The organisers of Stereosonic, one of Australia's biggest music festivals, have given their in-principle support for pill testing.

Totem OneLove, who organise the dance music festival, said in a statement that they strongly supported any policies that would minimise harm, reduce drug use and make events safer for patrons.

"In principle pill testing would have our full support as long as all the key stakeholders sanctioned the initiative to ensure its effectiveness," a statement on the Totem OneLove website said.

"We would strongly support any policies or initiatives that would minimise harm, reduce drug use and make events a safer environment for patrons."

The move comes in the wake of a Four Corners investigation which revealed the number of ecstasy users presenting at NSW hospitals had almost doubled in the past six years, and aired calls for police to introduce pill testing at festivals to keep revellers safe.

A team of medical professionals are planning to roll out pill testing at musical festivals in New South Wales, claiming the measure would save lives.

Doctor Alex Wodak, president of the Drug Law Reform Foundation and one of the doctors behind the plan, said the team planned to go ahead with the move with or without the support of the NSW Government.

But NSW Premier Mike Baird ruled out ever supporting a pill-testing scheme and called it an "absolutely ridiculous proposal".

Mr Baird said the method police were using to combat drug use was working.

He said there was a safe way to go about pills and "that is don't take them".

Mr Baird's approach echoed that of the Police Minister Troy Grant who had previously said that there was no proof that pill testing would help the situation and the way the Government approached drugs would not change on his watch.

John Wall, the co-founder of Fuzzy, which is behind Field Day, Listen Out and Harbour Life told the ABC that he would like pill testing at his events, but first needed to look into the legal consequences.

"We support encouraging people to think and take responsibility for what they're doing," Mr Wall said.

"So you know it's something that we think should happen and we support it.

"It's tricky, all our events are held on government land."

Seven people have died after allegedly taking drugs at music festivals across Australia in the past 12 months.

The statement also added: "unfortunately, drug use is an issue effecting all Australians and is not limited to events".

The 2015 Stereosonic tour saw two drug-related deaths — one in Sydney and one in Adelaide.
