Oxegen Vs Electric Picnic - What’s Your Cup Of Tea?

Tent Burning At Oxegen - Is This The New Thing?

So is it going to be tent burning at Oxegen or will you wait and pack the basket for the picnic on the first weekend of September?

The lineup is gradually being announced over the week for Oxegen and already we’ve seen The Killers will be headlining the Sunday night, Daft Punk and Bloc Party on the cards for the same day along with Arcade Fire. Saturday sees Muse, Snow Patrol, Kings Of Leon, Interpol (bringing tears to some members eyes! ;) ), Tori Amos and more.

But what about the picnic? Will you stay loyal and head to Stradbally, pack the bags instead for the racecourse, or do both festivals this summer? Both ticket prices have gone up, Oxegen now going to cost you around 200 bucks for a weekend ticket before you made a run to Lidl for extra toilet roll and packets of Mars bars or whatever the equivalent might be. Rumour has it that Radiohead were going to be making an appearance at Oxegen - but rumour ALSO has it that the Beastie Boys and possibly Bjork are going to represent at Electric Picnic.

Decisions, decisions! What’s yours going to be?
