Better stop now before MCD come and sue my ass for negative remarks
You must have been in a different zone than me then, as I thought Oxygene was better run than reading by a mile! The only reason reading was good was because we got right up close, that's the only good points, the place was a complete and utter kip! we seen fuck all of anything pre-PJ, so we couldn't judge how well it was organised really, the place stank to the high heavens, outside the stage area was like one big dump, and we'd to walk miles to a train station that was over-crowded with feck all trains ... Oxygene was a hell of alot cleaner, easier to get around, and had tonnes of busses on afterwards. Oxygene had a better overall atmosphere and friendliness about it too, even if we talked to more weirdo's at Reading.All my favourite singers have stolen all of my best lines.0 -

No worries. He made that festival for me. I'm not a big fan of his music, but up to that point the whole Oxegen experience stank. The Who were good, the rest I couldn't give a flying fuck for. Only 2 bands will ever get me back at that god awful place, Pj and Metallica.
I was actually quite impressed with the amount of toilets last year at oxegen, especially in the concert arena itself... they had somebody go in as soon as you came out to clean it... they were all bloody spotless. And I thought the food was great - those Japanese noodlesYum. Also, apart from the tent burning on the final day, I think we were lucky with where we set up tent cos most people seemed to be at LEAST 22 who were surrounding us... so there was less bullshit in the immediate area. The main thing I had a problem with was the distance from the car parks to the campsite :eek: when you're lugging your tent, sleeping bag, bag of stuff, drink, camping chairs :eek: and have to walk two hours :eek: . Best thing was to bring a camping chair and a couple of beers each trip so you could sit down and have a beer every now and then

I've never been to a concert there though. What about Ardgillan? When's that on? Marlay Park is usually August, isn't it?
I read this morning the Oxegen line up is going to be announced next week.The Astoria??? Orgazmic!

Ya know what? I think I just might get me a ticket on Friday anyway, I didn't realise they're on sale at the moment but I just rang TM and they are... 199euro for the weekend camping :eek: but if PJ don't play I'll be able to sell it no problem anyway.The Astoria??? Orgazmic!

Okay well my memory isn't what it used to be .. maybe I was just in a strong cider and vodka induced blur at Reading and blocked the negatives out in favour of the positives
Apart from the first portaloo we encountered at Oxegen (jesus you should have SEEN the state of it) when we jumped off the bus in bits after too much drinkin in the city centre before the feckin LONG bus journey to punchestown...the loos inside the venue were actually maintained very well
But then again I have to say, so were the ones at Reading, but FLASHBACK --my god,what was the story with the people handing out the little cone things for women to pee standing up like men . Holy crap that was a bit fecking to surreal for me!"Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
Make myself a pact not to shut doors on the past
Just for today I am free"

and then if you have a weekend plus camping you could easily exchange that for two one day tickets if you needed :cool:

Heineken Helen wrote:Well that’s true but this way I can avoid all the queuing bullshit when they announce if they’re playing or not. I’m already doing Katowice, Copenhagen & London and I’ll know today hopefully if I’m doing Vienna too :eek: so I think Oxegen on top of that would be enough

How hard would a one day ticket be to get when/if they announce they are playing?JUST PLAY THE F***ING NOTE!!!0 -

Hmmm, I don't much like Oxegen anymore. It was far better back in the Witnness days. But I suppose I could put up with one day to see Pearl jam. Although a small gig in the Olympia would be soooooo much better.I'll Ride The Wave Where It Takes Me0
