Swedish House Mafia Stabbings: Nine Injured After Knife Attack at Dublin Show

A 23-year-old man has been arrested and charged with stabbing four people during a Swedish House Mafia show in Dublin, Ireland, on Saturday night, the NME reports. The four victims -- three of whom were seriously injured -- were among nine concertgoers injured, and five additional fans were apparently wounded in a fight involving knives and broken bottles.

"Ticket holders entering the site were subject to a search permissible by law," said Denis Desmond of MCD, the promotion company behind the Phoenix Park show. "Every precaution, as far as possible, was taken to ensure the safety and security of the audience at all times."

Desmond added that "there is only so much one can do to combat anti-social behaviour."

In addition to the stabbings, a man in his early 20s died of a drug overdose, the BBC reports. The violence comes weeks after Swedish House Mafia announced plans to cease touring after this final round of shows.

This is why I don't go to places where there are many people anymore. If it isn't small town I don't go. I'd hate to think I paid to see a concert and why I was there I got knifed. What a waste of money. Didn't even go to our free events for the 4th that were free in Charlotte NC. To many hoods around. Never go to anything free downtown in Charlotte NC, To dangerous. Did I miss much? I don't think so cooked out in a near by small town and watched some killer fireworks across the cow pasture that the golf course shot off. Nice and relaxing.

I bet the National Knife Association is happy about this. You know if knives are outlawed only outlaws will have knives.

I'm surprised they call this a concert or even refer to what they do as music . They should call it what it is a , " White Trash Get Together " .
