A 17-year-old Kilkenny girl tragically died shortly after attending Kodaline's concert in Dublin Marlay Park on Friday night.
Medical staff at the concert site assisted the teenager before she was rushed to Tallaght Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
A Garda spokesperson told The Irish Sun on Sunday: "A 17-year-old girl took ill at a concert in Marlay Park on Friday July 8. She was treated at the medical centre on site before being transferred to Tallaght Hospital where she was pronounced dead a short while later.
"A Garda report will be prepared for the coroner and an autopsy will be carried out to determine the direction of a Garda investigation."
Concert promoters MCD have expressed sympathy, on behalf of themselves and Kodaline, to the family and friends of the girl.
"Kodaline and MCD’s immediate thoughts are with the family, relatives and friends of the deceased at their very sad loss," they said in a statement.
"During the Kodaline concert at Marlay Park a 17-year-old girl with a pre-existing medical condition became ill.
