Don't knock Oxegen - It fulfills an important role in keeping the kiddies and gobsh!tes away from other such events :pac:

Exhibit A:

You the maaan

News at 11! People in having different tastes shocker!

Yea, Like oxegen caters for different tastes in music:rolleyes:, well known for it diversity.

The day I see a Real band such as ACDC headline oxegen will be the day I go camp in a field in the pissing rain, surrounded by drunk scumbags.

IMO 99% of bands that have their name "The <insert stupid name here>" are **** and should be put down.

4zn76tysfajdxp · 10-07-2009 12:05pm

I've never been to Oxegen, or any other music festvial. Anyone I know always tell stories coming back of having drunk a lot and vandalised somebody else's tent. :rolleyes: What a load of bollocks.

Super-Rush · 10-07-2009 12:08pm

We're all missing the point, the scumbags are gone so lets reclaim the streets, even if its just for one weekend.

MizzLolly · 10-07-2009 12:44pm

Awful, awful standard of performing acts this year. To think, just a few years back Oxegen meant your €200 + would get you in to see James Brown, The Who etc...

Now we've got Lady fookin' GaGa. :rolleyes:

super_furry · 10-07-2009 1:30pm

Even then half of the 'big names' played there last year.

Chocoholic84 · 10-07-2009 1:43pm

Ah here, you big bunch of moaning minnies need a bit of positivity. This year's lineup sounds waaaay better than last year! Killers, Snow Patrol, Katy Perry, Lady GaGa....brilliant.

[POSITIVE NOTE]I was @ Oxegen last year for the first, tbh was kinda forced into it by the OH, as he was dying to go - but i was a being a bit girly about it at first: "Whaaaa? No hair straighteners? Portaloos? No beds? Eh thanks but no thanks...." And of course I was quite worried about it being a wash-out like the previous year...

But my mind was soon changed, as I can say, hand on heart, that it was probably the most enjoyable weekend I've ever had! Funfair, decent food, no scumbags that I saw, meeting total randomers and having the craic, making money from all the plastic glasses lying around

And of course the MUSIC: I remember my highlights being Mundy, REM, Kaisers, Sugababes (who would ya believe had the roughest crowd), and the late night discos were great craic as well...Oh and hey, for the very vain, there's also a beauty/hair salon onsite, which i didn't use cos I didn't give a hoot after 1 day there!

I recommend Oxegen to EVERYONE and ye should all go at least ONCE

It's an amazing weekend, and I don't really get people complaining about expensive tickets - I reckon €220 is pretty good for 3 days camping while seeing all your fave acts....[/POSITIVE NOTE]

The portaloos are quite smelly though. BRING YOUR OWN LOO ROLL...

And the drink is a rip off. Try get drunk before you head into the arena.

What is the deal with Kary Perry and Lady Gaga being on at the same time this year? What a bunch of imbeciles - those 2 would more or less have a very similar fanbase...

Should've gone to a cheaper European festival with almost guaranteed good weather.

Nope, not being sarcastic, you old cynic! The Killers are great.

Jesus, why not get Kylie and a reformed Spice Girls? Rock on guys, yeaaaah!

markok84 · 10-07-2009 2:16pm

I was at Oxegen in 2005 and ya it was full of scum, so I had reservations about going last year. But I must say last year was absolutely class, great atmosphere and a fantastic lineup. RATM were a bit disapointing, but I think that was because it was on the Sunday and everyone was wrecked, I saw them a few weeks before that headlining Rock Am Ring and they were far far better. I would love to have gone to Oxegen this year but the price of the tickets was far too dear.

Captain-America · 10-07-2009 2:27pm

I didn't go cos the bands were shít.

Apparently that's not an excuse though. It's all about camping in a field drinking yourself stupid for four days. It only costs about 500 euro too.

I can do that in my backgarden for free.

Your right about one thing, you will have to be ****faced drunk to bear that line up.

You liked oxegen, because, now correct me if im wrong, you like clubs like citibar and 21s and barcode, you think spin103.8 is great and you wouldnt be unfamiliar to too much fake tan?

My oh my, how you like to stereotype :rolleyes:

Citibar - I've been there once, didn't mind.
21s - Hole.
Barcode - Never been.
Spin 103.8 - Nah, prefer 98 myself.
Fake tan - Never wear it, I embrace my paleness.

Now you correct me if I'm wrong - you would rather a festival like Castle Palooza as you enjoy "cool" music from unknowns rather than all that "commercialised" rubbish, you don't really like pubs/clubs - you would rather have a few cans at home and save your mula...oh and you hate fake tan.

Well judging by your music taste, thats how I stereotype you. Anybody who listens to manufactured music and thinks they are brilliant, is manufactured IMO.

Castle palooza what the **** is that, give me monsters of rock in donnignton.
Motley Crue, Def Leppard,Whitesnake.

Yes I hate fake tan...Motley crue unknown? maybe to musical retards, I love going out fibber my gee anyday.

just to sum up:
POP music= ****
Indie music= Pure unadultered scutter

Ill let steel panther sing it:

Went by the rotunda and saw lots of dregs of society heading away to poxy-gen for the weekend.

Though to myself punchestown would be a great place to set of a small nuclear device or launch a nerve gas attack this weekend.

Might give Kim Jung Ill a call later and see if he's interested in conducting some testing.
