Oxegen 2012 & Discussion

Tubsandtiles

Here are my predictions ( as reference to big known acts)
Paramore (new album in the making from January onwards but a break up could be pending also ?)
Kasabian
The Coronas (new album nearly been mixed in the next few days)
Mumford and Sons (new album nearly done)
Foster the people
Noel Gallagher (new album soon
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Blink 182
Green day
Muse
Calvin Harris


Sorry I named very mainstream acts but I reckon nearly all these guys will play the mainstage or Vodafonestage etc

BEP played two dates at the O2 in May before Oxegen last year.

Blink owe MCD a festival slot , since the date will prob be sold out by the time they get announced for Oxegen. Id say the original plan was that they do Oxegen this year followed by the arena tour with the new album but now they have re-arranged it with the arean tour with the new album 1st then oxegen 2012

Blink owed MCD a gig, and they've provided them with that. I just can't see them playing Ireland twice in less than a month

I can't see Oxegen beginning canceled next year. People seem to forget Glastonbury isn't on so if MCD can secure a couple of big acts I'd guess tickets sales will be higher for next year!

Personally if they don't get Snow Patrol, The Killers, Kasabian, Red Hot Chillie Peppers, Foster the People, Kaiser Chiefs, Noel Gallagher, Two Door Cinema Club (new album coming next year) I don't think I'll be going back to sit in a field of knackers and watch average pop acts.

I think Oxegen also need to get better acts for the early slots like from 2pm to about 6pm because this year they were hopeless bar Weezer and Two Door Cinema club.

negative creep

stone roses announced they are reforming!! wonder what the chances of them appearing are?

was quite orgasmic news when i heard it, most excited iv been with my chlothes on in a long time haha

super_furry

Christ I hope not. I'd go and see the Roses anywhere but Oxegen.

would love this

u2
jay-z + kanye west

rhcp
kasabian

stone roses
noel gallagher


this would be an excellent line up but i think its more likely to be the killers than u2. i think stone roses + noel gallagher will play if they dont get announced 4slane
green day r metallica could be possibilities too and i reckon florence and mumford will play sumwhere over d weekend

O'Doodle

Stone Roses wil be playing Oxegen for sure. T in the Park have signed them up for next year so expect Oxegen to follow suit!

Furious-Red

T in the Park

Tickets for next year's festival will go on sale in the T in the Park Earlybird Xmas On Sale on 2nd December!! Don't miss out on tickets at 2011 prices!

So there might be an announcement on of the headliners before that , would'nt be surpised if its Stone Roses (unless they do Slane)

O'Doodle

Friday Headliners:

Snow Patrol

Saturday Headliners:

Stone Roses
Kasabian

Noel Gallagher (2nd Stage)

Sunday Headliners:

The Killers
*pop act* Rihanna anyone?

I don't know where the rhcp would slot in... I honestly think they will play Slane instead of Oxegen!

O'Doodle

Westlife may even bow out at Oxegen 2012, possibly a Friday night slot anyone?

At least that would mean catching Kasabian and then Noel Gallagher without missing anyone good

Will this be the 5th-8th or 12th-15th of July anyone know?

If it's on that is.

They will either play Croke Park again or the Aviva Stadium, wouldn't be Oxegen.

Agree about Rihanna, if any big pop star is playing Oxegen next year it will surely be someone like her or Katy Perry.

I would prefer U2 but as unlikely as they are they are a hell of a lot more likely for Oxegen than Westlife.

Furious-Red

According to lots of reports , Stone Roses are confirmed for T in The Park

Ffs, i really dont want the Roses gracing that knackerfest:mad:

If that was the case they wouldnt be playing in the 02, they would just do oxegen. But there are more reasons i feel, if they were to play at oxegen, it would be their 3rd irish date in 20 months. very few people that were at the first 02 gig, and that are going to the second 02 gig will buy an oxegen ticket just for blink.

They might play, but i would be surprised. someone mentioned black eyed pead played in the o2 last year before oxegen, however BEP are much more popular than blink......

karaokeman

Huge demand was seen this morning for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, that puts them an almost guaranteed slot for Oxegen if the O2 sells out, which without question it will.

Right now I'm guessing the headers and sub-headliners will be the following starting with full headliners;

Friday - The Killers/ some pop act possibly Lady GaGa
Saturday - Red Hot Chili Peppers/ Kasabian
Sunday - The Stone Roses/ Noel Gallagher

Heres who I hope play Oxegen:

Friday - Lady Gaga / Kanye West
Saturday - Blink 182 / Snow Patrol
Sunday - Westlife / Rhianna

karaokeman - do you really think Noel will play Ireland 4 times in the space of 10 months? I really hope not

Oxegen would get a booting if it had a lineup like that.

I know I probably am getting a little too optimistic about Noel playing Irish shows but there are a few things that get my hopes up about it;

- Beady Eye played two Olympias in April, followed by Oxegen three months later. That's three in the space of three months, much more than what Oasis would have done in the past and Noel's playing his O2 date (which is the second Irish date of his tour) four months after the Olympia

- Noel is much more Irish than Liam and would be likely to play more Irish gigs than Beady Eye

Snow Patrol would be over Blink 182 for sure , i no they have played that spot the last few times but Snow Patrol are bigger than Blink

Although its likely I doubt it would be a wise decision on the promoter's part to have Snow Patrol sub-headline a third time.

As of now I'm happy with the above I posted for the headliners / sub-headliners of each day.

I reckon Snow Patrol would be good for Marlay Park, hopefully if the regular concerts there start up again next year. Still lacking interest in the series of concerts that is called The Park.

Blink I would rather see third down or fourth. Its been months since they announced that O2 date in May and it still hasn't sold out. Its quite simple Blink are too small for a sub-headliner.

Eh, in case neither of you can tell - my 'Oxegen dream line-up' consists of acts that I think are absolutely dire and have no interest in seeing.

This then leaves the decent bands that are touring playing proper gigs in Dublin.. perfect. :pac:

gaga and west are a possibility allright, and rhiana for that matter.

cant see west life at oxegen, on their last tour they would be "too big" for oxegen as they could probably sell out a week in the aviva nest summer!
well maybe not a week, but 3-4 nights

Snow patrol is a very strong possibility, but IF blink were to play on the main stage, snow patrol - blink. snow patrol are much bigger than blink

put them in slane instead

yea i agree. if they played at oxegen 2010 and it was their first gig here since 04, then maybe a headline spot.
