A new string of sexual assaults have hit another Swedish music festival, where ‘dozens’ of accusations of assault – including rape, attempted rape, and groping – have been made against ‘foreign men’.

Swedish police report that the rape victim was under 18 and taken to the hospital. She was attacked while watching a band perform at last week’s Peace & Love Festival, according to Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.

Another Swedish newspaper, FriaTider, reports that police spokesman Stefan Dangardt identified the attackers as ‘foreign men’.

Local authorities currently have three suspects in custody. Swedish media have not identified them by name because they are said to be underage.

Thirty thousand people attended Peace & Love, which was promoted as a multicultural festival encouraging inclusion and acceptance.

Crowded: Police have come under fire for failing to protect festival-goers, as campaigners insist that the wristbands are not strong enough to prevent attacks

The festival trumpeted a ‘U Can’t Touch This!’ initiative aimed at preventing sexual harassment and hired officers to patrol the event.

Sweden’s summer music festivals have been plagued by sexual harassment.

Five women were raped at Sweden’s biggest festival, Bråvalla, and 35 – including a girl as young as 12 – were assaulted at Putte i Parken (Party in the Park).

According to The Local, a policeman from the Värmland region (where Party in the Park takes place) said the rise of sexual abuse from previous years is ‘enormous’.

Swedish police have been criticized for not doing enough to protect female festival goers.

Norrköping police spokesman Thomas Agnevik said he ‘understands the criticism’.

'If a crime is being committed obviously not enough has been done,' he said. 'Nobody should have to go to a concert and leave as a rape victim.'

Agnevik emphasized that police are unable to protect all festival attendees, as the attacks often happen in large crowds after dark, which makes it ‘very difficult’ for them to identify attacks.

'Two of the rapes happened in front of the stage in the crowd, another was in a tent and another in the public bathroom,' he added.

Mumford and Sons said they would not play at Bråvalla again until they receive assurances from police and organisers that they are doing something to combat 'disgustingly high' rates of reported sexual violence.

They said in a statement: 'We're appalled to hear what happened at the Bråvalla Festival last weekend. Festivals are a celebration of music and people, a place to let go and feel safe doing so. We're gutted by these hideous reports.'

It comes after 35 girls aged between 12 and 17 reported being attacked at the 'Party in the Park' festival this weekend in Karlstad, Varmland County.

Some of the alleged victims reported being 'kissed and groped' in scenes similar to the Cologne New Year attacks, in which dozens of women reported being assaulted.

One victim Alexandra Larsson, 17, waived her right to anonymity to tell MailOnline she was molested on Friday night having been looking forward to attending the festival for months.

'I do not know what to think, it is so wrong. Everyone thinks it's wrong but nothing happens,' she said.

'There are large festivals with several thousand people and these mass incidents create a powerlessness for both the police, security guards and especially for visitors who become victims.

'The perpetrators will be so anonymous in the audience that they will get away with sex crimes. That is the main problem, that the perpetrators get away with it.

'It's not okay. I should be able to go to festivals and have fun like everyone else without being afraid. It is wrong, really wrong, but that's the feeling I have after yesterday. It's damn hard that ordinary people who just want to have fun should have to suffer just because someone thinks it's fun to violate.'

Swedish police launched its new campaign a week ago, in an effort to crackdown on sexual assaults at festivals.
