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.

no, they definitely won't.

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

I know that, but the lyrics just went and stuck in my head... It was only till after I realised the name of the band.... I think they may have finished after the main stage act... Think I was in the blue side that time aswell...

Can I ask why you are able to say with such conviction?

Somebody else mentioned that they will no longer have many of the acts from T in The Park because of Oxegen's new date on 3rd of August, but I don't see how that would preclude them. T in the park is on a few week previously in July.

What would settle it is if many of these acts are already booked at an alternative festival on 3rd August weekend, so I guess that's what I'm asking?

There are 2 alternate festivals on the same weekend in August in America and a lot off great acts going to both so there's no chance off them acts going I'm afraid, the likes off Mumford and sons, Phoenix, vampire weekend, the lumineers, Steve angello, Steve aoki, alt j and a lot more so it will be interesting who oxegen will get!

Hope Green Day/ Paramore aren't playing this. Would much prefer to see both do their own headline shows.

simply because MCD want their money! It makes no sense to have the same acts playing both festivals.

Hello, I have a problem I need help with.
This year I was thinking about going to Oxegen. I am 17, and have been since January. So I went onto oxegen.ie FAQ and checked the age restricition and it said 17, but then I went to ticketmaster and it said 18, along with the oxegen news feed. So now I am really confused. I don't know anyone over 25 who is going, so I don't know anyone too go with me. I was wondering could anyone clarify this age restriction for me. I e-mail oxegen.ie also. but they say they won't reply to a question that is answered in the faq section so I dont no if they will reply.

Could you please help.
Thanks

The FAQ hasn't been updated since 2011, seemingly this year is strictly 18's whether yo';ve an over 25 or not, will no more in the morning, but at the. minute it's looking like you'll need to scam an age card off soemone

More then likely will be 18+ if your by yourself, or you'll be allowed in if your <18 if a "guardian" signs you in (basically find someone old in the queue to sign you in).

Thats what it was like for previous Oxegens, might be different this year.

Yeah think it could be different by what's been said so far.

OXEGEN 2013 capacity is limited to 50,000 and subject to license. Strictly over 18s Garda ID/Passport required

They might expand on this next week when tickets go on general sale or whatever, but I bought early bird tickets for 2010/2011 and they both say 17+ kids with adult 25+ etc.

Not sure how strict they'll be about it to be honest, as said it's never been 18+ before. But MCD's 18+ gigs in say, the academy are really strict, so I don't think I'd personally risk it if it stays at strictly 18+.

ghostdancer

with SHM last year, and a seemingly similar choice of acts for Oxegen this year, i'd imagine they'll be strict as fukc on ID, with a lot of searches on the way in....

The searches at Irish festivals are pathetic tbh. Some guy literally just asked me if I had glass or a knife in my bag, and when I said no (i had loads of bottles) he just waved me through :rolleyes:

Same with searches into the arena, half the time they just wave everyone through.

That goes for EP aswel.

They need to have a much bigger security presence on the campsites / arena / much better searches going into the campsites and arena.

Yup they're are always pathetic when it comes to searches,
but if it is strictly 18s MCD are annoying as hell in looking for the ID..

Usually they just look for the tickets, unless you actually do genuinely look like a 12 year old.

Any chance it could be a similar lineup to Reading/Leeds festivals? Any rumours?

That's what I'm expecting, due to them both being festival republic ran festival, and with a few weeks of eachother also.

With it being a two dayer, and eminem already booked in at slane.. The two remaining reading headliners, G.D and Bifffy) could both easily headline a festival here.

The have a dance stage featuring Calvin and Skrillex(whos at reading), add in tiesto/avvicci and boom. 2 stages, diverse lineup, happy campers.

Last year at David Guetta in Marlay Park it was fairly strict, 100 times better than Swedish House Mafia and Oxegen 2011 was! I was giving a proper search and they were taking random people aside for drug searches.

I'm in the same position as the guy a few posts before me, I'm 17 but I really want to go, I look old enough for my age and could pass for an 18 year old but would MCD be strict on checks?

If anyone has any experience with this I'd really appreciate it, thanks

They were looking for ID at Guetta but eventually they let a mate of mine in underage. You should be able.

That was just after the SHM fiasco though, so hopefully they have't forgotten...

--

Please no posts about fake ID's etc/links etc etc

If your under 18, and look it, then you'll probably be asked for ID. No one can tell you that they won't ask you to produce ID, i'm 22 and sometimes still get asked for ID~.

really?....

podgemk

Skrillex
Knife party
Hardwell
Rhcp
Nicky Romero
Dada life
Tiesto

Madeon

Yup! Granted its rare but still happens, just pointing out that it can happen!

Theres always a fair few kids at EP/Oxegen that get refused at the gate for having no ID and they've pretty much wasted the guts of 200euro.

I'd say Oxegen is going to be very strict this year.

I cannot remember the last time I was Id'd, I'm 22 also.

I have seen plenty of people get turned away aged 16. I just about got in when I was 16, after being Id'd I was brought through to where you sign in with someone over 25, nobody happened to be there at the time and I walked through. Pure luck. Its not worth the risk imo.

Joekers

Music Scene just posted a photo of Jay Z on facebook with a lot of question marks im gona guess he will be one of the headliners
