So you have to be 17 to get in yes ?

And when are the tickets going to go up in price ? Can't check here atm.

Yeah you have to be 17. You could get lucky and not get asked for ID, but I wouldn't risk it. Tickets go up in price whenever they go back on sale again, which is usually around the beginning of March

If your 15 or over the chances are you will get in if you buy a camping ticket. If you buy a day ticket its harder but if you hang around for a while someone will sign you in, they have to be over 25 and accept responsibility for you.

AGE RESTRICTIONS

What age do I have to be to attend OXEGEN?

OXEGEN is strictly 17s and over only – ID required and will be checked rigorously before entry.
Under 17s will only be admitted if accompanied by guardian/relative 25 years or over who will sign for and accept responsibility for said person. Policy will be strictly enforced – persons who purchase and ignore conditions will be refused entry with NO refund.

What if I turn 17 the day after OXEGEN?

Unfortunately – rules are rules and if you are under 17 on arriving at OXEGEN you will not be allowed on site without a guardian/relative 25 years or over who will sign for and accept responsibility for you. If you are under 17 please do not turn up to the festival without a guardian as policy will be strictly enforced and persons who purchase tickets and ignore conditions will be refused entry with NO refund. If you are 17 or over please make sure you bring ID.

How do I prove my age at OXEGEN?

When entering the festival you will need to prove your age so please bring a passport, photo driving license, Garda ID or official school or college ID with a colour photo copy of your passport. School or college ID must be official on a credit card format, not on a laminated piece of card.

I am accompanying someone under 17, do I have to stay with them the entire time?

Any adults accompanying an under 17 year old will be asked to sign an agreement to be responsible for them for the duration of the festival. You will be responsible for their wellbeing and safety so you will need to be with them for the vast majority of the time to guarantee this.

Is there a limit to the number of under 17 year olds I can be responsible for?

Adults can accompany a maximum of four under 17 year olds at the festival, any more under 17 year olds and there will need to be more adults.

I have a child under 5, can I bring them to OXEGEN?

There are no facilities on site for children under 5 and the promoter recommends that the festival is not a suitable environment for a child. Everyone attending the festival needs a ticket for entry so if you bring a child, make sure you have a ticket for them.

Oxegen.ie is your FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went when I wasn't 17. Anyone I know who wasn't 17, and went, shockingly enough got in. IMO its worth the risk.

I'd love The Streets to play, I think they're class. But I can't fcukin stand Mumford and Sons.

Anybody have any idea when the next announcements will be?
Also wondering if The Strokes are a good shout seeing as they're playing Benicassim?

I cant see the Strokes being announced, i would fecking love it if they were but I doubt it. They're headlining beni arent they? Dont think they would come to play a lower slot at oxegen, probably will be playing in the o2 or Olympia at some stage soon and that'd be better anyway

Strokes wouldn't play The Olympia, they could sell it out 10 times over. They are a shout for Oxegen, I don't think they'd mind playing second last or whatever but I think an O2 gig would make more sense. They could do both, ye never know

Sure didnt Kasabian headline Beni last year and then played 2nd last on Main. Maybe a AM/Strokes co headline slot could work

Just Like Heaven

Why wouldn't the strokes headline/play? They've headlined before and are clearly touring this summer.

Is it true that Oxegen are not doing day tickets this year, would they not be shooting themselves on the foot considering that the festival hasnt sold out for the last few years.

Yup, they cant start selling the day tickets yet as it is unknown what days the bands will be playing yet.

They tried last year to sell them and nobody knew who was playing what day. Im getting a day ticket for whatever day the foo fighters are on. Hopefully its friday so i can try stay in for the full weekend

karaokeman

I don't think I can afford the whole weekend this year, but I will see when the time comes. Will probably go the day Artic Monkeys are playing.

Btw does anyone think there is a chance Coldplay might play this year. They are doing other European festivals like Rock Am Ring and Rock In Park in Germany.

Well I heard from a few folk that it was becoming just a camping festival, the Electric Picnic made theirs just camping after the 2005 one, I think.

AdMMM

Your "few folk" don't have a clue, with all respect.

StaticAge11

I hope Coldplay dont play, I would be really disappointed if they were the last headliner =/

Id say these will play either in Dance Arena or Green Room

jill_valentine

Cracking stuff.

Tapes For Dancin' would go down quite nicely too, alright.

seafood dunleavy

Do Kasabian have a chance of playing?Missed them last year.

StaticAge11

Their playing Isle of Wright, and touring in April, May with new material, but I highly doubt it. Weren't Kasabian on the group of acts ruled out?

Tom said the other day they plan to play a short UK tour, playing small venues of about 1500-2000 capacity. Hopefully they might play an Olympia show or something
