Reading Festival bosses have warned music lovers about another potentially dangerous drug doing the rounds at the event.
A warning from the Festival's official app told campers to be wary of a particular pink drug.
The message also told festival-goers to seek medical attention if they had taken the pill.

It read: "Warning! There are some pink Pharoah pills being sold as MDMA and are giving adverse effects.
"See help immediately.
"Go to welfare or medics."
Bosses also said this drug could have adverse effects.
The festival's organisers 'do not condone the use of drugs', according to their website's drugs policy.
The policy reads: "Festival Republic does not condone the use of drugs. Drug enforcement laws are as applicable onsite as anywhere else in the UK and it is, therefore, illegal to buy, sell or possess drugs.
!All drugs are potentially dangerous, there are no harmless drugs. The only way to avoid risks is to not take drugs at all. This goes for new psychoactive substances (formerly known as “legal highs”) as well.

"We still want our festival-goers to know that you can come to us for help if you or your friends need it, without fear of getting in trouble at any time.
"Always be honest with medics and welfare teams about what you have consumed so that they know how best to help you."
