Running Times and Cameras at Oxegen

magpie

Quick questions:

1) Where can you download a copy of the running times for Oxegen (i.e. who's on where and when)?

2) Cameras at Oxegen? Yay or Nay?

3) Guest list. If you're on the list for an artist performing on sunday can you go along saturday as well?

1 -> You can't. Will be available on the day(s)
2 -> Yay
3 -> No

3 -> No

Is this a "I know for definite" or a "I imagine not".

Had passes for the sunday headliner a few years back (when it was Wittness) and those entitled me to go to the whole shebang.

Where's Brian D when you need his 2 cents worth?

1. You get it when you get there
2. Yes, in fact they encourage it (see here)
3. Of course not.

They normally have it online coming up to the event but the line up can change on the day.

I think promoters have realised that they have lost the battle on cameras now that they are embedded in mobiles phones. Unless you come up with some sooper dooper telephoto lenses they are not going to stop you.

Guestlist is problematic. If you are down for a particular band it is probably only for that day. But as they say, you can chance your arm. I'd imagine the guest lists will be pretty tight this year given that it is sold out already.

Thank-ee kindly.

You can't get the running times until the day. You can figure out who clashes with who when you look at the line up though

As Far as i know you have to buy a programme on the day so they can rip you off even more.
I never bring cameras to gigs because instead of enjoying it you are always thinking would now be a good time to take a pic. Even if you have a few good shots and someone comes near your side of the stage all you think is aobut getting the camera out.

Good luck with that, hope it goes well. I'm sure you'll still set the tone for the rest of the festival that day.

Civilian_Target

Yep - I never bring a camera to a gig just because its just another thing you can lose! Let someone else take photos, if its a good gig I'll be happy with just memories

there is no guest list i thought. the bands are given passes to give to their road crew.i know because until yesterday i was on the roadcrew for a band.they only got 3 passes though.

lordgoat

i know that last year the bands well one of the smaller irish ones only got day wrist bands that got them in for saturday only so if the same applies your guest list thing...

Bands get passes to hand out to mates, liggers, journos etc. You go on list, show up at hut, then get pass.

Thanks for that running list 7th seal

Yeah, good and loud! Cheers man...
Timetable above looks right, but a bit out of date, Jimmy Chamerlain and a couple of others were replaced by other acts.

That timetable was posted a week or so ago on the oxegen.ie message boards. The OP used last year's timetable and guesswork to come up with it, it's by no means official. Nonetheless, it gives a good idea of what's going on, so 7thSeal, if you are the OP well done, and if you're not, cheers for posting it on boards anyway

hey couldn't help here the whole guest list malark.Whats the crack is the guest list literally just for people lucky enough to be affiliated wih a band .Or is it some sort of device to spread out the crowds for acts that are playing both days?
