do u buy a camping ticket 1st and then accomodation for the green camp after

We stayed in green in 2008. Bought our ticket as normal, and then booked with Tangerine Fields -

http://www.tangerinefields.co.uk/index.php?option=com_tfbookings&Itemid=2&func=details&did=41

It's fairly pricey (think we paid €630 for a 6man tent).... but worth it if you don't want to be carrying a load of stuff!! There is a big tent 6 person/3 room tent already pitched and waiting for you when you arrive, along with air-beds and a brand new sleeping bag each (schweet:D)

Green camp site is ok, but not spectacular for the extra money you pay.... Though the showers (you still have to queue for them in the mornings - I didn't bother, said I'd live with the grime for the weekend) and toilets are definitely a lot cleaner than in the other camp sites.

There isn't much choice of food in Green, just a van selling tea/crepes, and another one selling tea/sandwiches (no selection whatsoever:rolleyes:)...... And there seemed to be a LOT of security around, felt like they were watching our every move...... couldn't even smoke a J in peace ffs..... Also, atmosphere was kinda dead, but was nice to be able to go down to Blue, go maad, then wander home at 5 or 6am and actually be able to sleep for a few hours;)

Announcements Tomorrow:


I have a very strong source that tells me it will be 30STM, The Script, The Coronas, Biffy, Madness and Arcade Fire.

Disappointing for me. Let's hope my source is full of s**t, not likely though.

Oh no, not The Script. Although having said that I don't have to see them I suppose. Tomorrow will make or break as to whether or not I go. I'm teetering on the edge at the moment.

Would like to see Pendulum, Brand New, The Used, Fun Loving Criminals, Biffy Clyro, The Bravery, Seasick Steve, Three Days Grace and Machine Head (very wishful thinking) added to the bill.

Furious-Red

Faithless and Arcade Fire have been confirmed via Oxegen facebook page. It says Arcade Fire have a headline slot

CyberWaste

Arcade fire and Fatboy slim after being added

It seems it won't be announced for a few weeks yet. Hope it doesn't end up being too long because I'd like to suss it out, see if I can manage to see most of what I'd like on one day.

Arcade Fire >>> Kasabian for headline spot on the main stage perhaps? To be honest I think Arcade Fire might be a bit better in one of the tents.

:|

Might actually go now that arcade fire are playing, probably just get a day ticket though, do not wanna camp. I wonder what day they'l be on

SantryRed

Are more being announced or is that it?

I'm hoping for more. Bit sh*t if there's only two artists announced. Maybe they'll have more in a bit.

df1985

the stuff being said about arcade fire by kids who know **** all on the oxegen facebook is infuriating! theyre brilliant live, would be perfect in a tent but probably too big for a tent. id like them, florence, mumford and sons all in a tent but probably all too big at this stage!

Probably go for Arcade Fire's day. Not much interest in the rest of the lineup. Supposedly, they're playing Friday, which is a pain in the arse for getting a single-day ticket.

Hopefully more announcements later,hoping for 30STM

Furious-Red

Maybe we will see Kasabian/Arcade Fire co headline slot. Hopefully Kasabian go on the last

Wonder who is going to be left for electric picnic!?!

Who's going to be left? By this line up - a hell of a lot!

Sickened about Arcade Fire!
Super sickened
Wasn't planning on going at all as I'm going to Glastonbury already but doesn't look like they're popping by there.
Ah man

I wouldn't write them off for Glastonbury just yet. No promises, but there seem to be some fairly credible mutterings surfacing all of a sudden about them swinging by.

Oxegen is the first festival they've announced, but by no means the first one they'll play.

nommm

They're a strong rumour for Reading and Leads so that means they mightn't be playing Glasto.

LETS BE AVN IT

Two great acts announced today , finally the festival is starting to take shape hopefully a few surprise acts announced during the week !would love if the Strokes were announced although they said they wont be playing anymore gigs this summer.

evil_seed

when will it be announced who is playing what days? i might end up going for all the days, but more than likely will go to whatever day jay z is playin

Theyre playing, not 'officially' announced yet but Jared said in his personal blog that they will be playing and apparently there was an ad in the Irish Indo today with the lineup and they were listed.

DEEEEELIGHTED!!!!

sleepy_head

I like 30stm's new stuff alright though not supremely different from the last album.
Yeah fingers crossed for Arcade Fire. I'm really excited for the new release. I mean Funeral and Neon Bible are two of the most played albums I have so no expectations for the next! :P

Hi all,

Thinking of going for the a the "luxury campsite" this year, or maybe one of the pods.

Does anyone know how much they cost last year? (pricing not available for 2010 yet)
