Foo Fighters are a very good bet as they are playing gigs in the UK less than a week before. Daft Punk are possible, but personally I wouldn't expect them (I'd say they would opt to do a headline gig when/if they play Ireland again).

The Prodigy and 30 Seconds to Mars played last year, so that makes them very unlikely.

Can't speak for any of the other acts as I don't know them.

Wild guess, but:

Katy Perry [She played 2 years ago, doing a concert in the O2 in March, so it could be a part of that contract].

I'm guessing that this year it's going to be more pop/chart aimed again!

Doubt it. If she plays there most of her audience would be too young to go. I see her playing the rds or marlay park if she comes back.

I'd say at a guess, foo fighters Coldplay and a third headliner noone will see coming (Prays for beach boys 50th anniversary reunion)

I dunno, I could see her playing high on the main stage this time round.

Yep, same. It seems just about right considering she didn't add another O2 date.

Seriously doubt Foo Fighters are going to headline. Oxegen is mainly aimed at young teenagers/adults and Foo Fighters wouldn't exactly be that much of a hit among them. I'm sure they realised that from this year with Arcade Fire.

What's in it for her though, Surely there's more money to be made doing her own big outdoor concert (At a slightly higher ticket price of course)

No, It was pissing rain and arcade fire should Not Have headlined over jay z. As far as being aimed at teenagers the last couple of years have had ratm, the verve, REM and blur headline And they're not exactly aimed at 17 year olds.

Foo Fighters are still popular with the younger crowd, don't know why some posters talk about them like they're dinosaurs. I could definitely see them play next year.

People may think they don't have "mainstream appeal" these days but MCD can always stick acts like the Chemical Brothers or the Black Eyed Peas on the second stage if they think a main stage headliner like Foo Fighters may deter the "masses" from going.

That's true, yeah! I'm only speaking from my own view (I'm 17 ) and really the only song I've ever heard by them is "Best of you" which I love, by the way! They'd probably be worth seeing just for that! I'm sure MCD have it lined up in a way this year for mass appeal! Maybe a one old-ish headliner (still relatively popular though), one R'n'B headliner and one chart music headliner.

Will be going crazy if the prodigy (favourite band ) get announced but doubt it very much. 30STM were real good last year too. Defo going this year as last year was my first Oxegen and i was dying to go back just a week or two after.

Really hope for

The Prodigy (unlikely)
Chase & Status ( more than likely to play)
Pendulum (unlikely)
The chemical brothers (unlikely)
Magnetic Man
Biffy Clyro :P

Pulp are reforming for some festivals next year. I'm hoping they go for EP than oxegen.

FatherLen

although i enjoyed eminem last year i dont think rappers should be performing at oxegen. i wanna see more decent rock.

seanbmc

Debating whether to go three years in a row, this year I would like to see..

Mumford and Sons
The Gaslight Anthem
Green Day
We Are Sceintists
Pendulm
Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
30 Seconds to Mars(Main stage this year).

See what the other festivals have to offer, just thought of those off the top of my head.

Kylo Ren

Wouldn't mind:

The Killers
Chillis
Kanye West
Green Day
Radiohead
Deadmau5
Steve Aoki
Daft Punk
Two Door Cinema Club
Kid Cudi
Snow Patrol
Mumford & Sons
Coldplay

Jarvis ain't about the money.

Just Like Heaven

My money is all over

Foo Fighters
Coldplay

and then the third headliner something red hot chili peppers.

I'm pretty sure Biffy clyro will be back aswell.

Furious-Red

Personally Biffy before Foo's would be quite epic (like the Milton Keynes gig)

Then maybe one of the days on the O2 stage

Limp Bizkit
Deftones

Joint headliners

honru

I'd say Pulp are more EP than Oxegen.

Someone mentioned Suede earlier... I could definitely see them headline the Green Room tent one of the nights.

DJKendo

Pendulum
Kanyé
B.o.B
Brandon Flowers
Paramore
Tinie Tempah

I predict them

Any pointers appreciated

Yeah the majority of campers will be between 16 and 22? (Although it says strictly 17 id blah blah, they tend to be laxed within reason.)

It's 245 euro (assumption) for 3 days fesht and the thursday night before. 225 for no thursday.
200 for no camping.

You will probably save about 20 euro if you buy the early bird ticket before christmas, i would also recommend buying the ticket from an outlet as opposed to online, that could save another 5 euro.

Danger781

I've never been to Oxygen myself, but from listening to friends experiences:

-Bring plenty of water
-Bring dry foods
-Bring plenty of clothes. I'm probably going to wrap mine in plastic because you're almost guaratneed the weather will be ****e

As Mr.S said it's around 17-25 or thereabouts. I went for the first time when I was 16, going again in 2011 more than likely. I.D is a must as they are pretty strict on that if they believe you are under 17. Going with a big group of friends is probably the best way to go, even though she may end up going around with just one or two friends who have the same music taste as her(that's what I did anyways).

There will be scumbags at the festival, if you are with a group you're usually fine, but the majority of people there are grand. Don't bring any valuebles as people do go looking through tents for them. In the two years I have went I could tell our tent was looked through, but it didn't matter, the only thing that was considered valueable in there was alcohol :pac:.

Doubt they were 14 year olds tbh, but yeah I was never checked but I know of people who were refused last year for having no I.D.
