Hi lads.
I was just wondering could ye help me. I've never been to Oxygen, but I am thinking of going this year. Could someone please answer the following questions :
1. When do tickets go on sale ?
2. Can I get a list of what acts are on what day ?
3. Can you buy a day ticket ?
Thanks lads.
Havn't been to Oxegen since 2005, "its got to comercial man" (Or in other taken over by rednecks and jackine scumbags) But here some answers to your questions for my 2000-2005 oxegen odyssey
1. When do tickets go on sale ?
Check Oxegen.ie
2. Can I get a list of what acts are on what day ?
Same as above but the times for each band usually aren't published untill the night before the festival begins.
3. Can you buy a day ticket ?
Yes
Bit of a predictable line-up. Kings of Leon headlining again? The Killers? Razorlight?... Blur comeback would be worth seeing though.
anyone go last year? what time does things kick off on friday? I havnt been since 05 but am considering it this year, just trying to figure out would it be time enough arriving midday Friday. Don't fancy 4 nights in a tent! Would the campsite be packed out by Friday :confused:??
Sorry bout the questions, but I can't be bothered going on the oxegen forum, it seems they jump straight down newbies throats :mad:
I got a weekend ticket (with no camping) last year on ebay for 100 euro.
So i drove up and back for the weekend and had to the luxury of my own bed!
I think it started around 4/5 o'clock on the friday.There was still plenty of people arriving at the campsite at that time.
Just want to go the day Blur are playing. But can't find what day that is on the site, any help ??
Blur are playing T In The Park on the saturday so that leaves friday or sunday.
Blur are playing friday.Here is the breakdown so far.
Friday July 10 – Blur, Snow Patrol, The Script, Keane, Lily Allen, James, Pendulum, Ladyhawke, Swedish House Mafia, Crookers, Eagles Of Death Metal, Dreadzone, God Is An Astronaut, Tom Middleton & Aeroplane
Saturday July 11 – Pet Shop Boys, Doves, The Saturdays, Kings Of Leon, Bloc Party, Elbow, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On The Radio, Pete Doherty, The Mars Volta, The Game, Squeeze, Tiga, Digtalism & Gary Go
Sunday July 12 – Nine Inch Nails, Jane’s Addiction, Glasvegas, The Killers, Razorlight, The Specials, Lady GaGa, The Ting Tings, Katy Perry, Manic Street Preachers, Paolo Nutini, Florence And The Machine, White Lies, Jason Mraz, Foals, Friendly Fires, Of Montreal, Miss Kittin and The Hacker & Hudson Mohawke
Are NIN headling Sunday? The Tings Tings, Jason Mraz and Razorlight dont even deserve to breathe the same air as Trent Reznor never mind the same gig.Quote:

Get out and see trent and co while you can as it seems he is planning to make NIN "disappear for a while"

The Killers are closing out the weekend. I'd imagine they might stick NIN on a different stage though, different crowds and all that and NIN would probably work better in a tentQuote:

I just thought that too. The Killers seem to be there every year, Kings of Leon, Razorlight, Keane, Snow Patrol etc, where's the imagination?.. Although the way Razorlight are heading, their days of big festivals might soon be over.
Its what the people want. Electric Picnic always seems to have a more varried and different line-up looking forward to it being announcedQuote:

If Electric Picnic goes ahead, and to be honest it really is looking like a big IF, then there won't be a bodytonic tent this year anyway.
Bodytonic fell out with Pod promotions over some issue regarding their club night in Dublin City
That's probably me out anyway cause thats where I spend my time in Electric Picnic
I think oxegen is the most overrated and over priced festival around. Where they get this idea it's one of the biggest in the world I'll never know. Same line ups year after year or at least every second year and yet the ticket prices continue to rise. They maybe have one decent different act a year. The food, merch etc... Is also a rip off compared to festivals in Europe and America. It now seems to be full of scumbags too for some reason. My advice is if you are going for the music just go to the day most appealing to you. The weekend can be very expensive and alot of time wasted unless you are just there for the pi55 up.
P.s. I have three Jason mraz albums and all are very good, he's a talented bugger.
am hopingto make this festival next year. Its supposed to be brilliant fun and very laid back. Not a bad line up either though i have to say i go to festivals as much for the atmosphere and experience as for the music.

PS - oxegen is horrible.
Yeah always heard good things about the Coachella festival but don't know if I could listen to 50,000 drunk americans for a weekend, Best festival I've been to yet is sziget in Budapest very laid back and cheap compared to the Irish and Englsih festivals and also has just about every type of music you could wantQuote:
