Fans of Phish left a weekend reunion of the freeform band in Hampton a bit lighter than they arrived.

Police in the coastal Virginia city said Monday they confiscated about $1.2 million in illegal drugs and more than $68,000 in cash from concertgoers.

Police said they also arrested 194 Phish fans during the three-night celebration of the band’s return to the stage after a nearly five-year absence. Most of the arrests were for drug possession, use and distribution.

Nearly 200 law enforcement officers worked the weekend event, with the Vermont-based band picking up the tab.
