    not intrested myself but seems like a good line up if you like that sort of music.

    its deff an older type of market there going for in ireland this year for summer shows. usually have a load of gigs to go to but only Bryan Adams and Bruce Springsteen in may and the Stone roses in manchester in June. nothing for july/august :(:(:(

    As Snoop said at Oxegen one year:

    "When I say "Punches" you say "Town""

    "Punches"

    "Town"

    "Punches"

    "Town"

    Can't believe they're putting this on in a field in Kildare. Has The Aviva priced itself out of summer gigs or are they holding it for Coldplay.

    I picked up some presale tix for this yesterday. Would not normally be interested but I thought he was excellent at Glastonbury. Wouldn't mind seeing Albert Hammond, Shane Filan I might go to the bar when he's on.

    Can't find much info on the gig. Is it just one stage? Is there many more to be added?

    I really can't see this one selling well.... Does his target audience want to stand in a field all day? Nothing against them btw, I just remember the likes of the Barbara streissand debacle from a few years back

    Anyone hear any more about this? interested to see when the rest of the acts will be announced. Had a look at the planning application online and they have two stages, so quite a few more to be added I would say.

    Lionel Richie looked like good craic when he was at Glastonbury last year but the rest of the lineup does nothing for me. And I still have nightmares about getting to and from there the last time (AC/DC) so I'll never go to a gig there again, no matter how many free tickets they give away

    well there used to be parking for Oxegen many moons ago so I'd say they have to provide parking.

    I have no interest in any of them bar Lionel Ritchie. 2pm start, no thanks. So is it possible to arrive at say 8pm , or do you need to be there close to the start time of 2pm?
    Why they couldn't have just had him in the 3 Arena would have been so much easier :/
