“We are saddened by the death of two people after attending a festival in Sydney,” the Australian Festival Association said in a statement.Nine other people were urgently taken to hospital from Knockout Outdoor and one from the Listen Out music festival, which was also held over the weekend, at Centennial Park in the city’s eastern suburbs.
At Listen Out, illegal drugs were allegedly found on 85 festival-goers, 37 of whom were issued court attendance notices. “Pill testing is not going to stop that from happening and I need to make sure that when decisions are made about festival safety — which is our primary concern — it’s done with the full information on the table,” he said.
