    Nope , unless you hide it. I might bring one of those rucksacks where you can fill it up with beer and drink threw a straw :)

    Went 2 years ago when i was 16 they were very stickt on it so i had t ask a lad over 25 in the q to sign me up he did it no prob, only thing was they asked a **** load of questions like who he was how i know him and all they ask all the questions to you not together so you have to b well prepared with the person ur pulling so i wud suggest going early and hav a cuple of hours to talk to the person. They dont let ya in with the day pass till 1 anyway so ya shud have plenty time !

    I was 16 last year going and had no problem getting in and i look young(still do). Had a half a litre on me aswell which i got in no bother just had it under my belt they didnt look twice. You really shouldnt have a problem with getting drink in.

    I know its not announced but what day do people figure Muse are gona play? Im missin the friday and they are the only band i really want to see. Hopefully its the Saturday and Kasabian the Sunday. Although it sounds like eminem and Prodigy on the last night.

    No need. Just find someone in the crowd who looks 25 to get you in.

    Not at all. Sure it probably only takes a minute or two. Don't worry about it. There'll always be someone willing to do it.

    Usually they release what days bands are playing around mid-end May if I remember correctly, I think the actual timetable comes out around mid June. Better be no bad clashes this year...

    Well they release what days all the bands are playing around mid may, I think though they release what day the big acts are playing earlier. I think you the prodigy and eminem are playing on the sunday which is already released. Correct if im wrong though, its been a year so memory not the best.

    You can find out what day each act is playing if you look at the tourdates section on the bands website.

    Can find out a lot of info on the oxegen official forum.
    Is my first Oxegen this year, a bit scary as people always have bad stories to tell - tents being used as urinals etc, but a lot exciting too! We plan to head down on Thursday, be there good and early in order to pitch tents in a good enough spot. Bringing an almighty amount of drink with us.

    In terms of "scumbags" being there, sure there are scumbags everywhere in Ireland, just keep yourself to yourself (well apart from forming lifelong drunken friendships with randomers!!) and enjoy the craic!

    I think the line up is pretty varied, obviously to appeal to many, and if you're determined to go but are also determined to gripe about who is playing, then go and enjoy everything else that is going on!

    My only concern is re how quick the tix will go, I know it didn't sell out the last coupla years but look at TITP!

    Just a tip, if your bringing a lot of beer, cover it up a bit or something as there is thieves in the campsites that will nick beer during the day when most people are in the festivel area.

    But about the scumbags, keeping to yourselves doesnt work always, some of them will just come up and not piss off, like they might not be looking for a fight or anything but they can get annoying, but its generally ok.

    Yeah i think first batch of tickets will sell out so im gonna que the morning for them.

    As i said above, the acutal timetable with times isnt released until around mid-end june, but you can find out the days all the bands are playing earlier, around May im pretty sure. But some bands put the day their playing on their website.

    Yeah was presuming that about the drink alright, we are prob driving up, and are considering leaving supplies in the boot, or depending on cash may book into one of the fancy yokes at the green campsite!

    Hopefully we don't run into any nasty people, suppose tho can be the same going to a club or anything! Hopefully the majority of people are there for a good time.

    Woohoo though, super excited!

    Ive decided if i do go i shall be staying in the Tangerine Fields for 1st time. Its not that much more expensive when you add everything up , and plus there will be no scumbags in the area :)

    [quote=[Deleted User];64712546]Oxegen sucks.[/QUOTE]

    Alternative festival perhaps?

    As for those worrying about the tickets being sold out, register with Oxegen on their website to get priority tickets a day before they go on general release.

    Always handy and requires no long queue's the next day. :)
