Oxegen Line Up & Verdicts

BrianD

Have a great weekend if you're going to Oxegen (completely sold out). Don't forget the Phantom board is waiting to hear your verdict on each day, stage and act!

The complete line up for both days is available in our Festival Guide

If you're down in Punchestown support your favourite radio station (that's us by the way) by making your own 'Phantom FM Rocks' sign and get it flashed up on the big screens at the main stage. You can also text the screens (it's pricey though) with your message of support.

Have a good one!

Yep gamak were brilliant. I nearly got myself killed when everyone started moshing though. Turn and Republic of Loose were also very impressive (esp Turn's new bassist )

But...The Killers definitlely stole the show for me!

The Killers had such an amazing atmosphere. Everyone singing along and more just bopping rather than moshing. They put on a brilliant show with good crowd interaction. Then again I don't think they would of been nearly as good if they were on the main stage because we must remember that all those in the tent were basically fans who gave up the oppurtunity of seeing the Cure for a way lesser known band. Such a Fan-****in-tastic show though.

Hope of the States were the act before the Killers. I had only heard of them but did not know what to expect. I was pleasently surprised though. The projection on the roof was really really cool. I must buy their album.

Ash played better than the last time i saw them play. Tim Wheelers flaming guitar was back in action. Good atmosphere in the pit. Lots of crowd singing and the likes.

Muse.... well what can I say. Such an energetic and powerful performance. Mental atmosphere added to the heavy songs immensely. Pity they were not headlining so that they could use their lightshow to the full extent. Oh well they are bound to play a headline slot sometime next year.

Faithless were a massive shock to me. Not my cup of tea at all but it was enjoyable to just do that dancing that the scumbags do. You know what I am talking about, flailing arms and the like.

Have to agree, definitely the act of the weekend in my humble opinion - Saturday was brilliant in general - The Rapture, Snow Patrol, Kings of Leon, The Strokes and then onto The Killers... what a fine procession of bands to see in a row!

Mmmmm, yeah, you definitely would!;)



I was surprised to see how much the crowd changed this year. It seemed to appeal to a wider audience. I'm sure this made the promoters very happy but i preferred a more indie crowd. There were far too many girls with furry pink boots and hoop ear-rings in my opinion. this probably has something to do with no Creamfields this year. I think the change of name of the festival caused it to lose some of its indie chic. Just my thoughts anyway.:)

At the same time it's good to see that a broad spectrum of people are enjoying quality music. Personally, I think that there is a "happy vibe" at the festival. I would prefer to see "girls with furry pink boots and hoop ear-rings" than agro.
