A few more people in crowd were seemingly injured during her set, with Raye telling the crowd: “There’s a lot going on in the audience tonight, security can you just look down there, thank you.”

The temporary pause in her gig comes after fans shared complaints about the dustiness of the entire event.
The festival which attracts thousands of fans every year is held at Victoria Park and last week Cleo Sol and SAULT headlined on Friday, while the next day fans were treated to Chase & Status.
Despite a number of huge stars performing at the event, fans were focused on how dusty the entire area was, with some claiming their lungs were filled with it.
Taking to Twitter/X, one person posted: “I’m sure I’ve lost my voice because my lungs is covered in dust.” Another disappointed person added: “We all left looking like we’d been in the mines all day.”
Another attendee commented: “Don’t go to All Points East unless you want to come back looking like a chimney sweep.”
One fan chimed in with: “I’m sure I I’ve lost my voice because my lungs is covered in dust.” A fifth person said: “I loved yesterday at all points east, not the biggest dnb fan but the vibe was insane.”
They added: “However, two showers later and I still feel dirty, coughing up so much dust and I’m supposed to do it all again next week? Pls let it rain I’d rather slid about than smell that dust again.”
Other stars performing on Saturday included Jyoty, Nao, Montell Fish, Cat Burns, Nia Smith, Bimini, Mackanzy Mackay and more.
On Sunday, Maccabees are headlining the festival with Bombay Bicycle Club, CMAT, Black Country, New Road and more hitting the stage.
