    Tickets go on sale this Friday. Don't think I could hack the three day camping. What's the story if you buy a day ticket? Can you use it for any of the days or do have choose the day when you are buying?

    Been a while since I've been to Oxegen but I'd never recommend someone to camp there. It's way too messy. I've been to other, far better run festivals and had no problem camping. Oxegen just attracts a lot of drunk eejits. It's been 3 years since I was there though so maybe it's cleaned up its act a bit.

    You can get 3 day passes aswell if you want to go all of the days, but not camp.

    There are generally quite a high number of drunken, ignorant people at this festival. Mainly a young crowd but I wouldn't discourage anyone from going. It's a great weekend and if you find a nice place in the corner somewhere to camp it's great.

    doesnt matter if its 90% the same lineup as the last 3 years, the same plebs will continue to go and make millions for MCD.

    or you could just go to a better run European Festival for the same price including your flights and have much more fun.

    Or you could just work security at it,get paid to watch the bands and make sure gorgeous girls in very little arent up to much.All of this and the missus is delighted that your bringing in a few extra quid.Its a win win
