    So who are the rumours ? I'm too lazy to check back to see if there were threads on this already so apologies. Only bands I heard might be are Radiohead & Broken Social Scene - both amazing live so hopefully.

    ah the rumour mill, how I love it. On the grapevine I have heard (popbitch style) someone who thinks he's a bird now an excellent band who have a french take on things and are also playing the point this summer some guys who wrote teardrop a groovy bunch who also play BudRising South next week Obviously, if I threw out proper names, 'the man' would give out to me, although the rumour mill is properly churning over here: http://unarocks.blogspot.com/2006/02/first-acts-for-oxegen-circulated.html

    There is a great little eyebrowye feature on the Electric Picnic site. Really takes the piss out of the whole my favourite band or festival is more obscure than yours thing.

    Thought the major rumour was involving that rather spiffing band from oxford. Their supposedly headlining v and doing a small uk tour around it, so it may actually be true..

    I concur. What's the deal with their only playing outdoor venues here? You'd think that one of the biggest (relatively speaking) U.S. bands of the last 5/6 years would have been courted by some promoters? Wilco at Vicar St.! Can you just imagine it!!! Oh and on the subject of Neil Diamond expect a revival of interest a la Johnny Cash. Apparently (and i apologise if this is old news) Rick Rubin's got him in the studio and working his magic.
