    The early bird price now seems extortionate. Calvin Harris is someone you watch at 4 in the day while your having a gargle waiting for a few good bands to come on. He most certainly is not the main course.

    I like Calvin Harris and Rizzle Kicks but they can't be headliners! I really hope the full lineup will be good because right now I'm not impressed.

    Im guessing they have named all the big acts that have been booked! Tommorow will be just a load of smll acts, prob know one or two!

    Hopefully not though..

    Calvin Harris is the only headliner announced. There'll be another tomorrow and other big bands.

    I was glad Calvin Harris was playing when it was leaked or rumoured or whatever, but Jesus he played in 2009, 2010, 2011 and SHM last year and an academy gig or two between. Not a great headliner.

    Calvin Harris biggest hits are all collaberations. Take away all the singers and what are you left with?

    Bounce with Kelis
    Let's Go with Neyo
    We'll be coming back with Example
    Sweet Nothing with Florence Welch
    Drinking from the Bottle with Tinie Tempah
    I need your love with Ellie Goulding
    We found love with Rihanna

    I suppose there is a chance that one or two might also be at Oxegen and make a guest appearance during his set.

    I saw him for free once and I felt robbed. Friking atrocious, and a twat to boot. And I didn't mind some of his hits up til then.

    If MCD reckon Calvin Harris is big enough to headline I wouldn't be surprised if Example is the other one tomorrow evening.

    Guess it really more dance centered this year. I don't mind calvin harris but I can't imagine he'd be any good without any of the people he actually collaborates with.

    Still hope for the rest of the announcements though

    Shockingly bad announcement!

    Hopefully it rounds up all the first time/under 18 festival goers so they can be left do their thing

    Oxegen crowd is typically 17-25 (and thats a push), the likes of people seeing Calvin Harris etc wouldn't be interested in David Bowie, so it would be a silly booking as he could sell a headline gig in Dublin very well.

    Has he even confirmed hes touring this Summer?

    I don't believe Bowie is planning on touring, however, Slash and Earth, Wind & Fire have played at Oxegen, and that's off the top of my head. Now, I doubt Bowie will play Oxegen, but, I wouldn't say it's an absolute no.

    Blur are playing IMMA in Dublin on 1st August. No chance they will be sticking around to play Oxegen over the weekend.

    If you believe that Bowie would be playing at Oxegen , it tells me you are incredibly gullible.

    Bowie, no way. Just because he's pretty ill at the moment. Don't forget The Who played in 06 so acts like that are not totally unreasonable

    Jesus what kind of announcement was that?....
    If tomorrow's is as disappointing there is no way I'm going.
    Do they think we are crazy?Pay €150 when you could probably see most of the acts for free....

    Calvin Harris was the first support act at the SHM gig at Phoenix Park and yet he is now headline material!!! I hope they mean that he's a second stage or tent headliner!!

    He supported Deadmau5 in the o2 in 2010 and he was nothing special. Steve Aoki was on after and I thought he was pretty good.
    He's like a poor man's David Guetta

    fairly sure Calvin Harris was on so early because he was playing in the UK that day too, so was flying across straight after the PP.

    'Headliner' is a term that gets bandied about these days, doesn't mean he'll be topping the bill.
