are the rumours true that there are no unsigned / independent / pedants playing oxegen?
You think the difference between "independent" and "unsigned" is pedantry? OK. | | | |

| | I don't give a toss if bands are unsigned or on a major as long as their good. What difference does it make? | | | |

an amazing song can be written by any band regardless of what contractual box you put them in.
can we stop taking about this now? good man. | | | |

| | Isnt it great the way oxegen runs their site. They make you feel like you should be happy that they even bother to tell you who is playing at the festival youve just forked out 160 odd euros to see...
I have to say that while i like a lot of the bands down to play, im still not that overly impressed so far with the line up. I duno, something is missing. I duno what though. Really dissapointed with the Chilli Peppers being selected and im not really looking forward to the Who. I wonder how much both of these acts took from the budget and if they were worth it to be honest.

| | Alot of ordinary bands (not a bad thing necessarily), but few extraordinary.
Its well & fine saying RHCP or The Who don't float your boat, but how many of the previous headliners got you excited (oh er) ?
Oasis, Prodigy, Coldplay, David Gray, Green Day Foo Fighters, The Darkness, Texas, Travis ... | | | |

| | Last year there were a number of tickets released in a random fashion before the festival, but you would nearly had to be checking every day to get one. | | | |

I agree that headliners are overrated and it happens at all festivals not just Oxegen. I think Oxegen lineup is strong this year not because of headliners but because of the general standard of bands.

no hoax, they were onsale, seem to be gone again, you just need to keep an eye on ticketmaster.ie, i'm sure its not the last time they'll release some tickets. | | | |

Ha. I thought I just asked a question originally, but whatever. Carry on, I don't think we disagree. | | | |

I dunno. depending on times, I'm looking at Delorentos, Wolfmother, Maximo Park, Gemma Hayes, White Rose Movement, Giant Drag, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Forward Russia, Clap Yor Hands Say Yeah, Charlatans, Sigur Ros ....
Makes for a decent day out. | | | |
