I know - I bet all the partisan Electric Picnic heads are probably kicking themselves now. It definately beats the EP indie lineup (apart from presidents of the universe - Yeah Yeah Yeahs). I'm gleeful as I'll probably go to both. |

great line-up. HOWEVER i wonder would it have sold out with just the indie-as-f**k names and NOT the red hot overcooked peppers etc? or is it a case that MCD can now be discerning with who's playing given they dont have to flog any tickets? me, i think the EP vibe is much better but then i'm older. still, that line-up would almost (i did say almost) make u brave a load of puking 15 and 16 year olds |

what odds them doing like they did with T in the park and suddenly "finding" another 12000 tickets? |

Didn't bother getting tickets this year but it is looking decent. Same with every festival though, as the date approaches you half kick yourself for not bothering |

yeah, amazingly the lineup is better than ep's (who quite stunningly dropped the ball this year, i feel!)... the left moved right and the right has moved left... still, watching some of the better bands (animal collective etc...) in a tent full of pissed up uninterested kids who won't shut up sort of rules oxegen out for me |

i have three points. its a bumper triplepost! :D
are the rumours true that there are no unsigned irish bands playing?
kinda a shame, always felt oxegen gave a chance to those types. (did they farm them out to the hi-fi's etc?)
there doesn't seem to be many young irish bands anyway, apart from the humanzi/director/marshallstars axis.
also - has any band ever played electric picnic and oxegen?
mlk

Ah there's loads of bands about. It's just that not many of them are all that good. |

yikes.
i think you exactly what i mean, i'm talking about bands who do not have a major label to squeeze them onto a bill like oxegen. there aren't many, but there's usually a few.
anyway, allow me to correct myself.
are the rumours true that there are no unsigned / independent / pedants playing oxegen? |
