Oxegen Festival - Ireland, 2009

Dublin's Best Summer Concert

Ireland's Oxegen Festival is always one of the can't-be-beat best concerts in Northern Europe, and 2009's lineup is set to sizzle Dublin with over 100 acts and 80,000 rockers at this sells-out-fast event featuring confirmed concerts from Bloc Party, Elbow, Razorlight, Kings of Leon, TV on the Radio (love 'em), Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Manic Street Preachers, oldies but greaties like Jane's Addiction, Nine Inch Nails and the Pet Shop Boys (the latter two will also be at other European concerts this summer) and, as they say, so much more. The Oxegen Festival gets fully under way

Oxegen Festival Camping and Dates

The Oxegen Festival is July 10-12 in 2009. Overnight camping at Punchestown Racecourse, Naas, County Kildare for those doing the entire weekend of the Oxegen Festival (and everyone does) opens at noon on Thursday, July 9, and closes at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, July 13. Oxegen Festival tickets are €224.50 total for three days of music *and* overnight camping (yes, camping is included). For €20 more, buy a four-day ticket to start the fun on Thursday and camp that night, too.

Oxegen Festival tickets go quickly as the countdown to craziness commences, and scalpers thrive here: may the force be with you if you forge on to Dublin ticketless (you can always commiserate with other hopes-dashed travelers in Temple Bar, Dublin's downtown pub-hopping place to be).
