26-year-old Raymond Guarino and 24-year-old Patrick Norris were both pronounced dead on their arrival at hospital.

Eighty three people were arrested for a variety of offences during the event, including underage drinking.

Promoter Live Nation made it clear that much illegal activity was happening off site in the festival's car park. A spokesperson for the local authority said that these were the first ever deaths in the venue's history.
