I still predict, Rihanna, Stone Roses and Killers/Prodigy as headliner. With an undercard of Katy Perry (she said she would be at T in Glasgow), Lady Gaga, Foster The People, Coronas, Bressie, maybe Florence

Katy Perry won't be there, didn't she say she's taking a break from music in 2012 to work on starting a family?

She hinted in Scotland about doing T In The Park

If Rihanna was there I'd probably go and see her, tbh. Even though I'd prefer Oxegen to be less pop-orientated.

Colm! · 28-11-2011 6:53pm

If Gaga and Rihanna are headliners, I'll sell my ticket. Ignoring the fact I have yet to buy my ticket.

Pukkelpop anyone?

StaticAge11 · 28-11-2011 7:17pm

I hope they are headliners, with a line up that **** I wouldnt feel bad about going to Sonisphere/Download/Reading instead :P

Yea im hoping for that myself . Sure while your at it have Rihanna , Lady Gaga and Katy Perry as headliners with all X-Factor contestants on before them.

MCD have booked Stone Roses and Gaga for an outdoor event in July. Expected to be oxegen. Was announced a few weeks ago.

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 28-11-2011 11:21pm

Hope to fúck Lady Gaga isn't there.

Is that rumor mill or confirmed?

I know a few outlets reported Gaga playing Croke Park in July, but that seems to have died away?

Croke Park can only have 3 concerts a year and all those are gone for 2012 (RHCP, Westlife x 2)

Where is it stated only three concerts a year can take place in Croke Park?

In 2009, they had four concerts (U2 x3, Take That).

Jim Carroll had it on his blog, assumed it was true. I'll have a look around tomorrow.

After the Take That gig last year Christy Cooney (head of GAA) said the maximum number of concerts in Croke Park is 3. There was some speculation of a run of gigs in 2012 and he said that they would be welcome to do 3 nights but no more etc.

If you look at the GAA schedule, you wont be fitting anymore gigs in.

Stone Roses confirmed for T in the Park. So almost a certanty for Oxegen then

Skrillex's live stuff is meant to be pure disappointing though.

Like I said earlier, a lot of EDM acts are going to be at that Swedish House Mafia event (no idea what the actual name of it is) in the UK on the Oxegen weekend. I'm not sure if this makes them more or less likely for Oxegen. (Pete Tong, Madeon, Alesso, Calvin Harris announced so far)

Dance music is the only music i listen to for the last few years... in fact im seeing the man himself tomorrow in The Academy, he's amazing! never heard anyone talk poorly of him before... :eek:

Could Radiohead do it? Touring in July anyway.

Really I always though he was supposed to be very good? Anyway i still want to see live at least once sometime. :P
Ah yes i saw that madeon was going to be at some event with swedish house mafia but i didnt realise it was a big event with a lot of acts going!Hopefully it will mean some will also play oxegen or maybe ill give oxegen a miss and head over there instead. :P

Same here man I listen too it looooads now, but i also appreciate other genres as well! I envy you I really wanted to go see skrillex but Im only seventeen and not eighteen until April and i didnt want to risk wasting my money by not getting in. Also that means i miss Nero in the academy in march! fml :P

Also anyone think justice has a high chance of going even though they just announced a date in Cork in June.. Wont be going to that either.. fecking LC..

Radiohead won't be playing UK/Ireland until October(-ish) and will more than likely be indoor venues.

Noel Gallagher just added to Isle of Wight, this might be the first announcement of a long run of festival shows for next summer.

Radiohead are also a possibility, having sold two Malahide Castle dates on their last residence in Ireland. I reckon Radiohead could play Oxegen and then come back in the winter for an O2 date if they shift enough tickets this time around.

Seen as how Oxegen is always on the same weekend as T In The Park (6-8 July next year), that wouldn't be too difficult as they could play Oxegen on the saturday and T on sunday or vice versa.

I doubt they would go from Germany -> Scotland -> Ireland in the space of three days. It doesn't really match any of their previous touring patterns. I would think that dates in France are being worked on for the period between Berlin and Bilbao.

True, it is possible they end up playing either T in the Park or Oxegen on the Sunday but is extremely unlikely they will play both fests.

lordgoat · 03-12-2011 2:17pm

Radiohead are not playing oxegen. Playing Berlin on the 7th, and from the tour dates, the seem to only play two days in a row and then a day off.

Also Oxegen wouldn't really be a radiohead crowd.

honru · 03-12-2011 2:25pm

They could have an off day on the 8th and play either fest on the 9th but yeah I do think it is unlikely.
