Yesterday's festival was the first Stereosonic of the season and also saw 69 people charged with the supply and possession of drugs.

There were also 23 people issued with cannabis cautions.

It was estimated that 50,000 electronic music fans were in attendance at the event. 

Earlier this week two men were arrested for allegedly attempting to conceal drugs at the Stereosonic site ahead of yesterday.
