Glastonbury is one of the biggest music festivals in the world.
Scientists have uncovered harmful levels of illegal substances in the river at Glastonbury Festival.
The water flowing through the site in England recorded high levels of MDMA and cocaine.
According to the experts, the levels were so high that it could be harming wildlife in the area.
They are urging now for festival goers to use designated toilets as mapped around the festival site.

Scientists believe the drug traces found their way into the water stream by way of toiletry use.
In the samples taken, MDMA concentrations were four times higher after the event took place.
Levels of cocaine were deemed to have reached a harmful percentage to certain fish in the river.
A plea has been made to those attending festivals to be extra mindful of the harm caused by their actions.
