nice to see that festival name up again... :pac:

I'm contributing to this thread just so I can talk about an MCD gig again!

I have no intention of going to Oxegen at all.

when will they have the full line up

Red Sleeping Beauty · 02-06-2009 4:40pm

Nine Inch Nails and the Manics at the same time is pretty crap scheduling but it seems to happens at festivals a fair bit.

mango1888 · 02-06-2009 4:49pm

happened alot last year. to be honest i think it would keep you goin around with more interest if the headliners were at different times than the end

That_Guy · 02-06-2009 6:33pm

Not many good bands playing at it this year for me to be honest. Pendulum, The Mars Volta and NIN would be about it. Not worth paying that amount of money for it.

Great lineup this year at OXEGEN

[i feel like a rebel sayin it again :P]

Its more versatile this year, better than the usuals the last few years

Should be good!

Wonder if it'll ever sell out, recession etc

they have that deposit thing if you cant pay half your wages on a ticket at once.

just cant wait for deadmau5 and sweidsh house mafia and hopefully the specials will be good

Cant wait for Deadmau5, Boys Noize, Blur, the killers and Bloody Beetroots.
Id love if Justice came though, might go see Little Boots too.

Why would a NIN fan want to go and see the stinking tedious Manics?

Don't get all the commentary about this year being a great lineup either.
I see NIN, Jane's and... err... Hmm. There's... errr... ah. Specials might be good?

Some Oxegen as always - hoover up one or two acts you want to see and wait to see if you'll stump up 200 notes to see them.

Noooooo thank you.

Went for Rage last year. Worth the price of a one day ticket to see it. Not worth turning up to the venue before the band went on stage though.

Still upset about missing Nick Cave and Yeah Yeah Yeahs since it clashes with Springsteen

Oh well...

Mossy Monk · 02-06-2009 10:25pm

More than 2 stages is too many

Yea same here although i seen Manics last year and they were unreal , they just played all the hits pity they only had an hour set. So will prob head to NIN this year , not gonna pay for a ticket just get a lift over to Naas and haggle with the security and get in pretty cheap.

Duke Special (2nd Stage) and The Dirty Epics(Green Room) have been added to friday

Red Sleeping Beauty · 02-06-2009 11:10pm

The Manics usually put on a very good festival setlist. I think they did a cover of Pennyroyalty though. Their bass player's damaged his back so there might be a possiblity of cancelled festivals.

Bit crap that Reznor's not done a proper gig in Ireland. It's either a support slot for the Poo Fighters or a festival.

NI Nightmare · 03-06-2009 10:08am

Going to my first Oxegen this year, there's 3 of us headin down from the thursday, don't know what to expect, but looking forward to it.

whatawaster · 03-06-2009 11:40am

I think it’s the best Oxegen line-up in years.

Can’t wait to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blur, Elbow, Regina Spektor, Squeeze, The Specials, Nick Cave, The Horrors, Peter Doherty and the Manics.

Early trip home? You never know what you might stumble upon at a festival. Also, for the price you pay, you'd want to get your money's worth.

Seriously do not do that, you will probably end up going home and see on youtube or something a brilliant show that you could have went to and you will regret it. Don't go home early whatever you do. Waste of money also.
