Firefly! A coworker was there for five or six days. He slept for 30 hours afterwards. I saw him last night, and he tells me, "Yea it was a ton of fun. The four of us got a night's worth of sleep every three days. We spent like $600 on drugs. Each."

Don't feel too bad for the service workers. I have a ton of friends who work festivals, and not only do they get paid pretty fat day-rates, they often get time off to see shows.

Jeezus, was your friend doing coke all day or something?

I imagine a combination of ecstasy/MDMA, long-term and short-term psychedelics, and sundry stimulants. Because all regular life-responsibilities are abdicated for a few days, those festivals approach a level of experimentation usually unheard of.
