How to go about festivals?

So I'm going to a festival soon, and I'm super pumped as I've been wanting to go to this festival for the past couple years, and this will be my first festival. It's a very...drug friendly festival btw.
My question is, how do you guys go about getting the most out of the drug use? Do you save one of the (in this case 3) days for tripping/rolling? Or do you just go crazy all weekend despite tolerance/crashes? I've got 5 hits of acid (I'm gonna test one of the hits to determine the strength), 1.5g of methylone, hopefully I'll have a gram of molly, 150mg of 2C-E, and my friend is brining an ounce of shrooms, and obviously a lot of weed, so we'll be set. I'm thinking of candyflipping for the first time, and I don't know if I should save that for the last day, or go right at it. If I do some shrooms or roll on the first or second day, would it be a good idea to candyflip the third?
You don't necessarily have to answer all these questions, I just wanna hear how people handle the drug usage at festies

I would personally, just boost the drugs. Take a hit, wait a couple hours, then dose up, or re-up again.
Once you start to fall, stand right back up.

For me, the best way is to stay fucked up just about the whole time. If you aren't tripping or rolling, stay blazed. Then, on the last night, go all out. Take whatever drugs you have left. It WILL be draining, but only after you come down from the most awesome time ever.

Once you're there and everyone else is tripping/high/drunk the whole time you're going to want to be, too. Planning is great! Make sure you got enough to be dosed all day every day(if that's what you want) OR bring some $$$ for more!
Don't forget about serotonergic tolerance.
Don't take too much and get out of control. *edit* you know what, go CRAZY!
Remember to bring water! (sleep and food are unimportant)
Remember to have a good-ass time!!!!!!

I like to spend the first day just chillin'. Gettin to know the venue, my neighbors, etc. Just to ease into the environment and get comfortable and safe feeling before I trip.
I also like to leave the last day for decompressing, letting all my drugs wear off before I get back to reality. Usually this is the day that I'll get really drunk (I'm not a big drinker and tend to stay blazed the rest of the time).
Usually all the best acts are at night time. So depending on the schedule I'll save my psychedelics until it starts to get dark. I'll figure out ahead of time which bands I absolutely HAVE to be tripping for, and then I'll dose an hour or so before then so that I'm good and tripping for that set and into the rest of the night.
I usually take LSD, but will take a little bit of molly just to keep my mood up. I prefer to just slam it with high doses of whatever all at once rather than trying to keep my trip going all weekend and fighting a tolerance. Trying to redose the whole time is just a recipe for never being satisfied. When I trip, I like to for fucking cereal! So I have no patience for not being able to get off because I've been dippin' molly all weekend like some people do.
Shrooms aren't really good for large concert events. You get queasy and can't dance. Plus you just feel really weird and sometimes you aren't able to jive with everyone else who may be rolling and super friendly because of it. Molly is always fun, but it wears off quickly and people tend to turn into fiends by the end of the weekend. It's always sketch vibes when everyone's molly starts wearing off and they come up asking you "hey man, do you know where I can get any molly?" all tweakin' and shit. That's why LSD and other long acting hallucinogens are best. They keep you going through the night (and maybe the next day) and when they finally where off you're like "thank GOD I can fucking sleep now!" rather than fiending for more.

Personally I'd take the acid or 2c-e on the first day, use the methylone and mdma on the second, and finish it off with either acid or 2c-e (whichever you didn't take the first time, since they have a semi-cross tolerance) with a slightly higher dose to make up for tolerance.

Serotonergic tolerance is a bitch. I haven't found a way to overcome it yet. Molly in particular is bad... You can try re-dosing when you're starting to come down but still feeling it and it still won't do affect you at all. Maybe I haven't taken high enough re-doses when that much time has gone by, but I am not about to waste expensive drugs just to keep a weak buzz going.
Candy flipping is always good in a festival setting, and I agree that if you had to pick one drug, acid would be the way to go. Still, the coming down part ALWAYS sucks for me, usually because the festivals I have been to were hot as balls. Last time around even xanax couldn't get me to sleep, the heat and discomfort levels were so high.

They have no other protector than you. Please bless them that they may achieve the omniscient state of buddhahood. With the power of evil karma gathered from beginningless time, sentient beings, through the force of anger, are born as hell beings and experience the suffering of heat and cold. May they all be born in your presence.

The first few camp outs/Festivals I went to I was a little over excited and ended up consuming too many things . But shit happens at these sorts of things, especially when "thangs" are handed to you for free. Not that I had a bad time or anything, but looking back on it now combining a bunch of substances is essentially a waste of drugs IMO and the experience just becomes an extremely cloudy psychedelic soup...I much prefer the experience from a single substance or the synergy of two.
first few events I went to I consumed Mescaline, LSD, MDMA, Mushrooms, rips of DMT, lots of cannabis & nitrous, beers all within 48 hours 
Now I've learned to chill out a bit, space things out, less combinations....First night I take it easy and drink beer maybe catch a buzz, smoke a bunch of pot. Attempt to get a few hours of sleep in the wee hours of morning (5am-8am usually, kinda hard when the music never stops). When I wake up Saturday morning (if I even sleep) I begin to consume mescaline tea, late Saturday afternoon I eat 1-2 hits of LSD, then around Midnight or so I eat around 150mg of MDMA or MDA. Then Sunday consists of beers and pot to calm the nerves, maybe a bit of opiates to take the edge off...Sunday night is always a very chill night. Then Monday comes around before I know it and it's time to start packing, but by that point I don't want to leave...
That's pretty much my regimen for 3 to 4 day gatherings/festivals. Sometimes with out the mescaline. I generally stick to LSD and MDA (or MDMA) as my recreational substances. I don't like getting all that fucked up (relatively ). I still like to be able to talk coherently & meet people and what not...and be able to dance, LSD and MDMA always physically puddles me during the peak and all I want to do is sit down....
So, my suggestions & advice....Save rolling for the last night, no reason to drain neurotransmitters and numb all your receptor sites the first night (I've made that mistake before). Don't take MDMA multiple days, save one certain night/day for that. Candy flipping is an amazing combination, I like to take the MDMA an hour or two after dosing....Get some rest when you can, even if it's a quick power nap or simply laying down in your tent. Stay hydrated, get some (good) whole foods in your stomach even if you're not hungry. I know it can be hard to eat on psych's but even a few nibbles here and there will do it (I actually get ridiculous munchies on LSD for some reason). My diet through the weekend consists of fruits, plain bread, dark chocolate, water and beer .
Remember it's not all about the drugs!!! The weekend should be centered around the music, dancing, and community vibes, drugs are just like a "seasoning" on top.....And above all....stay safe!!!.....Keep an eye on and look out for others!!!...Dance your ass off!!!...Meet people!!!....
Have a good one...

lulz! I remember one festy when I was just nibbling tabs of acid and dips of molly all weekend and then slamming it at night... On the last night I'm trying to let all my drugs wear off and my friend busts into my tent while I'm passed the fuck out from not sleeping all weekend. He's got what's left of our molly and he's like "DUDE! WAKE THE FUCK UP AND HELP ME FINISH THIS MOLECULE!!!" I roll over and take this gigantic fucking scoop from the baggy and eat it and proceed to go right back to sleep! HAHAHA! Tolerance fucking sucks! Plus you crash really bad after getting to that point...

Thanks for all the responses. So here's what I'm thinking: 2C-E the first day, chill out (smoke, drink) the second day, then candy flip the third day.
Either that, or I'm also thinking of chilling the first day, candyflipping the second day, and then methylone on the last day, anybody have any ideas on tolerance issues from mdma and methylone a day apart? I've read that methylone causes a huge mdma tolerance, but for some reason the reverse is not true. I'm gonna ask the same question in ODD for some more feedback as well.

I like to get settle an scope out the scene first day and night And just blaze, get drunk, smoke salvia and see what if any kinds of cops and shit might be there. Then the rest of the weeeked tripping balls save the speed for the end.

It's all about the music schedule for me.
Consider the band or couple of bands or artists that you're looking the most forward to for each night; then consider what state of mind you'd like to be in for that show. Plan accordingly..
In my opinion food/sleep/water and perhaps sunscreen are all critical parts to make the most out of a music and drug filled weekend

Smoke and drink Thursday and Friday. Maybe eat some molly Friday, but not a lot. Sleep both of those nights, then go hardcore as fuck Saturday all night into Sunday. Smoke down Sunday morning, pick up trash, chill, drive home once sober enough but still buzzed enough to stay awake.
I save drugs for Saturday night for the most part. I'll probably be saving some shrooms so that I can dose an 8th or something on Friday night.
Generally though, save the good drugs for Saturday and keep the booze/weed for Thursday and Friday night.

I'm a little late in arriving to this thread, but I'd like to offer my advice.
Festivals require careful planning. In my opinion, you should determine what night will be the peak of the festival (it's not always the last night). The peak evening should be the night that you go all out. It's most rewarding when done this way because you can share the excitement and energy of all of those around you.
As you can see from the various responses, everyone has there own philosophy and approach to festivals. There's no "right" answer because everyone has their own preferences. Over time you will develop your own approach.
