Those going to Oxegen would be well advised to read this book I just found in a local store. Available where people dream I guess.

Ah to be fair, Oxegen and I'm sure every festival in Ireland has it's fair share of knackers attending. It's over highlighted this year due to Eminem and Jay-Z performing.

I saw Jay-Z when he played here in the RDS about 2 years ago and there was a really good atmosphere about the place.

Saw The Prodigy in the O2 last year and the amount of troublemakers there was unreal.

The Prodigy have played Oxegen a ton of times and it's never highlighted that their fans attract scumbags too.

Meh. I personally can't wait.

Ah yeah I've heard it myself but people are very quick to just highlight Eminem and Jay-Z's fans. I know that a lot of scumbags like Eminem and Jay-Z but I've been in some serious crazy pits at The Prodigy with a ton of people just in there to throw a few anonymous digs.

I've not seen Eminem live so not sure what the crowd is like. Jay-Z's crowd was good. Just a lot of arms going up and down for a while and a bit of dancing. That's about it I suppose.

I'm hoping Jay-Z will have his band with him at Oxegen this year like Glastonbury.

You make a lot of sense, but I must tell you a funny story....a couple of years ago I remember hearing a report on FM104, I'm actually gonna look online for the news piece and see if it's still there...anyway, they claimed that on the night Eminem played in Punchestown there was virtually no crime in Dublin city centre that night....not one reported incident of theft or physical harm....I remember hearing that on the news years ago and laughing to myself

That's actually kinda funny....

i'm pretty sure thats an urban myth, i've heard it for all kinds of events most notably the UFC and bernard dunne boxing matches!!

but maybe it was, that would be hilarious imo

be interesting to see figures for the 9-11th of july 2010 in that case!!:D

Having looked around all I can find is the support list for that night:
D12, 50 Cent, Obie Trice, Cypress Hill & Xzibit - which kinda makes you think

And this news article, from a Kildare paper, about a stabbing at the concert - and the fact that massive delays were caused when people realised they had to pay 5Euro for carparking!

It doesn't paint a good picture of his fans, although doesn't specifically say about the no crime there either....

That'd be absolutely amazing. Would love to go see them.

I'm hoping for Felix Da Housecat, saw him in the Academy last year but missed him in Oxegen.

Anybody can pick an isolated incident from a concert like that.

What about this incident when a man coming out of a Robbie Williams in Croke park couple years and bottled a fireman.

It doesn't paint a good picture of his fans either :rolleyes:

How about if I said for example "All fans of dance music can't enjoy it without taking e's"
Would that be a generalisation or the truth?

Never meant to imply that Linkin Park were one of the most influential bands, just he did a big project album with them a few years back. My point is that Jay is not some run-of-the-mill, one dimensional rapper that only talks about guns and bitches. The list of people he has worked with is very long, those three groups were just off the top of my head.

Ricero, is there anyone in the music industry that you don't consider to be a tosser?

Yea liam gallaghar;)

Yea there is gonna be alooooooot of scumbags there, but for those of you that have been will know that there is scum every year and actually i've seen drunk people that are far from scumbags act worse.

Get on your Air Classics, and just enjoy it. Hopefully the line up for EP will be better. :cool:

Well tbh at The Prodigy in the 02 everyone was grand in the pits ,I thought there would be some trouble as The Prodigy attracts different types of people,but it was fine.

scumbags get a lot of blame for these sort of things, but in reality, the scumbags at oxegen are often normal folk like ourselves, who with drink and freedom turn into some sort of beings mad for harm and general divilment.I'l admit it myself i done stuff at oxegen that i wouldnt do anywhere else!

nommm

Muse are headlining on Saturday night.

at oxegen in 08, there were a good few scumbags around our tents. they didnt have the armbands, they were just there to rob stuff, loads of people around us had a load of stuff taken. one of them was caught red handed and security threw them out.

Brand New
Pendulum
The Used
Enter Shikari
30 Seconds To Mars (even though I'm seeing them on Friday)
The Mars Volta
Fleetwood Mac

Please Oxegen... Tis the least you can do.

30 seconds to mars are likely definately playing just need to wait til after the gig on friday...(as it's not sold out)
If the used played...it'd probaly sell it to me I really want to see them live.
Add My Chemical Romance to the list and i'm definately going
