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.
