So... What does everyone think of this years line-up?

Bottle_of_Smoke · 29-03-2005 7:19pm

pretty good, id be a lot more excited if greenday hadn't played in ages, im pretty glad the frames are supporting and i like the killers to a certain extent, so far so good really. If I liked Rap I'd be well happy with Snoop Dog

Gone West · 29-03-2005 7:22pm

Yeah its a good lineup. Note I didnt say great. Still, the atmosphere of the place makes up for it, somewhat.

*me* · 30-03-2005 9:15am

I'd love to see Basement Jaxx or The Chemical Brothers added, they've been amazing in the past and can really get a festival crowd rocking; of course the issue of when to have them play is another matter entirely but I guess its unlikely at this stage and it's not stopped me getting my ticket

dabhoys · 30-03-2005 11:38am

I'm really looking forward to it. Just got to sort out money now

annette curtain · 30-03-2005 2:59pm

i think this years lineup sounds pretty jamming there should be a good time anyway even if you dont like the bands!!

There is such a mix of people in the campsite and there is such craice in the campsite the they should have the gigs IN the campsite!!

Now all i have to do is get some money together....hmmm *starts thinking of an evil plan!!*

we shud have an oxygen/boards beer!!!

Concentrated · 30-03-2005 3:49pm

I am really looking forward to it, there is a great lineup of bands and the mix is good enough to keep anyone happy. New Order, The Doves, Snoop Dog, The Killers, ....can't wait

annette curtain · 30-03-2005 6:02pm

yeah 2 true!!

Waltons · 30-03-2005 6:06pm

I'm looking forward to seeing QOTSA play again. Having heard some live shows of The Killers I'm not keeping my hopes too high for them, but it should be a good festival anyway

annette curtain · 30-03-2005 6:11pm

the killers are cool....well on the album saying that have heard a few bands who sound great in the studio and not 2 gr8 live!!
the QOTSA were brill at slane

snappieT · 30-03-2005 6:13pm

Is it true that scissor sisters are playing? (and what day?)

Waltons · 30-03-2005 6:15pm

Yeah, QOTSA were absolutely brilliant at Slane. It'll be great seeing them again. As for being great in the studio and not great live, I don't have a problem if the band aren't great live if the atmosphere's good, but from what I've seen and heard of the Killers live, they weren't just 'not great', they were pretty bad.
Hopefully they'll be good at Oxegen though!

Gone West · 30-03-2005 6:19pm

What band will play the campsite? Remember TCSR? The oxegen message board is really crap this year, TBH. Just lots of flame wars and stuff.
There should be more campsite tickets added, I think this sells out every year for camping.

Well, that was all off-topic, but whatever does anybody have any opinions?

Jonny Arson · 30-03-2005 7:33pm

Gagging for oxegen is me!

Definitely dying for QOTSA not missing them. Looking forward to The Killers, Razorlight, Bloc Party, Kasabian, The Prodigy, Ian Brown, Kaiser Chiefs, The Streets, Audioslave. Snoop should certianly keep whatever townies are there happy. Green Day and the Food Fighters are OK but are far too safe headline acts IMO. Keane should be great for the bottle fest. I hope Kings of Leon will be added (nothing concrete in that). There are so many other great acts playing its a case of who next. Nirvana, The Beatles?

Does anyone know if The Coral are playing? From what I hear the are playing T in the Park but havent heard anything about them playing Oxegen

Mongo · 30-03-2005 7:40pm

I hear Mars Volta are playing!!!!

Tusky · 30-03-2005 11:30pm

Not mad about the lineup...

I cant wait to see QOTSA, Prodigy & James Brown.

New Order might be fun too...thats about it.

Foo Fighters, Greenday & The Killers can go feck off.

Jesus, how did I forget James Brown? He's going to ROCK.
Saw the Foos at Slane and wasn't overly impressed. I think they work better at indoor things.

annette curtain · 31-03-2005 5:46pm

yeah but even if the bands turn out to be crap you'd nearly go for the craice at the campsite!!!!!!!!!!!!1

wilkins · 01-04-2005 12:27pm

Ro: maaan! · 01-04-2005 5:02pm

Didn't he just explain that?

annette curtain · 01-04-2005 5:22pm

yeah he told us he got them but not HOW he got them!!!

Ro: maaan! · 01-04-2005 7:46pm

He said he gets free tickets because he lives about a mile down the road. That's pretty much a full explanation...

rabbitinlights · 02-04-2005 12:53pm

If you buy a weekend ticket without camping can you leave the venue and come back in during the day? I know if you have single ticket for each day, you can only enter once.

if youre going both days why not just splash out the extra €20 for a camping ticket? th campsite is the best part of the weekend.
