Not a bad indication for what's in store. Would be great to have Blink and Weezer on the same day.

If Arctic Monkeys are headliners for TITP for Friday it'd mean they would be playing either beneath Foo Fighters or Coldplay at Oxegen. So I guess we have an empty headliner slot for Oxegen on the Friday. The Strokes? Black Eyed Peas?

Why would they be playing below Foo Fighters or Coldplay? Nothing indicates that its Foo Fighters for the Saturday and Sunday. I'd expect the Foo's will open on the Friday and Coldplay close on the Sunday with the Monkeys on the Saturday

The Artic monkeys are a confirmed headliner for Oxegen.

Well Coldplay are playing the Saturday of TITP so id say we would get them the Sunday, they just seem like the type of act Oxegen would have to close the festival

Anyone else think line up is terrible? Apart from MCR, Script, Beady eye, Artic Monkeys, The Streets and Nutini, there is nothing else that would make me really wanna go!And Script wont even be there!!

It's okay this year so far. I don't think the Script are going to be at oxegen though.

Foos play Portugal on the Thursday before Oxegen/TITP and in all likelihood an off-day would be sought between those dates. But you're right, they could still play either festival on the Friday.

All I'm saying is if Foo Fighters and Coldplay rotate between Oxegen/TITP on Saturday/Sunday then Arctic Monkeys could only be a closing headliner at one of the festivals.

Gunslinger92 · 22-02-2011 6:52pm

Totally going to Deadma5 if he/they is/are there

FTS · 22-02-2011 6:54pm

I really hope Ke$ha plays Oxegen. Yhink how amazing it would be to be absolutley locked with her playing live in the background.:D

Pinturicchio · 22-02-2011 7:20pm

Just spotted Miles Kane down the bottom of that list. That'd be great and it's also very likely I'd imagine because he's best friends with Alex Turner from AM. He's opening for them in Sheffield.

The thought of that is horrific enough. The reality would result in my eyeballs melting id guess

I don't think the Arctic Monkeys would play lower than a headline slot at either festival. I see what your saying.... For TITP its Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Foo Fighters (that order). I'd assume for Oxegen itll be Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys

There is the distinct possibility that Coldplay are not the 3rd headliner for Oxegen.

I don't get why Coldplay wouldn't be headliners?Something to do with the dates they're playing?

No dates clashing. TITP and Oxegen don't "always" have the same headliners. Usually they do but last year we had Arcade Fire and they didn't. Only the 5 acts have been confirmed so far, we are all assuming that Coldplay will be the final headliner (which I personally think will be the case)

Hopefully we get The Strokes!

We only got Arcade Fire and titp didn't because arcade fire were reading/leeds festival exclusives. Hopefully we'll get another one of those this year

+1. I would mind both, if they don't clash but The Strokes would be a better decision. If they haven't booked them they haven't been listening to us.

Pierce_1991 · 23-02-2011 2:03pm

I think its gonna be

Friday - Monkeys
Saturday - Foos
Sunday - Coldplay with Blink on stage 2.

No, Monkeys are playing on the friday in TITP. Personally, with a more educated guess;

Friday - Coldplay
Saturday - Foos,
Sunday - Monkeys

I must have missed something. Why do people think Foos will play the Saturday?

I was thinking the same. The TITP park site doesnt give any indication of whos playing what day, just has a list of acts playing - http://www.tinthepark.com/content/default.asp?page=s3_25

Because they play Portugal on Thursday and will probably require an off-day considering the distance between Portugal and Ireland. Also we know Coldplay are playing TITP on the Saturday, leaving Foos free to play Oxegen on that day.

If Coldplay are confirmed for Oxegen they will definitely be headlining on the Sunday. I reckon Blink will headline the second stage on the same night... I expect to hear a Coldplay dig or two if I get to see them. :pac:

Thats kinda silly logic. Portugal to Ireland is only like a 2 hour flight. But I agree it would make sense for them to fly to Ireland from Portugal, then onto Scotland, meaning they play Oxegen Friday or Saturday. You never know tho, it would be great to have them close it out on the Sunday night. Foe me, having Coldplay & Blink close out the Sunday night would be a bit of a let down. I like both of them but it just wouldnt seem right.

Oh can i ask, how do we know Coldplay are playing Saturday at TITP?

Says on the tour date section on their website.

The band will probably fly to Ireland from Portugal but what about their gear, lights, video, etc.? Sure they could fly all that too but it would be cheaper to have it trucked.

Not at all, Went to Algarve on holidays a couple of years ago. Was about 2 and a half hour flight, and I can honestly say it was an Aeroplane.
It only takes 15 and a half minutes in a rocket

Furious-Red · 23-02-2011 11:23pm

Most big artists can have at least 2 live rigs . Eg While they are playing Portugal with 1 set then the other one can be on its way to Ireland. Then the one from Portugal can be on its way to Scotland etc
