Nine people have been stabbed at a concert in Dublin's Phoenix Park.
Two of them were seriously injured during the event, headlined by dance act Swedish House Mafia.
A 23-year-old man has been arrested, but gardaí are investigating whether more than one person was involved.
A man believed to be in his 20s died from a suspected drugs overdose at the concert. A Garda spokesman said he had sought medical attention at about 19:00 BST but later died in hospital.
"Gardaí have not been able to identify this man and are asking family and friends to check that loved ones have arrived home safely from the event," he added.
More than 45,000 people were at the concert, which also featured Snoop Dogg, Tinie Tempah and Calvin Harris.
A spokesman for concert promoters MCD said CCTV footage had been given to the police.
"Ticket holders entering the site were subject to a search permissible by law," said managing director Denis Desmond.
"Every precaution, as far as possible, was taken to ensure the safety and security of the audience at all times.
"Despite our best efforts - with security and gardaí personnel levels well in excess of the required numbers for a licensed event of this size - there is only so much one can do to combat anti-social behaviour."
