Radio 1's Big Weekend at Swindon's Lydiard Park began on Saturday with crowds of up to 20,000 attending.
A police spokesperson said a small number of arrests were made for drug possession, use of counterfeit currency and two assaults.
A BBC spokesperson said the town of Swindon had "embraced the event" and "everyone was having a great time".
Performers including Lily Allen, Scouting for Girls, Snow Patrol and Akon are among the weekend line-up.
