    Having friends that work security i can guarantee you that they do in fact take drink off people with no id. So you are very wrong to state that.

    I was only 17 last year and so were most of my friends and none of us had our drink taken off us :confused:

    Eh in case you don't know it's not my stance. Do you know what the legal drinking age is? You do know that it's not me who sets this age limit right?

    boards.ie is bound by the same laws as anyone other company and are not allowed to promote or solicite under age drinking.

    For next year's thread there will no mention of alcohol allowed.

    I think it will! The amount of the same old "how can I sneak my alcohol in" questions is very tedious to read over and over and over again.

    Anyways heading up on Thursday morning, really looking forward to it. Havent been in a couple of years so it will be nice to be back. Looks like Thursday night and Friday will be wet but the rest of the weekend should be decent.

    Hoping someone can help me out with this.

    4 of us (of a group of 8 going to the festival) want to leave Oxegen on Sunday morning, go and watch the Leinster football final (we're from Louth) and get back up in time to watch the last few acts at Oxegen.

    I'm driving up on Thursday but I'm not sure Id be allowed take my car out of the car park and get back in that night on the same tickets. I know the last bus for oxegen leaves parnell square at 4, and with throw in at 2, I dont think we'd make that. I also have no idea how we could get out of Oxegen to Dublin on Sunday morning as there doesnt seem to be any buses.

    Anyone have any idea what I could do?

    I was being sarcastic as the poster quoted seemed to hold you solely responsible for MCD/Ireland's alcohol policy.

    So, who's excited?
    Anyone you're really excited to see?

    I'm gonna recommend one band: Fox Avenue. They're a pop/rock(they play their own instruments) band from dublin. Lovely lads, i met them at one of their concerts in the academy 2. They're playing at 3.55 on the vodafone stage on friday. Nice band to ease you into the festival experience. Their relatively unknown but expect big things from them:) they've been getting alot of airplay on the smaller radio stations (i105-107,i102-104) and the feedback they've been getting is all positive.
    So everyone should go see them:D

    As far as I'm aware, changing ticket prices after they have gone on sale is illegal. I was concerned about this happening for my first concert (Metallica) and that's what I was told.

    Fox Avenue are a pile of shíte in fairness. Otherwise, Friday is a great day for Irish bands: God Is An Astronaut, Codes, Delorentos, Villagers, O Emperor.

    Ouside of those I'm really looking forward to: Empire of The Sun, The Temper Trap, Jay-Z, Two Door Cinema Club, Kasabian, Delphic, The Prodigy, Mumford and Sons, David Guetta, Faithless, Editors and Biffy Clyro.:D

    FYP

    Fox Avenue are awful! Their fan base is all too young for Oxegen anyway!

    Does anyone know for definite if:
    You can get a red parking pass if you present 2 red tickets and 2 blue tickets at ticketmaster?

    Or do you have to park in red with a red camp ticket or park in blue with a blue one?!

    Or if you have to present all 4 of the same campsite to get one?

    Thanks :D

    Well it depends what you're into so. Was just trying to make a suggestion:/ and you did not fix my post. Bubblegum pop is jlsesque bands.
    Not bands who play their own instruments.

    Funny thing is I'm into bands close to what are called "similar bands" but they are PURE pop. Playing your own instruments does not 1. automatically allow you to call yourself rock and 2. stop you from being poppy

    I don't really care for all the technicalities of genres and whatever but Fox Avenue are one of the most musically unintelligent bands I've had the misfortune to hear/come across in a long time.

    Its basically just The Blizzards version 2.0 but somehow even worse.

    Example of good irish guitar-pop:

    I'm into "similar bands" aswell. I know the difference between pop/rock and pop. I never said they were rock. They do not have a pure pop sound.
    I've heard them live 3 times and they are definately not all pop.

    Perhaps it has been mentioned but Scouting Ireland are putting up tents for charity. Suggested donation of a tenner (I think). You should get us to put them up :)
