Police and paramedics rushed to the gig but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The highest stands in the 90,000-seat venue are some 170ft above the ground.
One fan, who was sitting in a lower tier, described watching medics try to revive the tragic fan after he hit the concrete.
She wrote: 'I was directly underneath in section 211. At first glance I thought it was a coat falling from the above tier but then I looked and saw the bloke on the concrete. It was horrific to see.'

The band crashed ticket sites when they announced they were making a comeback last year - as more than 14 million fans tried to secure a seat at the highly-anticipated gigs.
Last month Liam and Noel reunited on stage in Cardiff for the first time since a backstage bust-up broke up the band 16 years ago.
The Britpop icons returned to their hometown of Manchester for five dates in July.
They performed a 23-song setlist of classic hits, including Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger and Live Forever to a roaring crowd of 80,000 people at Heaton Park.

They will head to America later this month before returning to London for two more gigs in September.

Ed's late gran Nancy Mulligan hailed from Gorey, Co Wexford. And the singer used to visit Wexford multiple times a year to spend time with family and friends as a child. Ed told The Louis Theroux Podcast: "We'd spend all of our holidays in Ireland. My first musical experiences were in Ireland. I grew up with trad music in the house.' Caolán Barron, from the Barron family run pub, said: "We're delighted to welcome Wexford-man Ed Sheeran to The Sky & The Ground during The Fleadh Cheoil 2025. "We've the spare room made up for him, and my mother has made him a chicken curry in case he needs feeding and all thanks to our closer partner Guinness for making it possible.' Ed's latest album, 'Play' is set to be released on September 12. It explores new musical ground through collaboration with producers and musicians from around the world. And it is also inspired by Ed's exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures and his connections to the Irish folk tradition. Speaking about the forthcoming album, Ed said: 'Play was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life. Ginger-haired pop megastar Ed Sheeran 'caused earthquake' after thousands of fans jumped to hit songs at packed concert "Coming out of all of that I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring. "I made this record all over the world, finished it in Goa, India, and had some of the most fun, explorative creative days of my life. "It's a real rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish, it encapsulates everything that I love about music, and the fun in it, but also where I am in life as a human, a partner, a father." He continued: "Going into this album campaign I said to myself 'I just want everything I do to be fun and playful' - so that's why we are building pubs for folk jams, doing gigs on open top buses and singing in pink cowboy hats on bars. 'SAVOUR THE MOMENTS' "The older I get the more I just want to enjoy things, and savour the moments that are mad and chaotic. "You can preorder 'Play' now, many many more playful things to come before it's out x.'

This person said: "I agree would be nice for them to acknowledge they're missing one!" Their holiday comes just days after it was reported how Stacey and Joe have made a "vow" amid "silly bickering", according to a source. It comes after "tension" between the popular couple has recently been captured on TV. Stacey Solomon's career so far Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career. The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the 'Girls' category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I'm A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I'm A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash - who'd won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff. Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019. Loose Women (2016 - present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants' living spaces after removing clutter. However, according to a source, the couple have vowed to take time out to remember why they're so good for each other. During their BBC reality show, the pair shared a close-up look into the ups and downs of life at Pickle Cottage and their relationship. The source told New Magazine: 'There's tension in the air and there is a bit of bickering. But it puts a strain on any relationship. "You look at those on reality shows, such as the wives in The Real Housewives, with cameras in their houses 24/7, and a lot of their relationships crack under the pressure.' Despite this, the source maintained that a break away from the cameras, however small, is just what Stacey and Joe need. The source added: 'They're worried that if they don't have a break from the cameras and the limelight, it could affect what makes their relationship special. 'They're still very much in love and are really trying to focus on each other amid the silly bickering and moments of tension, and remember why they got together in the first place – and why they're actually so perfect together. "They have vowed to carve out some quality time this summer to do that."
