    I'm going this year and I'm absolutely terrified of being beaten up or stabbed by a group of knackers. Should I be? :/

    Nah. Just keep your wits about you.

    The most significant risk is getting your tent robbed while you're away from it, but you shouldn't really leave anything of value in there anyway. The best thing to do there is to camp in groups where possible - tents facing each other - and away from "paths" through the campsite. You should be fine anyway.

    Honestly, although there is quite a bit of trouble at Oxegen every year, more often than not the people involved went out looking for it. Don't be that guy and you should be grand.

    Will Arctic Monkeys be playing their new stuff or their earlier songs?

    I don't know how accurate an answer you expect but all I could say is expect a mix of both. They'll probably play about 14 tracks, I would say about 6 of those would be newbies...

    Anywhere on this landmass would do me just nicely. I suspect they'd be a bit wasted at Oxegen.

    Agree, a bit more suited for EP methinks.

    Don't wanna seem like such a wet blanket again, but which camp would be the safest out of red and blue? The problem is that I'm gay, and although I'm not camp I do have certain 'gay mannerisms' that knackers seem to have a radar for! And I'm afraid that walking away just won't solve the problem at Oxegen...

    Don'tthink it matters really, red and blue are practically the same.

    You could camp in the green camp or whatever its called, thats meant to be alot quieter and safer.

    Red's the less dodgy one, apparently. So we're in blue <_<
    Edit: I thought green cost more?

    It depends on the year tbh! In the two years that I have been red was dodgy one year and blue the other!

    Looks like the Rubberbandits will be playing
    Meet the two Centra bag-masked lads, Mr Chrome and Blind Boy Boat Club, who have brought their Shannon-side city back into the limelight. Their explosion in popularity has left them with an insanely busy workload. In between shooting a new show for a UK broadcaster they are finishing their first album (due out in September) and getting ready for a tour that will take in the Trinity Ball next week, Australia and New York in June and a run of festivals in July and August, including include Reading, Oxegen and Leeds

    I'll be suprised if Elbow don't play. they'd be an alright second stage headliner. But i'll take anything over BEP.

    Yea thats why i would like someone good agains BEP so i know im not missing anyone good and there will be no clash . Im just hoping they dont play Main Stage like 2009 and do Vodafone since they would only get the same slot as 09 third from top.

    Really regret not getting tickets for the gig last night :mad:

    I think chances are good...
    They were announced for Belsonic, and the majority of headline acts there last year played Oxegen too.

    Really hope they will be announced. They were incredible in the O2. Can only imagine One Day Like This being better with a bigger crowd

    They played the Dance Arena in 2009, they probably will again this year. Not sure on the time though.
