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

they drive around to all the houses locally and give each house 2 free two-day-tickets and then all i have to pay is €20 at the gate to upgrade to a weekend camping ticket. the reason we get ree tickets is cos of the whole traffic incident when eminem played punchestown. its class cos the best weekend of the year is basically free for me (except for beer, food and smoke)

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.

Actually I think the campsite is Hell on Earth, Much prefer the carpark, Loads of space and your not right on top of loads of people, Last year when I got back to the car, there was a marquee (sp?) with decks and a great crowd of about 200 people who kept going all night long about 200m from the car, During the night I was dragged into a campsite for about 30min and it was a nightmare, couldnt move anywhere without stepping on people or tents...... Fúck that.

plus I save €20, which is a bottle of rum.

What is their stance on minors this year?

I've been on to the Oxegen message board which I found to be terrible because mainly its just full of contradictive stories and as someone already pointed out, everything seems to evolve into a flame war which makes its hard to find concrete information.

I'll only be 16 for the event and hope to be camping for the weekend with a few of me m8's and I'm basically just wondering from other users past experience were there many under agers there camping or did you yourself get in during previous years?

Ro: maaan!

They used to have a form you could fill in if you were under 18 naming someone over 21 that was gonna be with you the whole time. Not sure if they still do that though. But I've been to them all and I've never been asked for ID. Only at the bar.

I agree with thefitz ... the campsite is great craic , always makes the concert for me !! My cousin stayed in the car park last year , rented out a van and a generator. Went out to him on the saturday and he was sittin down eatin a fry and watching the tipperary match.

and Tusky : seen the prodigy at the last witnness in fairhouse and i wasnt impressed. They might be a bit better with playing there new album and all but i still wouldnt have high hopes...

Willy Mason
The Shins
Bright Eyes
Tom Vek

No bloc party then?


S.

Ro: maaan!

I'll be very surprised if Bloc Party don't get added.

I heard a rumor last night System Of A Down are to be added? Would make sense, they just started touring their new album.

God, I hope so.....

Definetly not. They are not in Europe at the time, and Oxegen hardly caters for metal bands even if they could play.

The Shins to play? That's news to me. Same with Bush, I thought they had broke up/gone on hiatus.

Well actually their last tour date is June 26th and Oxegen is in July, theoretically they could play, but I agree Oxegen isnt exactly metal-friendly, but then again if SOAD did play it would bring in a whole new crowd. I think metal is the one popular music genre that Oxegen is missing out on.

Mongo

I think Biffy Clyro announced at the gig in Cork they would be at Oxegen

qz

Bloc Party
The Bravery
Rodrigo y Gabriela

all announced on mcd.ie

Also regarding the age limits:
