| "Up until 31 December 2006, all fans had the opportunity to purchase tickets for Oxegen 2007 at 2006 prices," a spokesman for MCD said. "Oxegen was the first-ever event to offer this type of discount."
Nice ploy. Would I be right in thinking this "discount" was just a few thousand token tickets so soften the blow for such a big price hike.

| | Has anybody heard what the line up for Benicassim in Spain is going to be? Its normally along the same lines as Oxegen but guaranteed sun, fun and three days of a beach party!! SOunds like a better option to the "15yr old scumbag types stealing your tent" crowd that Oxegen normally brings. And the price is nice too!! Thanks! | | | |

I remember reading an article (I presume from The Ticket, about 2yrs ago) saying that (it appears to be happening) Oxegen would get more leftfield & EP would get more commercial leaving us with 2 similar festivals as opposed to 2 festivals catering to different audiences ...

| el facto.....
"The Beastie Boys doing their first Irish show in over a decade; the recently reformed Iggy And The Stooges, incidentally this will be their only UK/Ireland performance this year; a rare live outing by the wonderful Bjork; ex-Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker; a hark back to 1980s punk-pop with The Jesus And Mary Chain; cutting edge dance-rock from LCD Soundsystem (who have just released one of the albums of the year); the newly resurgent Primal Scream; the first ever Irish show by the Damon Albarn-led The Good, The Bad and The Queen; Modest Mouse, the dramatic Polyphonic Spree and the eminently adaptable Craig Armstrong; Soul II Soul - who are arriving over with a 12 piece band and string section in tow! Plus Paul Hartnoll’s The Ideal Condition and the return of the Dublin Gospel Choir who will be there to redeem your souls on Sunday morning"

| | It's all about Primavera for me too - flights, accommodation and tickets all in the bag. Would love to go to the ATP festival in England but I think it's sold out | |
