| | So who are the rumours ? I'm too lazy to check back to see if there were threads on this already so apologies.
Only bands I heard might be are Radiohead & Broken Social Scene - both amazing live so hopefully. | | | |

| | ah the rumour mill, how I love it.
On the grapevine I have heard (popbitch style)
someone who thinks he's a bird now
an excellent band who have a french take on things and are also playing the point this summer
some guys who wrote teardrop
a groovy bunch who also play BudRising South next week
Obviously, if I threw out proper names, 'the man' would give out to me, although the rumour mill is properly churning over here: http://unarocks.blogspot.com/2006/02/first-acts-for-oxegen-circulated.html | | | |

| | There is a great little eyebrowye feature on the Electric Picnic site. Really takes the piss out of the whole my favourite band or festival is more obscure than yours thing. | | | |

| | Thought the major rumour was involving that rather spiffing band from oxford. Their supposedly headlining v and doing a small uk tour around it, so it may actually be true.. | | | |

| | Nuts! Bleddy Wilco playing festivals here again. Another year without a Wilco gig in an indoor venue. Bah. | | | |

I concur. What's the deal with their only playing outdoor venues here? You'd think that one of the biggest (relatively speaking) U.S. bands of the last 5/6 years would have been courted by some promoters?
Wilco at Vicar St.! Can you just imagine it!!!
Oh and on the subject of Neil Diamond expect a revival of interest a la Johnny Cash. Apparently (and i apologise if this is old news) Rick Rubin's got him in the studio and working his magic. | | | |
