Oxegen 2009: What’s Hot

Alright, I’m a little late but I’ll be brief.

This years Oxegen line-up, while not as fresh or new as previous years, hosts some great acts. There’s a lot of cross over anyone who has been to Oxegen before will know that the stages are all quite close together meaning if you time it correctly you can catch 45 minutes of an act and move on to something else.

Here’s my MUST-SEE list:
