Oxegen Festival Preview

With the Oxegen Festival now only being a matter of weeks away the excitement is now growing. With the lineup boasting such bands as Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Feeder, the Zutons, Kaiser Chiefs and many more big name bands you can begin to understand the level of excitements which we are now experiencing.

The festival will take place at Punchestown Racecourse and will take place on July 8 and 9, where thousands of eager fans will be camped ready to see their heroes play over one crazy weekend. The event is broken down over many different stages, with the NME stage and main stage boasting the bigger name bands. It is not all about rock and indie music though, as there is also an MTV dance arena and also Pharrell Williams is also all set to make an appearance this year.

I went to Oxygen last year and remember spending most of the time running from one end of the festival field to another trying to see all the good bands. I've got some photos up here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gazh1/sets/759463/
at the bottom of the page. Words of advice: remember to take ear plugs if you want to get any sleep at night and if you're taking the ferry, you need to get up very early in morning if you want to catch it.
