Drug incidents at European festivals

Entities: Israeli suspect (arrested for assault) · Fejér County Police · Israeli festival attendee (victim) · Ozora Festival · Belgian suspect (arrested for drug trafficking)

Overview

In early July, police at Germany’s Ruhr‑in‑Love festival, which attracted roughly 30,000 people, recorded 170 drug‑related offenses. Later in the month, Hungarian authorities at the Ozora Festival in Fejér County reported a large drug seizure—about 2,000 doses of cocaine, ketamine, MD5 and other substances—and made several arrests, including foreign nationals suspected of trafficking. The Ozora event also saw a stabbing of a 30‑year‑old Israeli attendee, leading to additional detentions. Together, these reports illustrate a pattern of heightened police activity and drug‑related crime at major European music festivals during July 2026.
