I'm going, although sans ticket, looks like we're going to have to sneak our way in somehow, but its wasn't hard last year, so I doubt it will be this year either. Anyway most looking forward to
Yo La Tengo
DJ Shadow
Graham Coxon
Belle and Sebastian
Super Furry Animals
Skatalites
Soulwax/2 Many DJs
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Rufus Wainwright
Saul Williams
****ed off it clashes with the game but only one winner there for me. I would say it will be a great weekend.
Actually since I'd rather not have to hop a fence or dodge security all wekkend if anyone has any tickets for sale pm me and I'll take them. I'm looking for two but whatever's going will do.
I heard they are putting up a big screen so we can the match too though, which would be quality!
Got this emailed to me this morning. Its not offical but the guy who sent it to me is usually spot on with these things. Ya have to wait about 20 seconds and the n click download

Top class weekend - Oxegen doesn't even come close to EP.

Alabama 3
Cut Chemist
New Order
Josh Ritter
Frames (twice)
Dublin Gospel Choir (twice)
Watching Kilkenny beat Cork in the cinema tent.
Roll on next year
Good weekend alright, not as good as last year's by any stretch, but still it was good to be knocking around the body and soul area again. Didn't get to much acts, but Cut Chemist, Coldcut, Krafty Kuts, New Order were top quality, Krafty Kuts was the highlight of the weekend for me though. From all accounts I didn't miss much with Belle and Sebastian, Massive Attack were okay (although they were made more enjoyable because I was running around the woods outside at the time trying to jump a fence), and Basement Jaxx and Duke Special were disappointing. Sorry I missed out on SFA and Saul Williams though
Brilliant weekend far more relaxed than the redneck fest more commonly known as Oxegen.
I saw:
Pj Harvey (Good)
Massive Attack (Good)
Michael Frantini & Spearheads (Excellent)
The Skatalites(Ok but very short set)
Dj Shadow(Excellent)
Bloc Party(Good)
Tapes N Tapes (Ok)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs(Excellent)
Basement Jaks(Excellent)
****ed off that I missed Alabama 3,Grove Armada & New Order due to variois reasons. The only bad things that happened were our bus breaking down and halving to wait 2 hrs on the roadside outside Carrick-on-Shannon for a replacement:( and a cou[le of my mates getting busted by the DS:mad: . But all and all a great weekend, and can't wait to net year.
