International R&B superstar Beyonce has been added to the Oxegen line-up. The multiple Grammy Award winner will join Foo Fighters, The Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, The Strokes, The Script and Arctic Monkeys at the Punchestown festival.
Beyonce, who was last seen in Ireland at a sold-out series of performances at Dublin's The O2 in 2009, will release her fourth solo album in the summer and Oxegen attendees will be among the first in the world to hear the new material in a live setting. The diva's most recent album I Am...Sasha Fierce, which included 'Single Ladies' and 'If I Were a Boy' brought her worldwide record sales to an astonishing 75 million units.
The Oxegen festival takes place on the weekend of 8th-10th July and tickets, priced €99.50, are on sale now.
