Two men have died and 10 other people have been taken to hospital after attending Sydney music festivals in the stifling heat amid a series of drug busts.

NSW Health confirmed the two men died after leaving the Knockout Outdoor festival at Sydney Showground on Saturday and police say they are waiting for autopsy reports, amid speculation the men died after taking illicit drugs.
