A twenty year old woman died of a suspected drugs overdose at Lake District music festival Kendal Calling last weekend. She was apparently taken ill on Friday night and rushed to hospital but died the following day.
The festival has come in for some flack for putting an interview on their website and in their programme which quoted local band Deathretro as saying: "Don't just get pissed or take a load of drugs and miss all the bands. Do all three" when asked "What's your essential festival survival tip?"
A spokesperson for Kendal Calling told The Sun: "The comments made by bands within the festival booklet do not reflect in any way the festival stance on drug usage. A full police investigation is now under way".
