Oxegen 2006 Line up

eth0_ · 20-02-2006 04:18PM

What a sh*t line up, possibly the worst ever!
What are they like putting The Who on? The Who are a great band and all but the people who are into them aren't going to want to go to a muddy festival to be surrounded by teenagers all day.

Electric picnic is going to be a million times better :-)

Sleepy · 20-02-2006 04:22PM

I couldn't be more underwhelmed...

odhran · 20-02-2006 04:29PM

That's depressingly bad! I wouldn't mind seeing Sigur Ros, but I can't see the crowd, as a whole (i.e. the fourteen year old knackers), being too enthused about them. My heart now officially belongs to the Electric Picnic.

wba88 · 20-02-2006 04:33PM

Thats gonna be the best wkend of the year by far!

Sleepy · 20-02-2006 04:48PM

Has the line-up for Electric Picnic been announced yet?

You never know, people who are 14 also have ears....Wahoo! The Who in Ireland again! Last time was The National Stadium in Dublin in 1966! Cannot wait!! Pity Keith Moon and John Entwistle arent around but hey! The Chillis on the other hand....:mad:

Redegg · 20-02-2006 05:15PM

yea. not really what id go for. Liked the chilis before they got s##t not really expecting much from the new stuff. Sigur ROs is the only band I'd want to see. Why arent they playing electric picnic,,, ahh. so annoyed.

When I was 14 it was an absolute minority who were into anything other than music you hear in the charts and i'm only 24, I don't think things have changed that much.

I wasn't slagging teenagers myself, I was slagging the organisers because this is a really really badly thought out line up. Talk about skewing and alienating your demographic.

Nimrod's Son · 20-02-2006 05:52PM

What a particularly uninspiring line-up. It's more or less the same as last year. I've seen most of those acts in the last few months and something a bit different would've been nice (althought I'd love to see The Who). I'm not gonna kill myself to try and go. I'm gonna see what the Carling line-ups are like instead, maybe go back over to Leeds again.

Hey, its cool, Im 24 too. I know you werent slagging tenagers but in amidst all the craziness the teenagers get up to at Oxegen there are always a few listening out to a band that they dont know they'd like yet.

I'm in the same boat. AFAIK 17 year olds have to be with an adult. Not a parent. So if you know anyone else goin you should be perfecto!

I wouldn't worry too much, lads. You'll have no bother getting in at all unless security clean up their act big time this year.

deisedolly · 20-02-2006 06:10PM

This is gonna be first Oxegen, so whatever about the rest of ye bitching about the line-up I am verrry excited about going!!

Chillis and Arctic Monkeys can't wait!

Me too! Must be a Waterford thing!

Jamey · 20-02-2006 06:25PM

Arctic Monkeys.....I'm there.

lizzyrocker · 20-02-2006 06:33PM

I'm totally underwhelmed with the mediocre lineup, only The Who and Sigur Ros would really interest me, and the organisers have the cheek to raise the prices for such s**t. I went last year and enjoyed some of the more interesting bands (Bloc party, Doves, Audioslave, James Brown), but as of the current lineup, I'm defo going to give it a miss.

The organisers will want to seriously add some talent to that lineup for me or any of my mates to reconsider. :mad: It looks like its electric picnic all the way this year !!!

Blisterman · 20-02-2006 07:04PM

The Who and Red Hot Chili Peppers. That sucks.
I really wanted to see them, but I'm gonna be in Greece.

i told you it was crap-taculer gracie! and no work on the ep lin-up yet.

DubGal · 20-02-2006 07:34PM

I like the lineup, yet my mates don't, so it might be hard to find people to go with... The Who would be awesome.

Tar.Aldarion · 20-02-2006 07:43PM

Seems pretty damn crap...oh well.

segadreamcast · 20-02-2006 07:44PM

By the way, I addressed the question of Hoff to Justin Green of MCD, who said that he hadn't heard of the campaign, and that there'd be virtually no chance of it happening. He also gave me some weird looks - as did his colleague.

(And yes, I'm serious.)

bastard, i sent him a personal letter months ago.

segadreamcast · 20-02-2006 08:31PM

Yeah, I figured someone would've tried to bring it to his attention already. The prick. I also mentioned 2fm's campaign to him too - but that went over his head too.

mada999 · 20-02-2006 08:44PM

What a pair of assholes, did they not go online and see the amount of signatures?? Thats the problem with Oxegen...playing it safe! Festivals are just like glorified music videos nowadays and corporate as hell, I love looking back at the old footage of Woodstock and The Isle Of Wight, was a lot more free. Sure there were some greedy promoters but not to the extent of nowadays. Back then they'd stage a band/act for artistic expression and 'the vibe'...now its all about wheter you've been on MTV2 recently or you're hip with the college crowd....obviously The Strokes are 'it' in MCDs eyes. Bring on The Hoff!!!!!

Kazaanova · 20-02-2006 09:38PM

I was put off this years festival the minute I saw "The Strokes, the coolest band on the planet".

Shame that Sigur Ros won't be at EP.

It was an idiotic idea that FAR outlived its very limited humour value.

No it was.

No really it was.

Dont even bother attempting to defend it.

Stop it... I see you're typing something there... stop just stop... it was a **** idea.... just let it go....

...just let it go.
