madra sneachta Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 The initial Oxegen festival Lineup has just been announced - The Who was expected, but the inclusion of Manu Chao has removed any doubt from my mind. I'm going!!!!. Saturday July 8th The Who The Strokes Bellx1 Primal Scream Arctic Monkeys Richard Ashcroft Sunday July 9th Red Hot Chilli Peppers Franz Ferdinand Kaiser Chiefs Sigur Ros Manu Chao Damian Marley This by and large mirrors the T In The Park festival in Scotland, so Milton Bridge, ABZ and anyone else considering going to it, my recommendation of the weekend is Manu Chao (ex leader and founder member of Mano Negra) - A glorious amalgam of punk, funk, reggae and ska sung in Spanish, French and English. Genius of the highest order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABZ Highlander Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 You're right madra, it's pretty much the same line up as T in the Park, a pretty good one too, but sold out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 What a line up for Sunday!! I could do something else while the Kaiser Chiefs and Franz Ferdinand are on, but the others are gold. I too am a big Manu fan: Je Ne T'aime Plus, Clanestino, I love them. And good music to have for when one has female company... What do you reckon to Sigur Ros? I can't decide between pretentious nonesense and genius... Disco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Bar Richard Ashcroft, who in my opinion, is a remarkably uninspiring artist, the Saturday line up ROCKS!! Bought the Arctic Monkeys today!! Very exciting stuff. I hear Buzzcocks, early Cure, Squeeze, Libertines, Supergrass, Wire, Gang of four, not a bad thing at all. They might just be worth the hype. Sunday - Manu Chao and Sigur Ros aside, it needs a bit of work. Not the Chillies again!!! They bore the pants off me, I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius of the highest order. I am so pissed off - I have being going to T in The Park for years, this year I was in Tenerife on holiday when the tickets went on sale and it sold out within hours. I tried to get my father in law to book them to no avail. I think a lot of guys are hitting T in the Park instead of Glastonbury this year. I was tempted by Oxegen but my wife put her foot down since she is expecting a baby two weeks later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
