An 18-year-old male has died at a Sydney dance festival on Saturday after he tripped over and suffered head injuries. 

NSW Police confirmed that just before 10.30pm the punter tripped over several people while running at the Knockout Circuz event in Homebush and fell to the ground. 

The man reportedly became violent with security and was drifting in and out of consciousness. 

After being taken to Westmead Hospital, the man's condition deteriorated and he died around 1am on Sunday. 

Police also confirmed that 55 drug charges were made at the hardstyle show, attended by over 16,000 people, including one 17-year-old female who was caught with 379 MDMA capsules. 

A 22-year-old male was also found with 188 MDMA capsules, two 19-year-old females were found with 90 and 40 capsules respectively and another 17-year-old female with 41 capsules. 

They will all appear in court next month.

The Music has contacted the festival promoter for comment.
