It might be predictable but the thing is, where else this weekend can you get such a mashup of international artist and Irish artists of the highest quality at one location, with tickets still on sale. Oxegen IS the event of the week, even the gigs this week are quite sparse as they know 80,000 gig going individuals will be in a field.
If your NOT going to Oxegen, might i suggest going to Temple bar for their Summer Sensational which is running from Thursday to Sunday (details HERE). Snoop is playing The Olympia tonight, The High Kings start a short residency for the week in the Sugar Club on Wednesday and Duke Special will be at Leopardstown Races Live.
