The pilot festival was the first to use antigen testing here.
The person who received a positive Covid-19 antigen test at yesterday's pilot festival in Dublin got a false result.
A PCR test later came back negative for the virus.
They were the only person to test positive out of 3,500 who took an antigen test, ahead of the gig at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.
It was the first pilot event to use rapid antigen testing.
Here's the venue before crowds entered:
