    That's the setlist. If they play anything along those lines at Oxegen it'll be amazing.

    There's not a hope. This was a hometown stadium show, a big night for the band. We won't get songs like A Certain Romance or Mardy Bum.

    Even without those two songs though it looks brilliant.

    Not for a couple of weeks yet i'd say. It's to stop people from touting them. they don't have to send them out until like 72 hours before the gig. But it's usually a couple of weeks for music festivals.

    I was wondering about that too, I bought an early bird one aswell, and it hasn't arrived yet either. They must wait until closer to the time, but it's pretty close at the moment! I'd say they'll arrive soon.

    Yeah it looks a good set alright, I imagine we'd only get about 16 songs however the Monkeys tend to fly through their tunes so maybe we'll get a few more

    Sky channel 243 will be showing some of the Foo Fighters set live from the Isle of Wight festival tonight between 10-12pm. Might give us an indication of what we can expect at Oxegen....

    I bought a 3 day red campsite and red car park ticket. I then decided to stay in the green campsite. How much of a walk is it from the red car park to the green campsite?

    Cheers!:D

    Hey, ive got a provisional licence on my car at the moment, and have the test in a few weeks. So im wondering, just say I dont pass it, is it still possible to get to oxegen from waterford without going on the motorway? Does there be lots of gardai on the motorway even on the thursday going up if I could chance it going up? Or do I have to go through Naas, and if so, would that take a while to go through?

    Well you could always go from Waterford onto New Ross and then on Enniscorthy, then take the N80 and join the N81 onto Tullow and up to Blessington (few miles from Nass). You should be able to approach Punchestown from this angle without having to go through the centre of Nass. It will be an extra hour onto your journey though. You won't see any Garda checkpoint on the actual motorway itself I'd imagine if you decide to take that option (never seen a checkpoint in the middle of a motorway, it's simply to dangerous to suddendly stop cars at that speed), probably meet them once you take the exit which won't be a problem for you even with a provisional licence. But for peace of mind, you could easily go the other way. Leave in plenty time and you'll have no problems..

    Ya, everything's overpriced. From the burger bars to the Centra shops. Couldn't get over how Centra were charging 2e for a Pot Noodle that is normally about 80c in a regular store.

    Worst culprits are Dominos though..€20 for a medium margherita pizza ffs. (didnt stop me buying around 7 though, damn you stupid beer munchies)

    Yeah you'd wanna make sure you plan your spending a bit. I had one packet of crisps on Sunday coz me money was all gone. Domino's really was an awful rip off, I was camped right next to it, was quite annoying

    The site map is up on the website. The red camp is closer to the arena. If you were camped at the edge of the red camp nearest the arena entrance its about a 5-10 minute walk along the path into where all the stages are.

    Don't camp near the shops and benches, people are always wandering around there so no matter how wet it is it gets really mucky.

    So, me and my friends are Oxegen newbies, and we're wondering about the whole alcohol side of things..

    I know putting beer from glass bottles into plastic bottles would probably wreck it, so like what's recommended to be brought? :P

    See plenty of them up every year tbh. Dont think you'd have a problem.

    Neon Trees

    I seen the Blackout twice, both on a support basis. Never liked their CD's but they put on a decent live show!

    It was definitely not Neon Trees! I know them well!

    However them playing would be amazing! I've loved em since my American friend got me to listen to them when they were first out over there!
