Oxegen 2005

Blisterman · 2004-11-24 00:34:52

Is it too early for this? Anyway, just wondering who everyone thinks should play at this. Here's who I'd like to see Aerosmith Motley Crue (I believe they're reforming next year for a world tour) AC/DC Tenacious D Yellowcard Beastie Boys

would marilyn manson play that type gig? would like to see them

Not entirely impossible - they definitely played Rock-Am-Ring before, not quite Oxegen but it's a festival... (so there's hope).

I was being sarcastic here, whats wrong with you people, it was a line from his post. I followed it up by saying, "We could go on all day".

I agree but it's something that has started happening in the UK this year and I guess they're just trying to cash in too. T in the Park tickets went on sale straight after this years finished also Reading tickets have been available and that's not til the end of August!

I'd really like to see:
Hot Hot Heat,
Muse,
Audioslave,
Lamb,
HIM (reeeeally good live),
Yeah Yeah Yeah's,
The Killers,
2many DJ's

and THE SUN! (no rain plez!)

Wouldn't mind seeing Hot Hot Heat. Festival's about the only place I would go to them though. I should probably listen to Manson sometime soon. I hear very good things. And as for HIM. All this talk of them makes me very interested...

QOTSA would be sweet, not much chance of that happening though. Foos would be good and maybe Velvet Revolver (missed out on tickets for point gig)

Due 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.

Where the hell is the logic in that? - who buys xmas presents up until the 4th???

Is there any indication what positions these acts will be put at? They're both good but wouldn't consider either of them headliners...

I've never heard of anyone not getting in because of age. They say it's over 18's. But you still need ID for the bar. Last year there was a form you could fill out online and print out that gave you permission to go if you were under age. You had to get a special wrist band I think. And you needed someone who was 18+ with you. They were supposed to be responsible for you the whole time. But I'm sure it's quite possible to get in without it.

Got my ticket already, though if Eminem gets confirmed I may have to rethink given the numbers of out and out scumbags he'd attract. May as well book Aslan to support if they go with Eminem as a headline...

Pleased about Foo Fighters though I'm completely ambivalent about the Prodigy...

Would love to see some or all of:

Green Day, Radiohead, Snow Patrol, Travis, Hope of The States, Placebo, Therapy?, Coldplay, Morrisey, Ash, Keane, Biffy Clyro, Neil Young, Bowie, The Revs, David Kitt, Mark Geary, R.E.M.....

If enimenem is at oxegen next year then it'll be aload of ****, there was some dodgy acts at it last year but he would just be too low to go for a proper music festival.

Agreed. This festival is a worthless pile. Get a bus together and take a spin over to an English festival.

overeacting a bit? i dont like rap music but i imagine he'd get a good atmosphere and crowd going, i'd go see if no one i liked was on at same time

He may get the crowd going, but it's the crowd that would go that I wouldn't be a fan of.

Good news about Ian Brown though. He should be good...

maybe a tad of over reaction there but i really dont like him, he would drag along a crowd who are into completely different music than i'd normally associate with witnness/oxegen,

I remember this time last year the line up for Oxegen had a pretty bad start but it picked up fairly well later on, probably be the same this year.

MCD only announced these three acts so they could sell tickets at Christmas time when more people would buy them. They're all sufficiently different acts to appeal to the largest possible audience and encourage people to buy tickets as gifts. The more they sell now the less money they have to spend on getting more bands to play.
