Son?! Relax yourself kiddo. Can you not think of a better way of expressing yourself without throwing out insults and ****'s.

Having viewed some of your earlier posts I could ask you the same thing? Oh wait I don't have to, you've made elitist snobby remarks about the people will will attend and the music. So you have set out your opinion and now want to verbally wail on people who have the audacity to voice a differing opinion. You are clearly not going to Oxegen so what's your problem, relax yourself.

Daft Punk arent playing Oxegen.

Ah he just said whay we were all thinking.. daft punk will not be there!

I'm not a mind reader, if that is somebodies point they are free to make it. But he didn't make that point to me, at least not through any normal use of language that can be understood. Glad you could take that from it, I should brush up on my reading skills because I didn't see him write that on his post.

Sure okay yeah I fell foul of a fake, my point being that the festival will cater to a young demographic, however, maintains it's validity. And to expand on that so it gets through. Oxegen has always catered for the mainstream so why complain about them doing what they do! It's pointless!

I think I'd agree with Philio to some extent. If you don't like the lineup for Oxegen, don't go. There's plenty of other fish in the sea. The way some people are going going on here and on FB, you'd think MCD had an obligation to cater the lineup towards them. There's such a variety of festivals on this year (to the extent that you'd wonder how they're all going to make money), there's something for everybody.

Personally I can't wait for oxegen. It should mean that this thread is dull for 2 days before the **** storm that will arrive on the Monday.

Now I am not into dance so don't know that much about it but even if they are moving to more of a dance feel it still looks like they have done a bad job

i love dance music, i go to see an international DJ every week or 2 in Dublin. i wouldn't go near oxegen based on the names so far.
i'm hoping they continue with the pop-dance and commercial hiphop acts, and don't book anyone i like at all, so i won't be tempted to head down for a day if there's any acts i really want to see.
i'm absolutely loving the (awful) lineup so far!

Sure thats why its going to be there, the way I think MCD see it they want to have these scanger dance festivals as far from Dublin as possible, hence, none of the headaches of Pheonix Park.

Labrinth just announced

I think one of the comments on Facebook put it quite well.

Saw him for FREE at the Savoy in Cork before Christmas!! Awful!!

The way the announcements are being done bit by bit would make you think that MCD are using today to "ring around" and see who wants to play!!!!

Whatsernamex33

Think we need a proper rock festival again to be honest.

This line up so far is woeful.

Eathrin

It will definitely still sell well. A lot of people will be going for the sake of going to Oxegen.

Is this a joke?

As awful as the lineup is, its still probably going to sell very well. Don't think MCD care to much about the quality of the lineup, its not Europes "best rock n roll" weekend anymore :pac:

Ahh here they only ever claimed to be the most rock and roll, not the best :P

They still won best European festival in the past, how? I do not know.

The line ups were huge though. Artic Monkeys, Beyonce, Deadmua5, The Strokes, My Chemical Romance, Stereophonics, Swedish House Mafia, The National etc. Were headlining huge festivals in the UK the same year you could fly over to Oxegen and see the same sets with full production on in the middle of the day/on second stage, as well as the Oxegen headliners themselves. In terms of line up it was actually one of the best in Europe. Was.

I am 19 and you could not pay me to see any of the acts announced so far!

It's not that your old, it's that the acts are pathetic :pac:

Weirdest lineup ever, I wouldn't be the least bit suprised if Donna and Joe were playing.

Whatever this festival is, it's not Oxegen anyway.
