A young man has died at a music festival in Sydney.
The man, in his 20s, died at the Knockout Outdoor Music Festival in Sydney Olympic Park at 11.50pm on Saturday.
NSW Police said the man suffered a medical episode and could not be resuscitated by paramedics after emergency services arrived on the scene.
His death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner.
As many as 60,000 people attended the music festival this weekend.
Two men, aged 26 and 21, died in separate incidents at around 1am after last year’s knockout event.
The 26-year-old was rushed from the festival to Concord Hospital, where he later died, while the 21-year-old was treated at a hotel on George St in Sydney’s CBD.
The young man was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital, where he tragically died.
