Cant see Oxegen being the ideal setting for a Sigur Ros set though. Should be interesting.

Yeah, Sigur Ros- a shining beacon of singular, incomparable brilliance amidst the indie sludge. They would be more suited to EP, along with Regina Spektor, Eels and Death Cab For Cutie.

I would say you are the average oxegen goer.
MCD had a big "This is confidential, do not copy" attached to the stage times. Tossers.
Agree, when the times are announced the line up looks a bit sketchy seeing as most of the decent ones clash.
Female urinals, they don't work and your hands will smell of wee

I'll take your word on the urinals nerraw. They don't seem to make sense. Even in theory.
I'm really excited about Oxegen today.
Topshop have sold out of wellies.

I really recommend Donovan Frankenreiter for that early Sunday afternoon slot, especially if the sun is shining,which I hope it does for you. Played a great gig in the Sugar Club last year. Similar to Jack Johnson alright, but doesn't put you to sleep. A real upbeat sound thanks to having a keyboard player on board.And a great moustache as well-Very important.......

Very excited about this now...
looking forward to seeing a good few acts on this bill, too.
weather:
Some bright spells on Saturday morning but wet and windy weather will develop during the afternoon and evening.
3 Day Outlook:
Saturday night will be rather damp as the last of the rain clears away. But it will dry up in the early part of Sunday morning. Mostly dry on Sunday with some hazy sunshine and scattered showers. Temperatures will reach the early twenties again. Winds will freshen for a time on Sunday with southwesterly winds increasing moderate to fresh for Sunday and Monday.
If anyone's around - Sunday Morning, 12pm Green Room. Drop in!

Don't think the weather forecast is very good, especially for later on Sat eve. Looks like I could be settling for the tents along with 65,000 other souls.

You're absolutely right, indoor makes a big difference but is the Pet sounds stage a tent? cool if it is. Which other stage is a tent, the New Band one?

In fairness this is the nature of any festival, it's nothing unique to Oxegen

Absolutely Comet.Am sure lots of people will be heading to WolfMother alright-Should be great. But for anyone whose head might already be pounding from the night before, then Donovan F is your man.

I've probably told this story a couple of times before but I really like it. I saw them at Glastonbury on the other stage about 3 years ago. It started raining when they were on but I was so captivated I didn't notice. It was only when they finished did I realised that I was soaked. It doens't matter if it's in a tent or outdoors, they'll be magic.
