Oxegen 2010 All discussion, no tickets sales/swaps. **Mod note post 1927**

Lineup is kinda lame, but I rarely go for the headliners

Hope the Ting Tings are back, they put on a great show

Defo goin though

€250 me hole!

Only a couple of decent bands there. Think it's time they started calling this a pop festival because its connection to rock n roll has become loose to say the least.

Rock am Ring and Rockness for me!

The day the music died ! cant believe the line up they advertise it as a rock n roll festival but not one but two [EMAIL="R@B"]R@B[/EMAIL] acts as headliners shows where the future of festivals has headed , im not against different genre of music performing at festivals but this is a new begining! Black eyed peas will also be high up the bill im sure ,they will defo sell alot of tics this year as organisers have clearly targeted main stream chart as a method of success , personally I would of loved a couple more big name rock bands which I do not see coming in the next round! The Strokes or Artic Monkeys would of been great. I also worry about security this year as Eminem will be sure to attract trouble makers I may well be wrong but im seeing alot of peroxide blonds with baseball caps running around causing trouble! I personally would go see him but I do think the festival is missing that something special , I think Jay Z did not prove himself at glastonbury and people are trying to convince themselves he did . I really do think we need a couple more special acts to make this year amazing but I think thats not going to happen sadly.

fair play, some lineup

Who the **** thinks Eminem and Jay-Z are R&B artists??

Were you there? I wasn't, I'm just going by the overwhelmingly positive reviews he got from media and Glastonbury fans alike.

As for those thinking the place is going to be full of scumbags this year because of Eminem, you really need to cop on to yourselves. There are scumbags there every year - this is Ireland.

well looks like the rock side of the oxygen festival is finally gone and i was actually considering going this year muse the only real stand out act there wonder how many shams will be there though

electric picnic all the way it looks like

"The greatest rock & roll weekend ever"

More like

"The greatest knacker infested field of twats ever"

Maybe our cries for extermination of scumbags has been answered and they just needed to try and get them there at the one place. Good plan Oxegen. Good plan.

It's a good line up if you're into that sort of music. I like Jay-Z and I can bare Eminem but they really need to add more rock bands to that lineup.

No doubt that Kasabian will probably be the second last band on stage before Muse.

Good to see Rise Against playing there too.

I'd nearly consider getting a day ticket as I'd love to see The Prodigy (for the third time), and Faithless as well. Muse would be worth a look also.

I've seen Muse and The Prodigy before. Both at Oxegen.

Unfortunately the sound wasn't the best for The Prodigy but I made the most of it and I thought they were pretty good.

Muse were just epic. Amazing stage put out for them and add that to their music and it's a massive spectacle.

Please God let them announce Brand New.

Eh........

I never called you or any other poster a knacker at all. I'm just pointing out the type of people that this year's lineup will attract.

I think that's very true

And I must have missed Prodigy because now I'm even more convinced that this will be a scumbag fest

It's always attracted a good few trouble makers but it'll attract a lot more I think than previous years. Eminem will be massive seeing as he failed to show up the last time at Slane.

I'm all for change and broadening out the lineup so in a way it's good but personally I think there'll be too many troublemakers at Eminem and Jay-Z and it'd really discourage me from going to see them.

Would like a bit of metal there myself. Never really any there. Although that in itself would also bring a lot of troublemakers too.

Can't really win. Fair play though to MCD for taking another chance with Eminem and for bagging a few great artists. Looking forward to seeing Mumford & Sons myself.
