Last year was the first time Witnness/Oxegen sold out prior to the event(and that was probably due to David Bowie who ended up cancelling), don't believe MCDs hype.

Sold out in 2003 too.

penexpers · 10-02-2005 9:59pm

I can confirm too that I won't be attending this shambles of a festival.

The Streets and Kasabian confirmed for Oxegen.

The Streets I wouldn't be particularly over excited about but Kasabian ...... wow! If they play it will be the final conformation for me that I have to go this year.

Anyways word on the street is that Charlie from Busted's new band Fightstar are apparently going to play Oxegen! Oh yes aswell as many great bands playing we get what shall be called a bottlefest for our personal entertainment

Charlie ..... Ireland is waiting for you!!!

Could be wrong but I though Fightstar were around before Busted. Or during anyway. Suppose we should all make it our business to disregard any band playing at the same time and go and bottle Fightstar. Yeah, then we can say how **** they are.

Oxegen sister festival announces headliners

FOO FIGHTERS and GREEN DAY are to headline this year’s T IN THE PARK festival in Scotland.

A host of other bands have also been confirmed, including The Killers, Ian Brown, Kasabian, Prodigy, Audioslave, Embrace, Keane, Razorlight, Biffy Clyro, The Streets, Beautiful South and The Coral.

p.pete · 11-02-2005 7:30pm

T in the Park always manages to get a slightly better lineup then Oxegen - must try going there some time...

whiskeyman · 14-02-2005 2:43pm

The Frames have now also been added....

Can't wait to see Kasabian!! They're fooking deadly!

Hope Green Day are announced.... kinda bored of Foo Fighters now.

karlh · 14-02-2005 4:18pm

seems like a yawnfest to me! i'd only go to see Beck (think he'll be touring with new album) and Prodigy. think Glasto is the place to be this year....other than Kylie!

honru · 14-02-2005 5:01pm

The Frames play Witnness/Oxegen every two years. It's inevidable.

Lineup is still way too familier.

lad12 · 14-02-2005 5:45pm

Frames are class live band...never get sick of them..I read on NME.com that coldplay are probably playing Glastonbury Festival..Do the most of the same bands that play at the Glastonbury Festival play Oxegen?

Bottle_of_Smoke · 14-02-2005 10:47pm

Yeah glad the frames are back, thought over last years debacle they might not play it again. I don't think the glastonbury bands are likely to play Oxegen - usually the T in the Park bands are te same though

lad12 · 14-02-2005 11:13pm

thought over last years debacle they might not play it again

What you mean by that?Is the glastonbury gig related to any concert over here then?

eoinf · 15-02-2005 2:41pm

james brown of all people has been confirmed for oxegen what a load of c**k

lad12 · 15-02-2005 5:09pm

How come Greenday Have yet to be confirmed at the gig...just cos James Brown is playing a festival similar to Oxegen in England dont mean he will play ere...He hasnt been confirmed yet...

Keano_sli · 15-02-2005 5:27pm

James Brown "A Load of Cock"
What pathetic little place are you from!!
This man is a legend, reason enough to go I would say.
You would be amazed at the influence he has had over music and he is the most sampled artist in the world, so some of your favorite music will have a little bit of James brown in there somewhere.

sillisome fiend · 15-02-2005 8:50pm

James brown has been confirmed http://www.nme.com/news/111398.htm

orangerooster · 16-02-2005 11:12am

Not so sure about the line-up so far but I'll go because I always end up going for the atmosphere in the camp-site more than anything else.Saw only what I really wanted to see last year and had a ball.

Blisterman · 16-02-2005 6:31pm

If James Browns gonna be there, I'm going.

sickle · 16-02-2005 9:33pm

Theres nothing about this on the MCD website.

And isn't the official Green Day website greenday.com?
EDIT: Theres nothing about this on greenday.com. I doubt they'll play Oxygen.

sickle · 16-02-2005 10:09pm

silly me....but they are still quite likely to be playing

lad12 · 16-02-2005 10:12pm

Yeah i thought that was their official web site and its not mentioned on it..But i don't think the t-festival is either and they is playing that..and they are down to play the t festival on the 10 like its says on that web site..So their mite sum hope of them playing on the 9th over here as it also says on the web site...

and maaan is that greenday.com site really slow for eveyone or am i special.

bennyx_o · 16-02-2005 10:17pm

Took a while to load for me. It's been pretty slow latley(sp?).

lad12 · 16-02-2005 10:36pm

Yeah it's cos they have that over done front page before you enter the main home-page...Maybe Greenday will be announced on friday...So do yee think it will sell out fairly quickly, the T-festival sold out in record time this yr..4 days..its normally doesnt sell out till a few wks before the gig..so im hoping the same dont happen with oxegen cos me cant afford to get me tickets on friday..

sillisome fiend · 16-02-2005 11:06pm

The MCD guys are a bunch of wa*kers who think that they should be given the same respect as the bands that are playing! ive seen this last year in vip section when a security guy just asked one of them for ID at the entrance and the MCD guy who was on some sort of power trip blue a fuse and the poor security guy got thrown off the premises! It had to be seen to believed!

rabbitinlights · 24-02-2005 11:55am

Anyone hear the rumor that System of a Down are playing?

That would be amazing.

RichyX · 26-02-2005 1:46am

Aside from Audioslave & James Brown it looks a bit a*se so far

Green Day would be a step in the right direction & it'd be even better if Eagles of Death Metal played. Bit sick of Josh Homme's voice & crap guitar playing.
The way it was organised last year was so bad it nearly ruined the whole weekend & I doubt the **** will be any better this year.

€10 for a neck band thingy full of advertising. Little pr*cks...

Completly agree with you about most of that...

Is just... why did you put a star in "arse", but not in "****"?

Edit: Oddly, you can say "****", but not "c*nt", I've just learned. Also, I assume it was "arse" you were saying. Can't think of any other word that'd fit. Uh anyway... Back to Oxegen!

Blisterman · 26-02-2005 2:30am

****s ****s
no doesnt work.

Saw a live QOTSA gig a while back and Josh did this half hour long retard solo. It was more like 5 minutes but either way it was absolute sh*te.
Generally I don't think much of him.

Eagles of Death Metal aren't fantastic but entertaining enough.
