According to a post on the Oxegen website today, Kings of Leon, are the first headlining act to be announced for Oxegen 09. The Followill boys are returning to the festival due to phenomenal demand from the fans, as they topped a poll on Oxegen.ie. The Kings' Irish arena dates around Christmas time sold out in minutes, and fans don't seem to be getting tired of them anytime soon.
Oxegen organisers have "vowed" to make Oxegen "The Fans' Festival" by continuing to take their suggestions on board in the future. More acts are set to be announced in the next few weeks and we'll make sure you're updated as soon as they happen. "Informed sources" have told Hot Press that Snow Patrol and The Killers are likely to be among those acts, making it probablt that this year's Oxegen will be yet another sellout.
