The deaths are being treated as unexplained. “We have been made aware of the video and are making enquiries”, said a spokesman for Police Scotland.

“We are offering our full support and assistance”.

Organisers have also warned drivers against relying on satellite navigation systems to find the site.

“We are continuing to investigate these deaths and are following lines of inquiry, including the possibility that they may be drug related”.

Festival veteran Melvin Benn, who was drafted in to get T in the Park back on track after a spate of problems in 2015, said: “It’s just devastating”.

This year’s event is poised to draw more than 80,000 attendees following a change of venue last year for capacity safety concerns.

“Clearly, an investigation now has to take place and I hope this will be undertaken as quickly as possible”. If you spot anything suspicious report it to stewards or a police officer.

In a statement Police Scotland confirmed they were investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths.

But a police source said the deaths were “possibly” linked to drugs.
