DOZENS of revellers have been caught trying to smuggle drugs into the Future Music Festival at Randwick today, as Sydney enjoys its biggest weekend of live music for the year.

NSW Police caught 60 people bringing illicit drugs into the Randwick Racecourse this afternoon as officers came out in force to keep festival-goers safe.

One reveller was taken to hospital for intoxication and another for an ankle injury.

Thousands of revellers descended on the Randwick venue for the festival, which kicked off this afternoon. Across the other side of the city, the two-day Soundwave Festival is being held at Homebush at Olympic Park today and tomorrow.

Adding the listening extravaganza, the Goodlife under-18 music festival will replace Future Music at Randwick tomorrow.

Police are out in force at both festivals today after 11 people were allegedly caught with illicit drugs at a Camden music festival yesterday and after two teenage girls were rushed to hospital overnight after taking drugs at an out of control house party.

The warning came after the recent dancefloor drug overdose tragedies of Sydney teenagers Georgina Barrter and Tolga Toksoz.

Police and paramedics found two 15-year-old girls in states of semiconscious and dozens of young people spilling onto Greycliffe Street, Queenscliff house party last night.

The girls were rushed to Royal North Shore Hospital for treatment while police worked to disperse the crowd.

Neighbours were unable to access their homes with multiple police vehicles surrounding the area.

One resident said a crowd of at least 30 people were on the street breaking bottles and yelling.

Police charged six people for allegedly possessing ecstasy, cocaine and cannabis at the Secret Garden Music Festival on Brownlow Hill Loop Rd on Friday on the first day of the two-day festival.

Police dog patrols searched 75 people for drug possession out of the 2500 who attended Friday’s event.

Police presence at both festivals today will include the Dog Unit, Mounted Unit, Licensing Police and Police Transport Command.

Police resources will then remain at Randwick Racecourse tomorrow for the Under 18 Goodlife Festival, starting at midday.

South West Metropolitan Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Frank Mennilli said both uniformed and plain clothes police will be on hand targeting illicit drug use and supply, alcohol related crime and anti-social behaviour.

Mr Mennilli, who is leading the police operation for Soundwave Festival at Olympic Park, said having police resources stretched across several festivals was “unfortunate”.

He said despite the shortage, there would be about 180 police officers patrolling Olympic Park on both days.

“It does have an impact on resources and unfortunately it’s a lot more common where we have more than one event,” Mr Mennilli said.

“The reality is, the more dogs and the more police we have, the more arrests we’ll make.

“Our strategy for Soundwave is to have a drug dog at the transport lines, railway station, outside entry points at Olympic park and also inside the event.

“While the majority of the crowd enjoys the festival safely, there are an unfortunate few who choose to break the law,” Assistant Commissioner Mennilli said.

“Police in and around the showground will be focused on anyone taking or dealing illicit drugs, underage drinking, anti-social behaviour and alcohol fuelled violence.

“We will not tolerate this kind of behaviour and those who choose to do the wrong thing can expect to be caught and dealt with accordingly.

“I also want to remind revellers that recreational drugs are not only illegal, but they can also be very harmful to your health, you simply do not know what you’re putting inside your body.”

Anyone who tries to bring alcohol or drugs into the venue this weekend can expect to be intercepted by police.

“Both overt and covert police will target anyone taking or dealing drugs and they’ll be assisted by drug detection dogs,” Assistant Commissioner Mennilli said.

“I also want to reiterate that the Sydney Olympic Park precinct is an alcohol-free zone and it’s an offence to be in possession of open containers of alcohol on Sydney Trains property.

“Officers from the Police Transport Command will be patrolling trains, stations and transport hubs so anyone planning to have a few drinks on the way to the festival can expect to have it confiscated.”

St John Ambulance volunteers will also be at the event, and anyone under the influence of drugs, excessive alcohol consumption or who feels unwell is urged to seek proper medical care immediately.

Ticketholders should also plan ahead and know how you’re getting to and from the festival.

Parking will be limited at the event and so people are encouraged to leave the car at home and catch public transport.
