they were on sale earlier in the year for 170, bit cheaper because it was their tenth birthday, well worth it, the price always put me off in the past but I wouldn't miss it again.

Went in 2006 for the first time and haven't missed a year since. Great festival.

Was down. Good time as usual but it seemed a bit too bunged for my liking, particularly on the Sunday with the day tickets. I would imagine that the reputation Oxegen has earned for itself has a lot of people opting for a change of venue. The cheaper than usual tickets probably a factor this year too.

Wasn't fussed on most of the lineup to be honest, so spent a lot of the time knocking about Body & Soul, Mindfields and the other stuff around the edges. Enjoyed Chvrches, Duckworth-Lewis Method, Arctic Monkeys, David O'Doherty, Cathy Davey down in the Jerry Fish tent, the wee science tent, Le Galaxie was particularly class, and loads of wee bits and pieces at The Salty Dog and Trenchtown.

aye, some craic around that body and soul area, loved the rave in the woods. brilliant weekend, was at felix da housecat and left to watch artic monkeys but found them a bit dull on it, not headline material imo, ended up going back over to catch the end of felix;s set. all in all a great weekends craic, as much for the company as anything else. some rides about, unreal.
