I'm thinking Radiohead will be there too!!! New album out in Feb/March/April and start touring straight away. Of course this is probably just wishful thinking but I've nearly convinced myself it's true!

Their new album is a small bit further away than that i'd say, perhaps May / June. I would say they will have their own gig, possibly Marlay. I'd rather see them on their own to be honest. They're a different type of band. Just my opinion.

Edit: Welcome to Boards!

Mushy

RHCP-pah, unless drunk when they Under the Bridge
The Who-cool but not the same without Moon the Loon
All others i just plain dont like. But i cant wait to get my ticket eitherways. Always a great,fun weekend

Yeh, you could be right! I'd prefer that too - thinking I'm getting a bit too old an sensible for all the oxegen camping buzz. Saw them in the point a few years ago - was one of the best gigs I've ever been too. I dont normally like the point. Saw them in RDS years ago, was excellent too - here's hoping Marlay

daily mirror...the fantastic piece of journalism that it is had a big article saying the chili willies were to be playing today. i was none to pelased! bring on the pearl jams!!!

Would like to see Death Cab For Cutie added to the line-up, if only for them to play an Irish gig in the near future.

But they'd probably be on really early in the day.. so i'm still hoping for a small gig in The Ambassador / The Olympia around the same time and i'd be one happy chappy!

It'd be amazing if Death Cab For Cutie come! Fingers crossed it'll be soon! Muse might be at Oxegen cos like Radiohead they've got a new album coming out and they said that they're going on tour too! The Strokes'll be coming back in the summer, they said that they'll be coming on another European tour so maybe they'll crash into the Oxegen line up?! WOOOOO! This year'll be a good one me thinks !

Yep... fingers are currently crossed. Was very pissed off when they announced all the UK dates but none here!

Still.. i'd much rather prefer to see them in a smaller gig rather than Oxegen.

Still.. here's hoping!

Atomic Pineapple

Anyone know when the tickets are back on sale?

Oxegen isnt about the big bands anyway, its about all the small bands that are class that you get to see which you might not have got to see otherwise.

Personally I hate the chilli peppers, i find them boring and repetitive, seeing them play after watching the magic of the pixies in phoenix park was just depressing.

The who could be interesting, the rest of the line up is useless too

my god it gets worse every year :mad:

I asked at a Ticketmaster outlet the beginning of the month, and was told that they'd probably be on sale during March.

The headliners do nothing for me, good thing there are a few different stages, eh?

Rockee

Only one-half of the supposed headliners interest me this year, The Who and if there's a God, King Hoff for the other....'Looking For Freedom' or 'Scar Tissue?' :rolleyes:

Tickets are on sale on friday the 3rd of march, im 100% positive as my friend who works in a ticketmaster outlet told me today.

Mushy

Yeah its on the website aswell. There is a pre-sale thing on the 24th February

spartacus93

Thanks for the info lads, wouldn't have spotted that.

€120 for the 2 days, or 145 for camping. Not too bad I suppose.

What's the camping like? Don't think i'm cut out for it!

WetDaddy

I'm there. How reliable is that line-up, does anyone know?

And Jesus, does everybody on Boards hate the Chillies? I ain't looking for no debate, but I'll proudly stand up and say I love them.

I'm definitely camping it up this year though. That means dressing as Oscar Wilde and singing Noel Coward songs around the bonfire. Didn't go last year but went the year before (the year of the raaaaaaain), so let's hope for good weather!

Chillis again ...

I have somehow managed to see these three times already and I dont even like them.

Sigur Ros pwn all those bands tbh

Franz Ferdinand and The Strokes have been added to the line-up of T in the Park. I know this will probably attract alot of people but this is really looking like the most uninspired lineup ever. Both of these guys played in 2004 and both played within less than a year in Dublin.

i agree, really not impressive at all at all. its going to take a really good push to get me going now....beastie boys would do it i think.

sbarr2

They were here in 2002 and I don't think they came since. They could play oxegen as part of theyre mezmerize/hypnotize tour

better book my electric picnic tickets before everyone else so......

odhran

The main stage line-up is looking rather blah (Apart from Sigur Ros), but it was the same last year. There were loads of other great bands though (Interpol, DFA 1979, Rilo Kiley, The Dears etc.) on the other stages. Let's just hope that it's the same this year. That said, I think it's the Electric Picnic all the way for me!

SO True.....

Aiken might try and bag SOAD for the metallica gig!!!

I'll probably go. Whats camping like? Anybody have any bad camping experiences?

kc66

Dave Fanning basically announced the Who are headlining Oxegen- then he said "oh, you're not supposed to hear that till Monday". Old news I know but pretty much official now.

Mushy

I would love that but korn are the special guests so they wouldnt also have SOAD playin unfortunately.

the most uninspired lineup ever.

Agreed. But then again the Strokes arent the worst(goin to see 'em on Monday) but not worth a whole weekend. I think the €145 tickets are last years prices so expect an increase to bout €160-€165 for campin. But with a lineup this depressin, i might try for Reading/Leeds, where rumoured headliners are Pearl Jam. Thats better than every act confirmed for Oxegen so far.

T in the Park sold out today with tickets only goin on sale this mornin aswell. Id say it might happen for Oxegen so it might force my friends to get Reading/Leeds tickets aswell

Third_Echelon

I was at Reading in 2000 and it was deadly... Defo Reading is a must for any serious concert goer... (Rage Against The Machine rocked!)

I have to say this year's oxegen lineup isn't that inspiring to be perfectly honest. The only band that I'd really want to see there are Sigur Ros. Seen them in the olympia in november 2005. The rest i've seen before and dont have much interest in seeing them again.

I doubt sigur ros will play the main stage. More likely the second stage or green room at night headline.

I'd been to all the witnness festivals and 2005 was my first oxegen and I have to say I wasn't that impressed. I had a great time with my mates and seen a few bands (Interpol) that I really wanted to see, but the camping experience was just over-run with groups of 17 year old knackers running around tanked on cheap cider... It just tainted the weekend for me, and the facilities on the campsite were crap..

I'm by no means an old fogie (25), but it'd take a hell of a line-up for me to buy an oxegen ticket again, as in The Beatles headlining...

Over-priced mediocracy IMO.

€145 is still the price this year. Might only apply to 24/2 - 2/3 though.

I did see that but when the first batch of Oxegen tickets went on sale, they were last years price(€145). Im expectin a price increase of 10 to 15 euro. Hardly even worth it with the lineup.

kc66

Every year I was there I didn't see much outside of the campsite for the whole weekend so not too worried. Worth it for the Who. Not really interested in many others.
They are hardly going to increase the price they are advertising them at? They have all the details updated- times they go on sale etc so that must be the price.

Quoted because I say the same.

Why do you go then? Get a bunch of mates to go down to a field anywhere in the country with you, bring cans and camp for a weekend and you'll save yourself 145 euro.

Atomic Pineapple

yeh the camping experience has become increasingly worse over the years with more groups of younger people going and without much in the way of policing they just go mad and get smashed off there face's.

not helped by the incresingly commercial line ups that the festival is getting each year, the lack of any intelligent security and the fact that if your camping you dont have to get one of those permission things.

i think id should be asked for anyone that is bringing in drink and anyone under 18 should have drink confiscated, bit grannyish but it'll stop dickheads ruining it for everyone.

dimerocks

i think it will the picnic alround this year for a lot of people. as for SOAD at metallica i doubt they would. System could hold their own gig in the point and i'd say sell it out.

mickymg2003

It would really suck if SOAD played the point. Dont like that venue at all.Wouldnt really like to see them at oxygen either.

Official announcement tomorrow on 2FM between 4 and 6.

Misticles

The presale starts on the 24th (net only) and tickets go on full public sale on the 3rd.

What isn't clear is the requirements to be included in the presale

-For U2 you had to be a fanclub member (€30)

-For Coldplay you just had to email and ask for a code

-For Snow Patrol you just had to be a Forum member.

For Oxegen ????

Do you have a code / know how to get one?

EDIT: Also how can camping tickets be €145 - €160, surely they're all the same?
