What happens when you swap sun loungers and sightseeing for all-night parties, foam cannons, and dancefloors at 30,000 feet? Journalist-turned-tour-operator Kirk Field found out the hard way when he created the world’s first holiday company designed exclusively for clubbers.
Planes, Trains & Amphetamines is his outrageous, no-holds-barred memoir of life on the frontlines of rave tourism. From Ibiza madness and Alpine après-ski mayhem to customs busts, volcanic ash clouds, North Sea storms, and even the ghost of Michael Jackson, this book charts the chaotic, hilarious, and occasionally catastrophic adventures of a man who put the party before the pillow.
With Field as your guide—part Frank Spencer, part Hunter S. Thompson—this is an uncensored deep dive into the world of clubbing holidays: the highs, the hangovers, and the stories too wild for the travel brochures.
