Its a rip off in two ways, its trying so hard to be Reading/Leeds and its just too damn pricey.

I also hate the clientelle/atmosphere it creates, see clapping to anything whatsoever and annoying hands in the air to Kaizer"omfg the are super"Chiefs, hello people welcome to two years ago.

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers [Who I rate lower than Maggie Thatcherr] draw every much savage from North Cork that ever was [Ya biiiy i was at slane like, awesome like] *yes I'm from Cork.

I will end up going, if only to see The Who and be beligerant.

Its strange how certain bands are popular in certain areas of Ireland.
Saw Doctors always attract an amazing amount of Galway jerseys(easy to explain i suppose)
but more amazing is
Every-one i know from Wexford
'totally loves the Counting Grows. They're amaaazing'

UB40 are fecking huge in Cork.
Golden Discs has their old albums up front with the new releases and they're constantly requested on ninety-**** FM.
What's that about like?

Red Hot Chilli Peppers are the perfect foil for the casual music fan which Oxegen attracts.
Californication is dragged out of the cd rack at every half-arsed house party.

...and therein lies the problem with our little country.

Never mind our conspiratorial media who'll airbrush out the one third of Madonna tickets unsold and label it "a huge success" so more of us go "oh it must be acceptable to pay 140 bucks to see an ageing tart kid herself"...

never mind that Irish people pay over 60 quid to see Metallica when Spanish people pay less than 30 quid within a few days of the dublin show,

never mind that providing adequate, clean toilet facilities don't double a promoters cost base and never mind that more food outlets than Feile should bring the price down -not send it up....

...the problem is we hand over the wad.

UB40 have long been quite popular with the sticky headed shams here in Limerick too. Christ I fcukin' hate UB40. I find something deeply unsettling, patronising and downright racist about a pair of white guys from Birmingham feigning jamaican accents.

If Al Jolsen was wrong for "Maaaaaaaaaam -eeeeeeeeeeeee" ............

Heard one or two rumours about Smashing Pumpkins reforming and playing Oxegen? Any vague truth in that one?

I'm 43 . I am too old for outdoor concerts per se. I don't have the patience to sit through hours of music by bands I either can't stand or do not know just to hear the main event. I watched Live 8 but it was on TV and I was in the comfort of my own gaff.

Disaster - never realised it was the same weekend. Maybe I'll have to go to Oxegen then instead cause I will be going to Stuttgart.

disaster is bleeding right. Was really looking forward to EP this year. Only down the road too as I've boughgt a gaff close to it. Would have been my first time too as I'm a festival virgin. Ah well, I'll be kicking the real virginity to touch in Stuttgart instead:eek:

Its a very impressive line-up and with EP being on the same weekend as Stuttgart I'll probably go to Oxegen. I'd prefer if the Chillis weren't playing but they have to pander to the masses.

There's no way I'm camping with all those little scumbags though.

am i reading that parking thing right if you dont buy 4 camping ticket s parking is 20 euro so a camping ticket is actually 180 odd euro , and if you dont buy a camping ticket you have to park else where and get bussed to the gig .

there goes my plan of going sat getting ****ed sleeping in the car and going home sunday .

even though there are 4 or 5 bands id like to see they are ripping people off way too much for me to bother it will cost me well over 200 euro before i even get there then add the over priced beer & food it could top 400 euro for a weekend :mad:

as my granny used to say "bol_locks to that":D

I heard all the day tickets for both sat & sun are sold out.

Not surprised the Sunday tickets sold out always happenes with the RHCP. They are the greatest band of all time afterall :rolleyes:, . heard they were queuing all night hope it was good and cold like it was in Donegal and the idiots all froze.

My money is mostly tied up with several other things at present, if there still are camping tickets in a few weeks I'll get one then. I'm won't be too disappointed if I don't get one.
