Wrong country !!!ha

I'd love to see Underworld again....they were very good in Marlay Park a few years back when they supported Basement Jaxx.

lanyonwhites

dave clarke

lanyonwhites

underworld

jtsuited

blackout crew.

although it would actually increase the amount of credibility Oxegen has at this stage.

electrogrimey

Tiesto, Calvin Harris, and Van Buren. Just to make sure they don't waste any spaces on the EP line-up.

burkey85

Never happen but some proper house djs.
Kerri Chandler, Jimpster, Danny Tenaglia, Charles Webster.
Would also be deadly to get Villalobos or maybe Richie Hawtin as part of his Plastikman tour.
But if you don't play electro, you rarely play Oxegen.

jtsuited

yeah jimpster and charles webster would be real interesting to see at something like oxegen. be nice to have music with deepness and subtlety to offset the noisy electrohouse over the topness of the average oxegen dance arena.

KevIRL

Get Tiesto in, that would ensure pretty much all the undesireables in the country would be in the one venue for the weekend, a well placed bomb then....

ItsAWindUp

Daft Punk, Leftfield, Orbital, Underworld to name but a few.

Leftfield are very likely to play Electric Picnic. Orbital I'd guess will go to Oxegen, because they're touring and they played EP last year. Daft Punk won't be anywhere this summer.

Cheers for all of the replies and emails.

Looking forward to hearing Faithless at oxegen after listening to this weeks essential mix

why so serious?

I hope, for the sake of humanity, that you're not arguing that Oxegen isn't a knackerfest?

I was there in 2007, had a great time, and saw Daft Punk, which was incredible, but it's a complete knackerfest. Anyone who goes to any other festival will realise this, along with realising that in terms of non-musical activities and facilities, Oxegen is a joke compared to most festivals. Its only saving grace is the fact that it gets the most popular acts every year, out of nearly any festival in Europe, and the fact that you'll probably see all yer matez there, and yizzil have a deadly time ourra yer bin together. At least I did. Didn't go back though, and I don't understand those who do.

daniel91

deadmau5 and Daft Punk.........they have to be there!

kilmovee

Crystal Swing

cian1500ww

Definetly deadmau5.
Is it just Faithless that's playing or is it Faithless sound system ?? Their essential mix last week was brilliant

burkey85

Standard Faithless set afaik

Thanks Jonny, i was there myself last year for one day/night. I was with some good people and we had a brilliant time.

Calvin Harris was excellent lear year, so good that I went to Marley Park (lets not talk about that day again) to see him with Fat Boy Slim, with Calvin as my no. 1 for the day but the prick played at about 4 that day just as the place was starting to fill up and shagged off to do a festival in Spain, or so I heard. A lot of people were rightly pissed off with him cause of that so he can get the slow boat to China as far as I'm concerned.

Why on earth would you get pissed off with an artist because of timeslots?

You DO realise there's agents and promoters involved too?

They don't just all rock up to the stage with their bags and toss coins about who gets to finish up last you know... It's not a gaff party in Santry.

Amadán head line acts are supposed to play near the 'end of the gig'. Gaff, party, Santry Not 'Executive' enough for you, sure besides you are Best to stay down in the countryside where it's nice and safe.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a "serious" dance music forum and one for "the kids" on here....


Some people's perception of value for money seems to be hearing orbital, faithless, basement jaxx and co slopping out the same old crap year in year out, same bloody set every time. How can anyone want to hear any of those live sets again? Just download a recording of one, and it'll be the same for every festival they do for the summer.

And as for oxegen not being a knacker fest? Seriously, come on now...

Calling someone amadán for pointing out your mistake...
And yet, stunningly, failing to see that that act has virtually nothing to do with the time they end up playing.

You're to be taken seriously alright.

Nah - he just referenced a mildly sarcastic (bordeline trolling) comment I made on some AH thread a few weeks ago, just thought it was odd, no offence to me south coast bredren!

Pretty much the hottest mainstream acts of 2007. Out of the lot, the last four on the Friday night are probably the only ones I'd considering dandering over to.

hans aus dtschl

This thread prompted me to look at the line-up.

The red bull stage actually looks reasonably good.
The rest of the festival line-up looks like a ball of sh1t.

Don't think there's a single act in the dance arena that I'd cross the road to hear.

Bitches with wolves and Dublin streets ffs

Dublin Streets is a photo blog for Sth William Street hipsters, so they're eminently qualified to play a DJ set at Ireland's biggest festival.

Chase & Status will be fun.

daft punl of course and david holmes in his hey day

Thank god Plastikman isnt playing Oxegen. I thought he was a dead-cert after he was named for TITP.

Eddie Ere

I might wander over and see Popof. Maybe.





If I was going of course. Which I'm not. Because it looks ****.

Why would it actually matter to you?

Wolf Club

Well I'm not going, but if I was, Plastikman would definitely be one I'd be hoping to be announced. Of the acts that are playing; Popof, Chase & Status and Erol Alkin would be ones I'd be looking out for.

g5fd6ow0hseima

Well because if he was playing Oxegen that would mean that I would have had to fork out money to those ***** MCS for a day ticket to that cuntin festival and having to suffer all those dirty trampish knackers shouting 'wuh, wuh, wuh' and 'yip ouvvah' during Hawtin's set.

Do you understand what im saying?

I hear ya.

I thought you were aghast (as some fanboys would be) at the thought of Hawtin sacrificing his musical integrity by playing Oxegen.
