Along with Labrinth, the line up includes Calvin Harris and Ed Sheeran.

In total, 63 people were arrested over the weekend.

The countdown is finally over and V Festival sponsored by Virgin Media is underway at Hylands Park, Chelmsford.

Another 65,000 will don their wellies and courageous the mudbath at the Weston Park site in Staffs. “Inquiries are ongoing”.

A spokeswoman for the force says, “Officers attended and arrested a suspect on suspicion of rape”.

Tackling drug abuse remains a police priority and accounted for the majority of arrests, with officers also clamping down on the recreational use of laughing gas.

Police reports state that a 21-year-old individual was detained at the Chelmsford event after a woman was allegedly raped at the festival site on Friday (August 21).

Supt Elliott Sharrard-Williams, commander of the police operation at the V Festival in Staffordshire, said: “We discovered samples of two very risky substances with unusually high purity”.

The chart-topper is also one to show his affection for his other half online.

Organisers urged anyone with the pills, or who saw anyone else with them, to alert police, stewards or security guards.
