Oxegen announces a Thursday Night Live Stage line-up of tribute acts

The line-up of tribute acts appearing on the Thursday Night Live Stage in the campsite have been announced for next month's Oxegen.

The line-up for the Thursday Night Live Stage includes The Stone Roses Experience, Definitely Might Be (Oasis tribute), Smash Hits who specialise in classic 90s hits, Snakes Of Desire (80s Rock tunes), and AC/DC covers band Hells Bells.

As previously announced the The Xbox Live Stage also returns this year to the natural amphitheatre in the Blue Campsite. The stage has a massive 46 sq metre, high-quality LED screen, featuring live performances, VJ sets, video games, movies, and TV shows. Proceedings will kick off on Thursday and run each day from 2pm until late.

Returning to Punchestown Racecourse, Naas, Co Kildare, Ireland will be the Headphone Disco which is hoping to host the biggest Silent Party in Europe this summer with 2,500 festival goers, starting on Thursday night and running every night of the festival.

For the first time this year the Campsite Funfair will be in each campsite. Other new additions to the campsite include lots more seating areas, open air barbecue areas (only disposable barbecues are permitted on site and can only be used in the designated areas), phone recharging facilities, and improved locker facilities.

Bui Bolg, the guys who brought the giant Stonehenge style entrance arch will return to place 20 weird and wonderful pop art items throughout the campsite to help navigate around the site. These will include lemon wedges, skateboards and a space invader!
