One wonders will the MCD PR & Legal Teams try shutdown or cover up , the unlimited bad press now . In order to get the event Licence which this will be subject (As all older Boardies Know):o

Or maybe this very type of Negative Press , will attract the crowd demographic they are aiming this event at.:cool:

A wee band called Foo Fighters headlined the last one.

This is a skanger festival for skanger people. There is nothing for you here.

Might be a good idea to drop a neutron bomb on Punchestown that weekend and eradicate half the filth in this country.

The sole infraction on my account is thanks to those f**kers! Ruined my nice guy reputation!

II really don't see the problem with Oxegen and the lineup, most people who had gone in the early years gave up after 06,regardless of who played. As has been said ad nauseum, there's plenty of other festivals these days if this isn't to your liking.

going off topic here but even the fact it´s called EDM now is a pure Americanism, almost like wiping out hundreds of genres and subgenres of dance music that have developed over 25 years (cause the US public can´t understand the difference and get confused) into one nice marketable "EDM" package.
Sorry to sound like an elitist d1ck but it does annoy me.

Apologies i dont like the term either but it was easy to use for a quick post late last night

Can someone tell me if that letter that's been posted by the "Oxygen Team" is fake or real?

Its obviously a piss take

Was looling forward to hitting my first OXEGEN .... Saw the line up .... Feck that , I ll give the Galway races a shot

I think the line up is good considering they said it was dance/rap based from the beginning. Would have liked Kings of Leon or Arctic Monkeys there too though. I wonder will they make a rock festival in Ireland now?

Not as disappointed as the Garda, Medics and the Stewards.

I'd say the real Oxegen team would manage to spell the name of their own festival correctly.

ScummyMan

no

Eric Cartman

While Id love to go and see snoop , chase & status , soulwax and crookers , it does'nt justify the ticket price.

Also I really hate stepping into this generalisation as ive had a great time at oxegen before despite the rep, but it does truly seem like it will be full of <21 scumbags this year.

Frank Gallagher pissed

Would really love to see Alesso, Chase and Status and Otto Knows would be worth a look. Other than nothing pushes me really. The price is still disgraceful for whats on offer, no way this sells out . Might get a day pass if it lands right and I'm bothered when its near August. Or rock up and see how big the fence is.

Decisions , decisions.

Frank Gallagher pissed

On another note in defence of us commercial dance music fans, the line up is still very ****. If thats the way MCD want to play it, why not compare the line up to Creamfields???

The line up at Creamfields is still 10 times better and they have the Prodigy headlining.

Its like they decided to just have the dance stage as the main event, no main stage, Vodafone stage or Pet Sounds stage etc.

I think he's stuck in between being a Lion and a Dogg and is so smoked he doesn't know what he is anymore, One thing I do know is, He's dated..

He might be dated but is still one of the most influential people in hip-hop , and if he decides to bang out a load of his classics then it would be a brilliant gig.

Id still rather see a terrible snoop dogg set than macklemore or any of this new breed of 'artists' destroying hiphop.

None of these are rock n roll.

Pesky kids and their modern definitions of things. If either of ye had said the kinks I would have conceded (think they played once). Although you have the who so have a point for them

also Lol at the fratellis (minus 3,247 points for these) - congrats on mentioning one of the few bands possibly worse than anything on this years line up.

Ah all new hip hop is needed. It's still the only genre moving forward at any kind of pace...
