Oxegen 2010 Music Festival - Lineup Announced

[Carradona]

If the other places have similar line ups to Oxegen, don't go to Oxegen.

[TedCrilly]

I'm thinking of coming back over from Ibiza for a weekend to get to a festival and the ones that will be possible are Leeds, Oxegen, V Festival & T in the Park.

 

Been the V a few years ago and it was OK but a bit commercial and I missed out on Glasto tickets, a place I adore. Where would you lot go out of thos choices?

 

Wouldn't advise going to Oxygen. The line up may be quality, and is every year, but it attracts the scum of the earth. The campsites are notorious for the level of chavs in them and I have heard horror story after horror story. Lads shittin in tents, smashin up cars in the car park and tents being set on fire. If you really wanted to go book into a hotel of hostel in Dublin city centre and get the bus out each day.

 

Re the line up theres some quality acts with Jay Z being the main one I'd like to see. Eminem will ensure the wigger/scobe count is off the charts though.

[Fugitive]

Think I'll give Oxegen a miss this time then.

[Joe Le Taxi]

Get a set from Paul Bleasedale...

I have went to Oxegen the last two years and it is a fucking mess. There was a riot up by us last year between boys from tallaght and tuam. They were camped eithier side of a gang of us (about 30) and they met in the middle with legs of chairs and broken bottles etc and knocked fuck in to another. Unfortunately, seeing as we were in the middle, they thought some of us was the enenmy. My cousin was lying sleeping on a chair and he got hit over the hair with a glass bottle. Lost a tooth and needed 6 stitches on his lip.

 

Red is usually all dubs and blue is usually all cultches.

 

If you want to pay a bit extra, there is a green campsite hwere there is a teepee's set up for you with a camp bed and one plug etc.

 

Oxegen is a fucking shitwhole.

 

One day ticket will be hit though.

Remember the famous guitar incident of two years ago, Gavin?

[Crazyhorse7778]

I've been the last two years, must have been really lucky, as I never saw any problems in the campsite.

Remember the famous guitar incident of two years ago, Gavin?

 

Oh sweet jesus.

 

 

 

Wrotten.

[Snoopy]

Went to Oxegen in 2004. Never again will I return. Full of chavs and jester hat wearing morons. Avoid.

[Monster Masch]

Any more people going?

 

I don't know what I am going to do yet. If I have enough money lying around after my holiday I may go. Possibly might just do one day.

[Carradona]

My music taste has totally changed since I went two years ago and the lineup still appeals to me. Erol Alkan and Simian Mobile Disco on the Friday, Fake Blood on the Saturday, and Chase & Staus and Steve Angello on the Sunday would all be class (aswell as David Guetta and Aeroplane on the unreleased days). As well as the obvious ones like Fatboy Slim, Eminem, Faithless, Prodigy (again), Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons, etc.

festivals can bollocks off

 

ive been to so many, yet they always flatter to deceive

 

never enough toilets, over crowding in the campsites, shite weather!

 

i still cant get over the lack of toilets at festivals, just get 5 thousand of the bastarding things, that would sort the "shit out", pardon the pun

 

last time i went to Oxygen, the campsite security went around with loud speakers at 5am on the monday morning telling everybody to get up and go home, sure everyone was still pissed drunk driving home, shambolic!

 

electric Picnic is the best of the bad bunch, but it tends to have a hefty amount of "up their own arses" hippy types, that think because they wear skinny jeans and 10 year old converse they know more than the average bear, and dont forget the amount of walking at the picnic

 

i think im ranting now, it just always seems to piss down on me come festival time, and the memories are not the ones i imagine before hand :whoops:

[robbiefowler9]

Anyone else know/care bout Ash or is it just me? Also, anyone heading to Glasgowbury this year?
