Festivals 2025: how events are taking a stand against drink spiking with Capote2Verre
The summer festivals of 2025 marked a turning point in the fight against drink spiking. More and more organisers are now equipping themselves with prevention measures to protect their audiences. Among them, Capote2Verre has established itself as the essential tool.
A real danger in nightlife venues: drink spiking
Concerts, raves, open-air events… Every year, festivals attract millions of people looking for music, togetherness and freedom. Yet these gatherings are also places where vigilance can be undermined.
In 2023, more than 13% of women aged 18 to 25 said they had already experienced a situation of chemical vulnerability in nightlife settings. Drink spiking, which means giving someone a drug without their knowledge, is on the rise and far too often goes unseen.
Some victims describe feeling “drunk without having drunk anything”, or suddenly losing their memory. Situations like these leave lasting marks, both physical and psychological.
Capote2Verre, the simple and effective way to protect your glass
Faced with these risks, Capote2Verre offers a practical solution: a reusable, universal and discreet silicone cover that fits onto any glass to protect it against any attempt to slip in a substance.
Its built-in mini straw lets you keep drinking easily, without ever exposing the contents of your glass. No more need to keep an eye on your drink at all times: the anti-spiking drink cover acts as a preventive shield, while also limiting accidental spills.
Drink spiking tests (CYD, Check Your Drink) are also available: they can detect the most commonly used substances, such as GHB or ketamine, in a matter of seconds.
When festivals become players in prevention
Some festivals have already taken the initiative. In 2024, several major events, from the Printemps de Bourges to We Love Green, built Capote2Verre into their prevention measures.
Handed out free at the entrance, on partner stands or at the bar, anti-spiking drink covers have become an obvious tool, well received by festival-goers.
The feedback is unanimous: attendees feel freer, more relaxed and better protected.
An approach backed by local authorities
The initiative does not stop at private organisers. Many local authorities, including town halls, urban communities and local youth services, have decided to join the fight against drink spiking.
Some hand out Capote2Verre at local events, others give them out in schools and health facilities.
This institutional support shows that drink protection at festivals is becoming a public health priority.
