I'd say I know most there, but definately not all. I want to go see Primal Scream, The Go! Team, Felix Da Housecat, James Brown, Placebo, Goldfrapp, The Who, The Artic Monkeys and Ive heard Timo Mass being mentioned on these forums, So yeah i'd probably go check him/them out.



Tickets are around 110pounds. For Both days and Camping. As for the relevance of this post, Im thinking of going, its like a 90% Im going, or going to try :P



I want to go to a good festival this summer dont know whether to go to that or the electric picnic, but the electric picnic havent released any names or line ups. No one to go with etc. So i think this will be good..



Wish me luck... eh?

Good luck! :P

Line up seems awesome dude.

I would like to come but skintness is being a biaaaaatch

dude, Primal Scream is so worth it.

Cheers guys, appreciate it! :D



Yeah, Primal Scream would be one of the acts i'd like to go see there. Do any of you guys know anything about that group Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, What are they like? Any good etc?

You should go, Foxy. Primals, Goldfrapp, Richard-friggen-'A'-Ashcroft, Timo Maas, Ben Harper (who's really good, so talented) The WHO!!! What a wicked line-up!



James Brown played at a Blues Festival not too far from my house and the record store I worked at had a booth there. One of my coworkers said that James Brown kept saying "James Brown!" and "Good God!!" at least once every 5 seconds. X-D

Yeah, I know, it should be really good. Now all i got to do, is go into town tomorrow and buy it. Then see who's going, and what im going to do to get there back and where im gonna stay etc. Thats all longterm stuff but I dont want to end up going with just a few people, I want a big crowd of people I know :D

it is sold out foxboy. electric picnic is brillant but it is very strict on the over 18 only.

Aye, i found out Irish Fan, Im raging :P



Went down to buy my ticket today and asked a guy about it and he said sold out then went to ticketmaster they told me the same thing.

Completely ironic too, i was gonna buy them last night, sat down with my mums credit card but said ill avoid whatever added taxes and go down and simply buy them myself at the outlet in cash and everything.

Sold Out. Bummer.

I suppose its kinda good i didnt get one cause, I hadnt even planned who i was going with or anything. If im really determined i can buy one from a ticket tout or someone who's simply passing one on.



Unlucky definately.

what might interst you is the hi fi festival in august in westmeath. headliners are the streets, the prodigy and faithless

Jeez, Thanks Irish Fan... Faithless and Prodigy theyd be good to go see again :D



However, a guy from oxegen website has told me that MCD are just trying to stir a panic regarding tickets. He said its so people will panic and when they go back onsale again buy more tickets make it actually sell out.

Dont know if its true but I hope so, i really wanted to go see The Go! Team X-D



Im going to look into that Hi Fi fest anyway Irish Fan, Cheers.

that's a good line-up... I'm waiting for french festivals Line ups ! I hope we'll have quality artists this summer...

mcd are known to do that foxboy. they will likely magically release extra tickets soon. will get saturday ticket to see magic numbers, go team and primal scream. electric picnic should be great with dj shadow and mia and tons more

Aye, thats a new one, in my books :P

See if only i knew the line up for Electric Picnic.. I know its going to be ace but I dont know anyone willing to go with me, my friends would be more into going to oxegen.. and the age limit and the rest..

Can you find a link for that festival you were talking about?

hi fi festival doesn't have website yet. electric picnic will be announced by the end of the month
