Oxegen 2013

Lads, Oxegen is meant to be a dance/rap festival this year hence why Longitude and other concerts such as Mumford and Sons and The Killers are on. Or am I wrong?

They may as well get Knife Party too, just for irony.

No superior knowledge at all. I just don't see why people post stuff from 'sources' that don't exist.

It was rumoured to be a dance rap festival but that rumour disappeared very quickly. The outdoor gigs such as Marlay park have always been on regardless of oxegens existence

I would imagine though there'll be a dance stage, which'll be entirely EDM nd hiphop and a separate main stage which will have more rock/pop acts

Must have some ears to have heard them considering they were playing in a tent near the main stage in 2008.

Just seen this posted on facebook, http://www.oxegen.ie/line-up-demo/

Is this the line-up??

Edit: Obviously not. Seems to be kind of 2010's line-up.

Wouldn't be as big a surprise as some might think. They have played quite a few 'commercial' festivals on recent years. Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, Leeds/Reading, Sziget etc. usually pulling a solid 25,000-30,000. They also usually dont go on stage after 9/10pm, so in many cases other bands will go on after them despite technically being headliners.

Throw into that that they are doing a 'classic' song tour, have a new DVD out, the smaller auidence at new oxegen, and MCD wanting to re-brand after the shambles of last summers 'dance/rap'gigs in Phoenix Park, and previous oxegen editions and you never know.

Seeing them towards the top of the poster would give a real indication of Oxegen going back to it rock roots.

I could really see them going on around 9pm playing a full set and someone like biffy clyro or even the prodigy going after them for an hour and a bit set. If they were to play of course which they probably wont.

I wonder how many - if any - acts will be 'shared' from Longitudes lineup....they're both MCD but not sure where MCD stop and Festival Republic begin, think they're very closely aligned.

Just Like Heaven

Would imagine more or less none, bar one or two small Irish bands maybe.

Original Rudeboys should be there I reckon.

Hannibal

looking at V Festival which is a couple of weeks later they have:
Kings of Leon, Beyonce, The Script, Beady Eye, The Stereophonics, Travis, Ocean Colour Scene etc

Hard Rock Calling a month earlier in London have gone for:
Springsteen, Kasabian, Black Crowes, Paul Weller so I presume Oxygen could/should be a similar line up to both these although without Springsteen and I think Kasabian are playing in Dublin a month before it. Also and it's highly unlikely but The Rolling Stones are touring and also The Stone Roses are knocking around.

Jeden

Yeah good few of those have played Oxegen before.

I think the lineup they're most closely associated with in the UK is T in the Park which has quite a few of the same headliners as Longitude.

We'll find out soon enough, but for my money, there'll be a few of the big boys like Kraftwerk, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Modest Mouse popping up at Punchestown too.

I don't think there would be many surprises to see two door cinema club, the script, stereophonics and others on the T in the Park lineup when Oxegen makes it's announcement on Monday morning.

Would imagine we coul;d get a few from Reading also, as that's a festival republic festival.

Aphex Twin better not play Oxegen, its EPs turn this time, if he plays Oxegen I will go demented.

With the change of date, they won't be so closely attached anymore.

They're playing in Germany in late July, so it's possible.
