The British-Nigerian poet, Gboyega Odubanjo, has been missing since the weekend.
The 27-year-old was last seen at about 4am on Saturday in the Kelmarsh area of Northamptonshire where he was attending the Shambala festival, where he had been due to perform later that day.
Officers searching the area found a body on Thursday, Northamptonshire police said.
The Police in a statement said formal identification had not taken place but Odubanjo’s family had been informed and were being supported by specially trained officers.
The force added that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
The search for Odubanjo involved police search dogs, specially trained police search adviser officers, neighbourhood and response police officers, a police dive team, and volunteers from Northamptonshire search and rescue.
