Arse to anyone puttin in digs at this gig.

For the amount of bands it's really good value.

Both it & Electric Picnic are great, only we've never camped at Electric Picnic so thery're not really on a par now are they?

For any doubters, get the full camping ticket & have a good time. Seriously, bashing the gig is such a waste of time. If you thought it was crap, you went with the wrong people or took the wrong stuff. After the Ireland games this is the highlight of the Summer.

Enjoy. I bloody will.

I saw this on the oxegen website. There are rumours there that more might go on sale in a few weeks though I personally doubt it. If the worst comes to the worst you can always just get a two day ticket and camp in the car park.

Allright Anto. I was in the same tent man. Ha. I was losing the run of myself totally. The fairy people were taking over my brain at half time & I don't really remember the game/ evening ending.....

Got this e-mail from oxegen:

OXEGEN has exceeded all expectations selling out in record time a full 6 weeks in advance! The two day event which takes place 9 & 10 July at Punchestown will be attended by 70,000 music fans.

This year OXEGEN will be broadcast across Europe by MTV.

Denis Desmond of MCD commented "for OXEGEN to sell out so far in advance in its short history is an incredible achievement and goes to show that the event has already established itself as one of the most important events in the Irish music calendar. The stature of the artists is phenomenal with Green Day, Foo Fighters, The Killers, Snoop Dogg, Prodigy, Keane and many more".

The two year old OXEGEN festival now joins the list of summer sell outs by such artists as Neil Diamond (Lansdowne Road 11 June), U2 (Croke Park 24, 25, 27 June) and Oasis at (Marlay Park 16 July) to name a few!

OK, I'm in ! Echo & The Bunnymen again (just saw them Wednesday) but I just cannot say no to this genius band... Too bad they have the Saturday, as the rest of that day's line-up is not really floating my boat.

which venue is it ?

[Gareth]

Excellent, I can plot a route through them bands. A few clashes but if I learn to bi-locate between now and Oxegen I will be set! I am hoping for one or two other bands to be added. I did think the Coral would appear. I hoped Tom McRae would return and with new albums due from BellX1, Gemma Hayes, and a few other irish bands, I did expect a few more names.

I would will Bright Eyes go Electro or Folk
