Doves were among a number of headliner's for last week's Splendour In The Grass
More than 200 people were caught with drugs at last weekend’s Splendour in the Grass music festival.
About 35,000 people attended the two-day event at Byron Bay’s Belongil Fields.
Police using drug detection dogs found 209 in possession of illegal substances, a statement from Tweed/Byron Local area Command and the Operational Support Group said.
As a result, officers issued 120 court attendance notices for drug offences and 89 cannabis cautions.
Officers charged a 30-year-old Lismore man with supplying a prohibited drug after he allegedly had 80 ecstasy pills in his possession.
There were a number of arrests for alcohol-related and street offences.
