Electronic dance act Swedish House Mafia have spoken for the first time following the events which took place at the Phoenix Park concert they headlined last Saturday night.
"We played a festival in Ireland at the weekend and reports of incidents are coming to us", the statement reads. "We didn't see anything but have asked for all the info and are respectful of the promoter's need to wait and give us all the clear facts."
"When we know more we will liaise with the festival promoter directly on what we can do to help but for now we have to respect their request to us that we remain quiet and respectful of their event safety processes."
"The festival itself was amazing and we had no idea this had happened and neither did the other numerous artists who played. Once we know all the facts we will deal with it in the best way we can. Thank you. Swedish House Mafia."
Nine people were stabbed, one seriously, at the show. A man who was arrested by an off-duty Garda at the concert, has been charged and is due to appear in court today. In all, 30 arrests were made at the concert.
A man in his early twenties died following a suspected drug overdose in Blanchardstown Hospital after presenting himself for treatment at the concert. Two other suspected drug deaths occurred on Saturday night in Dublin and Meath and Gardai are attempting to find out if they were in attendance at the concert.
