Two men have been hospitalised after suffering drug overdoses at Victoria's Beyond The Valley festival.

As ABC reports, paramedics were called to the Lardner Park event to treat a man in his 20s who was later transferred to Royal Melbourne Hospital where he remains in a critical condition. 

The second male, also in his 20s, was transferred to Dandenong Hospital on Sunday in a critical condition, however he has since been upgraded to a stable condition. 

It comes after a 22-year-old male died after taking an "unknown substance" at Lost Paradise festival in New South Wales on Saturday. 

Meanwhile,  Falls Festival organisers sent a warning out to all patrons on Sunday regarding a "dangerous orange pill" being circulated around Australia.
