    I think what they are saying is the person did not die at the scene of the stabbing, but they had no more news after the fact,

    Instantly fatal? So what you're saying is the person died later?

    No. They may have died, it just wasn't definitely fatal on-site. They would have been taken to hospital and the staff probably didn't have time to even update with hospital staff by the sounds of it.

    How about people stop speculating about any 'Supposed' stabbings until an official announcement is made.

    Some kid, be it a scobe or not, may have gone to a gig and won't be going home tonight, so just wait until it's confirmed

    Gardai say no deaths at Swedish House Mafia despite reports. Number of stabbings believed to have taken place #dublin #shm #ireland

    Just read this on twitter, hopefully is true.

    Shocking but writing was on the wall with this that it was going to be a disaster.

    Live right beside park and the choas I witnessed before this even began

    Cans thrown everywhere, the Royal Canal a sea of litter, topless gurriers screaming and shouting then came nearly full scale riot as gangs of scumbags started attacking each other.

    I know few people there and few doing security,.said there is one dead abd someone had their face ripped off by a broken bottle

    Hope residents get on to local representatives that this never happens in park again

    I was at the Stone Roses and the security didn't have much to do. They were having a great time in fact. Some really enjoying the music.

    This however...

    Was actually devastated at all the status updates of people going to this tonight, until I read about the aftermath. SO glad I didn't go now.

    This will be a serious problem for MCD, never mind the state of the park that people were talking about earlier. I have 2 cousins up there, just texted one to make sure he is ok.

    A lot more maturer crowd at The Stone Roses in fairness

    I passed down the Navan Road at about 1:30 this afternoon I was surprised at the amount of young lads heading that direction at that time!
    did todays gig start earlier?

    I really hope the reports of a death or two are false
    it will probably put tomorrows gig in doubt if true

    i'm sure the majority of people at the gig had a great night and didn't see any of the alleged violence.

    Just brought the dog out for a walk. The estate is very quiet. Plenty of shouting from over towards the canal.

    Prrtty meh gig. Good music but looking over my shoulder evey two seconds to see a fight break out was off putting . So much scum at it . Harrasing people . Shocked how close you could grt without a ticket . Better of sittting st the cross and listening for free

    This had trouble written all over it. Glad i only heard this in the last hour once id heard back from the brother or id be horrid worried.

    Without meaning to make crude generalisations, this was always a possibility given rough people being fans of the bands today, a muddy torn up arena, mcd ineptitude and a lot of drinking going on...like a condensed oxegen and that gets enough trouble as it is

    Id say it was like an oxygen on speed with every one of the mentallity weve only got one day lets go mental. Oxygen wears them out a bit.

    That and two massive campsites which half of them dont bother leaving for the weekend and a rake of stages...really spreads them out and they can be steered clear of, as i did on my three visits there. On the other hand tonight was a perfect storm by the sounds

    Surely if there were fatal stabbings the gig would have been stopped.

    Sounds absolute carnage though.

    Imagine what the majority of the rest of the crowd would do if the gig was called off.

    Wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be, I went the whole day without seeing a fight sure there were kids that couldn't handle their drink and people passed out at the side of the road, but it's what 40,000 (i think) people at a dance gig, that type of music is bound to drag in an element of bad people. For most it was grand.

    If a football match (European Cup Final 1985) can be played minutes after 39 fans died then a gig would definitely go ahead.

    IF the gig had of been cancelled then just imagine the trouble.

    Didn't see any fights personally. Although I just stayed at the stage for the whole thing. Thought SHM were fantastic. I couldn't hear a word Snoop was saying. Awful sound system

    Do you not think itd sad that you think kids not able to drink alcohol and passing out on the road is no big deal?

    It was an utter beacon for the flith of Dublin to come out and cause havoc

    It wouldnt be now completed.

    If the death of 2 people is not a just enough reason for fellow revellers to stop partying, I really would be surprised, shocked, ashamed & disgusted.

    If the trouble is anywhere near what is being made out the calls for no Oxegen will be difficult to ignore next year.
