Swedish House Mafia have issued a statement concerning their Saturday night headliner in the Phoenix Park, which was marred by nine stabbings and the death from a suspected overdose of a man in his twenties.
“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,” say the duo. “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.”
