I used to rate the Foo Fighters and have seen them a few times in London just after the 1st album and a few times after the 2nd album,when they were good ,now I wouldn't cross the street to see them,they're a spent force.I like Dave Ghrol though and think he could do alot better than the stuff the Fighters are churning out now.

It's very early for talk of Oxegen the tickets don't normally go on sale till June.

What's happening this year everythings getting earlier?

So, with only knowing one confirmed band, and they're not confirmed for any particular night, you could save a fiver by buying your ticket now?

Would agree with you about FOO Fighters, theve got worse and worse , still not bad after a day of drink etc.

I got the email and just thought I'd let ya know, I'm fairly sure I'll be down for the weekend unlesss anything else pops up. But with christmass and a holiday coming up may not ne able to afford ticket till later

Why would anyone sit in a field overnight at �130 a pop to sit through loads of bands they cannot stand or have never heard of?Has prosperity made us all insane?

Yet you cannot get these self same pillocks to pay �15 to sit in relative comfort in a real seat with a back on it, to watch practicioners of the World's greatest game at the highest level possible in this country ....

I did the last witness festival, beofre it changed its name! Cracking weekend. Saw the foo fighters a few years back at Reading, and from what I remember, they were pretty good, but I wont be rushing out to buy my ticket. Think I will hold off for T in the Park and V.

have to say the music was great !" but it was an awful lot of hassle . fiver for a cheeseburger thats a joke . and ignorant b�stards from mayo singing "ironic" songs outside your tent at 6 am isnt good either

**Neish** · 10/12/2004, 11:29 AM

The Prodigy have just been added to the Bill.

Also the deadline for purchasing the cheaper tickets has been moved to 6pm on January 4th

Part and parcel of the weekend is listening to madmen signing the good aul tunes like coutry roads and sweet caroline

Ohh when I say madmen I mean drunken loudmouthed hicks

**Dublin12** · 10/12/2004, 11:41 AM

The Prodigy were at the old Witness festival a few years ago and they were awful,it was like watching a karoke pantomine act

.
I haven't heard much of their new stuff though so they could be better this time around hopefully.

Anyone know if Electric Picnic will be repeated next year? Missed it last year cos was away on holiers (only realised there was a clash after buying two tickets

)
