertised in online groups on social media. As the number of music festivals rises, he believes that desperate organisers will do anything to provide the manpower to cover the events, and in doing so are watering down both the checks and the quality of staff.
Livvy makes contact with one of these security guards, who transports drugs on behalf of gangs using a doctored security licence from the black market. He reveals that he can earn up to £1000 from gangs for each delivery instead of the average £80 a day that security guards can expect to earn.
On the day of the festival, he agrees to wear a hidden camera so Livvy can see how he attempts to get £25,000 worth of drugs to dealers at the festival, despite the risks of a potential arrest for possession with intent to supply, which can be punishable with life imprisonment.
Livvy goes undercover at festivals across the country to investigate the measures taken by security to stop drugs coming in. In doing so, she uncovers huge gaps in security operations at festivals across the country.
3) The Deadly Pushers 53:50
With the UK festival market booming like never before, investigative journalist Livvy Haydock meets the people on the dark side of Britain’s festival season. In this episode, Livvy gains access to a gang getting ready to target the UK festival scene with MDMA and cocaine.
The gang reveals that for a dealer, festival season and the illicit drug market it attracts is like Christmas. The gang buys up to 20 festival tickets in bulk, wraps and distributes drugs to event-ready dealers and plans the logistics for a military-style festival takeover.
Livvy meets the gang, gaining an understanding of each role they take in the business of flooding festivals with drugs. One prepares the drugs for the festivals and distributes them to his most trusted dealers, co- ordinating the gang’s workers; another stashes knives on the event ground before the festival barriers are set up; and another brings in and sells drugs evading police and security, and wielding knives to fend off rival gangs.
Super-strength MDMA is on the rise in the UK. In the last two years, there have been 12 confirmed drug-related deaths inside UK festivals. Livvy goes undercover inside festivals and encounters dealers selling openly despite the heavy security presence.
Meanwhile, the gang continues to target festivals, and at the end of the summer Livvy catches up with them to find out if everything went to plan, and whether they feel any guilt for being involved in the drugs industry.
