With just a week to go until the festivities kick off down in Punchestown, we thought we'd pick out our top 10 Oxegen acts and recommend them to you, our valued viewer. With so many entertainment.ie favourites playing next weekend, it was tricky to whittle the list down to a mere ten. I'm sure you'll agree, all their live performances pack a punch in the videos below, and they're sure to do the same at Oxegen. Miss them at your peril...
Arcade Fire Main Stage, Friday
The Black Keys Main Stage, Friday
Eminem Main Stage, Sunday
Plan B Vodafone Stage, Friday
Tinariwen Vodafone Stage, Saturday
Frightened Rabbit 2FM/Hotpress Academy Stage, Friday
(If you're impatient, skip to hear Modern Leper at about 4mins20 and an interview with the band at 11mins30 or so.)
Kele 2FM/Hotpress Academy Stage, Saturday
The Bloc Party frontman also did a couple of his band's favouritesat Glastonbury so old fans may be in for a treat at Oxegen too.)
Yeasayer 2FM/Hotpress Academy Stage, Saturday
Wild Beasts Red Bull Music Academy, Saturday
(I'm surprised these lads are coming back to Oxegen after the abismal response they got last year. Having picked up a lot of new fans with their excellent 'Two Dancers' album since then, we expect their audience to be much more sizeable this time round.)
Local Natives Red Bull Music Academy, Sunday
