THE PRODIGY JOIN FOO FIGHTERS
PARENTS JOIN FANS IN SNAPPING UP XMAS TICKET OFFER
OFFER EXTENDED UNTIL 4 JANUARY

Thursday 9 December 2004 - THE PRODIGY confirmed today they will join FOO
FIGHTERS at OXEGEN 2005, Ireland's only annual multi stage music festival
weekend which takes place at Punchestown Racecourse, Naas on Saturday 9th &
Sunday 10th July 2005 - subject to licence.

THE PRODIGY featuring original band members Liam Howlett, Keith Flint and
Maxim are set to perform a highly anticipated festival performance at OXEGEN
next year following the release of their number 1 album ³Always Outnumbered
Never Outgunned². This news follows their sold-out UK tour which received
rave reviews this month. Tickets for THE PRODIGY¹s Dublin and Belfast dates
this weekend sold-out within minutes of going on sale so fans who missed out
can now see THE PRODIGY live at OXEGEN on Saturday 9th July 2005.

Due to phenomenal demand (mainly from parents looking for a unique Xmas
present) festival organizers are extending the Special Early Bird offer
until 6PM on 4 January 2005. Fans can purchase weekend tickets at this years
prices, thus SAVING fans 10 euro on their weekend tickets & 5 Euro on day
tickets.

Last week the FOO FIGHTERS announced they were set to headline the main
stage. Their festival performance will coincide with the release of their
eagerly awaited fifth album early next year. FOO FIGHTERS live performance
at OXEGEN will be the first chance for Irish fans to hear the new material
live alongside rock anthems ³All My Life², ³Times Like These², ³The One²,
³Learn To Fly², ³Monkey Wrench², ³Breakout² and many more.

Yet again OXEGEN proves value for money with over 100 acts performing across
5 stages over 2 days to the new ŒOXEGEN Generation¹. Tickets for last
summers event were so hot that they sold out over 4 weeks in advance leaving
thousands of fans disappointed. The event even coined a new phase for the
new youth of today on RTE¹s Prime Time Œthe OXEGEN Generation¹ .
