Lost Lands Music Festival has confirmed that two male attendees died over the weekend after being sent to local hospitals. The causes of the respective deaths are still unknown.

"Our hearts are with their families and friends at this time," the festival said in a public statement on social media.

Lost Lands, based in Thornville, Ohio, launched in September 2017 and experienced a temporary shutdown at the Paradox main stage after an elaborate volcano setup caught fire. Fortunately, no injuries were reported after the incident.​

Billboard has reached out to Lost Lands and Thornville's police department for further comment. View the full statement from the festival, as well as Excision, on the two tragic deaths from its 2018 event, below.
