So Oxegen is only 20 days away ,what are ppls recommendations for the must see bands.

Ro: maaan! · 18-06-2005 7:54pm

Hmm... Good thread. Cant say I know many of the smaller bands playing this year. Of the mainer bands I'd reccommend Feeder (always good live), Flogging Molly (They wouldn't be my favourite, but they'll surely be fun to be at), Interpol, New Order, Green Day, yada yada...

voxpop · 18-06-2005 8:23pm

I would hope to check out

new band stage
The Magic Numbers [sun]: they sounded good on jools
Tom Vek [sun]: Heard good things about this guy

Green Room
Biffy Clyro [sat] : havnt heard any of their stuff but interested to see what they are like
Interpol [sat] : few good songs, might be good live
Rodrigo y Gabriela [sat] : should be brilliant live

The Ticket Stage
The Prodigy [sat] : Legend
Kasabian[sat] : some good tunes - worth a look
Bloc Party [sat]: heard good stuff about these guys, might be crap live though
Doves [sun] : last broadcast is a great album - they should be good

OXEGEN STAGE
Razorlight[sat] : great album
Kaiser Chiefs[sat]: not a super fan but they should be wicked live, loads of moshing
Queens Of The Stone Age[sat] : must see
The Killers[sun] : some nice poppy tunes
Foo Fighters[sun] : classic stuff here

knowing my luck half of these will be on at the same time in different stages

Bottle_of_Smoke · 18-06-2005 8:41pm

Yeah I'd back up the flogging molly recommendation. I'd say they could be this year's electric6. Also Mundy, alway's liked him live. A lot of people I know are recommending Audioslave, I've never heard em really.

voxpop · 18-06-2005 8:54pm

just been listening to a bit of flogging molly on their site....they will be great live - loads of hopping around and drunkin irish dancing

Wouldnt buy the album though

Maximo Park.
Bright Eyes.
Death from above 1979.
Tom Vek.
Kerbdog.

And the obvious ones:

Bloc Party.
Interpol.
Kaiser chiefs.
Futureheads.
The bravery.
The Killers.

Oh, and I will be the happiest man in the world when I hear "Blue Monday" live by New Order, and Payback by James Brown.......

Make sure to see Queens Of The Stone Age, incredible band on and off stage.

Amen.
THE greatest band in the world, revolving door policy is their only negative, you never see the same band twice... I haven't anyway!

Also see Rodrigo y Gabriela (amazing guitarists), Mundy, The Frames (brilliant entertainers and a right auld irish laugh), The Killers, The Prodigy, Snoop Dogg, Foo Fighters, Ian Brown, Feeder and Audioslave. That's my weekend mapped out, I just hope none of them clash!

therecklessone · 19-06-2005 12:45am

Go and see The Go! Team, The Bravery, Death From Above 1979, and yourcodenameis:milo.

skregs · 19-06-2005 1:02am

Interpol and New Order. to hell with the rest of them.

I suppose Queens of the Stone Age too but they just havent been that great since Nick left

Civilian_Target · 19-06-2005 4:02am

You have to see Audioslave if you like metal - they're doing RATM covers at the moment - so they're UNMISSABLE

Also, the Saw Doctors are fantastic craic, they're well worth seeing, particularly if you're half-cut already.

Saw New Order last week - they were absolutely crap - completely failed to connect with the crowd and came across as a shower of arrogant ****. Left after 10 mins to see Queens of the Stone Age who really were rather good.

dimerocks · 19-06-2005 11:21am

Sylvia Saint and also on the new band stage i think i will chech out nine black alps. we all know the main and second stage bands so no need to recomend anyone there.

Did they play "blue Monday", and was it at the start of the set or the end?

I dont really want to watch the whole set........
