Callum: Hello, I’m Callum Robinson and this is Entertainment. Our topic today is films and film festivals. You may have heard of the Venice Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival, glorious occasions with A-list celebrities from the movie world turning out to promote their latest projects. A festival you might not know is the Portobello Film Festival which is currently taking place in Portobello, an area of West London. It’s had its own independent film festival for a number of years and to learn more about it I’ve invited the festival’s director Jonathan Barnett. So, Jonathan, could you tell us about when and how the festival started.
Jonathan Barnett: Well, it started in 1996 because even back in those days there were people making very low budget films often using video equipment and there wasn’t really anywhere for them to show their films so we thought it would be nice to provide a platform for these filmmakers. We had the mad idea at the time of showing every film that was submitted and we also decided not to charge because I suppose at heart we weren’t rabid capitalists.
Callum: So the festival started as a way of giving unknown filmmakers somewhere to show their films. As Jonathan said, to give them a platform. Then I’ve got a question. How many films are being shown and how do you manage to pay for it, for running the festival, I mean?
Jonathan Barnett: This year we’re showing 700 films. The money comes in from funding mostly, we get money from people and organizations like Film London and the Arts Council and we also get different kinds of support from sponsors. So we don’t have to pay for advertising, we don’t have to pay for launch parties, we don’t have to pay for prizes.
Callum: Over the first three weeks of August 700 films are being shown as part of the Portobello Film Festival. What kind of films can be seen? Are they just short student films or does the festival attract big names as well? Here’s the festival’s director Jonathan Barnett.
Jonathan Barnett: The actual films we’re showing are a lot better than anything you’ll see on TV or on multiplexes and it’s everything from student films and we also get stuff from top filmmakers like, for instance, John Malkovich. So I think because we’re a festival that has a reputation for a certain amount of integrity and also being a little bit out on a limb we attract the big names as well as people who are just starting out. The first year of the festival we had Guy Ritchie’s first film which was called the “Hard Case”, which was fantastic, it’s exactly the same as Lock Stock and Snatch but he was kind of formulating his ideas and it was a short film.
Callum: As far as I know, the Portobello Film Festival runs until the 21st of August as well as films there are other arts events, a variety of fantastic concerts, exhibitions and presentations. You want the festival to be more than just for film, don’t you?
Jonathan Barnett: Yes, what we want it to be is, we want it to be a bit like a kind of cross between Glastonbury festival and Edinburgh festival, but for free and set in Portobello Road.
Callum: We also hope it would become a big arts festival — amazing, unforgettable and a good start for young talents!

Oxegen 2011
Friday 8th to
Sunday 10th July 2011
Punchestown Racecourse, Naas, Co Kildare, Eire,
Ireland
�224.50 for 3 day including camping
last updated: Thu 30th Jun 2011
On Friday July 8th at approximately 5pm the ‘are they/aren’t they together’ hip hop powerhouse House of Pain took the stage and performed a set which should put to rest the constant breakups and reunions that have come to define this group. An early evening but very visible mosh pit provided a fitting foreground for what turned out to be an extremely powerful set.
Everlast certainly seemed to feel comfortable on the Punchestown stage and one cannot help but feel that this has something to do with him performing in Ireland. A fierce Irish-American, Everlast has always been proud of his Irish roots and this desire to impress the Irish crowd was notable through the band’s performance of «Top of the Morning to Ya». But, alas, no matter how hard HOP may have tried, they could not recreate the electricity of ‘Jump Around’ with any other song. So, inevitably, as their 1992 tour de force bellowed out from the Vodafone stage, those wandering between stages all of a sudden found themselves running towards this one. They were not disappointed. House of Pain created a mighty buzz among its attendees and ultimately provided a high which is exactly what a Friday evening crowd needs.
For this reason, the 5pm time slot fitted perfectly; House of Pain could no longer draw the crowds as a headliner but they set the crowd up beautifully. Whether or not you are a fan of this nearing middle age hip hop group, to feel the electricity surge through the crowd at a gig will instil in you the belief that it is not yet time for HOP to «pack it up, pack it in.»
Vodafone also played host to an artist that was highly anticipated not just by myself but seemingly every person who I managed to speak to on Friday evening. Tinie Tempah epitomises that performer who thrives and grows with every ounce of crowd participation. Knowing that every person is the crowd could and would sing along to his incredibly successful number one singles, Tinie Tempah went out on a very long limb by opening his set with the lesser known tune ‘Frisky’. Allowing the anticipation to rise was clearly a smart move; a fact evidenced the approximately 10,000 Tinie Tempah back-up singers to ‘Written in the Stars’. One could be forgiven for thinking that such a strong anthem-like tune would be the culmination of an artist’s set. Not a chance. Among the collection of powerful songs contained within the Double Platinum number one selling album Disc-Overy lies the truly incredible ‘Pass Out’ and it was with this song that Tinie Tempah decided to bring his set to a delirious conclusion.
The headlining slot on the main stage on Friday night was filled quite rightly by the Black Eyed Peas who unsurprisingly left the crowd buzzing after their energetic set. The gorgeous Fergie stole the show with not just with her audacious outfits but her strong, beautiful lyrics. From the outset this band had Oxegen literally jumping up and down with excitement. When viewing the Black Eyed Peas it is difficult not to get wrapped up in the high tempo beats and this set was certainly no exception. This is shown by one person I spoke with who said his girlfriend talked him into going to see them. He agreed but only for half the set. He eventually stayed for the whole set and described the experience as definitely one of the weekend’s best.
For people who know what Black Eyed Peas are all about and know how much effort they put into their shows this set will have come as no surprise; for those who had to be dragged, I am confident that «surprised» is an understatement. The only negative note I came across with regards to the performance was Will.I.AM’s solo DJ routine. I feel this this is unfair. Although his DJ set was not as strong as last year’s and admittedly people did look a little disgruntled due to its length I felt it worked well with the Black Eyed Peas show as a whole. Nevertheless, it would take something really atrocious to spoil the show and when Black Eyed Peas closed with ‘I’ve Got a Feeling’ it appeared that those previously disgruntled fans did not have a care in the world.

| Dates | August 2013[1][2] |
| Location(s) | Punchestown Racecourse, County Kildare, Ireland |
| Years active | 2004–2011; 2013 |
| Website | Oxegen.ie (archived) |
Oxegen was a music festival in Ireland, first held from 2004–2011 as a rock and pop festival and again in 2013 with dance and chart acts only. The event was regularly cited as Ireland’s biggest music festival,[3][4][5][6] and, by 2009, it was being cited as the greenest festival, being a 100% carbon neutral event in Ireland,[7] although this claim is highly disputed[by whom?] as green-washing[citation needed]. It was previously called Witnness,[8] which ran from 2000 and was sponsored by Guinness. The event is promoted by MCD and is sponsored by Heineken. Oxegen was originally a three-day festival, but from 2008 onwards, it was expanded to four days.
It took place at the Punchestown Racecourse in County Kildare, Ireland and has an average attendance of around 60,000 a day, with around 50,000 of these camping on site for the duration, and the rest travelling to the site each day. It takes place on the same weekend as T in the Park in Scotland and shares a very similar lineup each year, but Oxegen is generally regarded as Ireland’s version of the Glastonbury Festival, with the 2008 festival sharing three of the same headliners as its English counterpart.[9]
Oxegen has attracted significant attention from outside Ireland, with many of those attending travelling from overseas experiencing a «mass exodus» to the festival.[10][11] Members of bands such as The Killers, Snow Patrol and R.E.M. have spoken positively of their experiences at the festival. Celebrities frequently attend, including models Helena Christensen (a regular attendant)[12][13] and television personality Chris Pontius,[14] actor Josh Hartnett,[12] and Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones, who was pursued by «half the journalists in the country» and many of his own relatives for much of the 2008 festival.[13][15] The event has also attracted some negative publicity, particularly following the 2006 festival. This is attributed to such factors as the age of admission (17) and easy access to alcohol.[16]
Oxegen, for two consecutive years, was named as the Best European Festival in a poll which included festivals from France, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom and other countries, leading The Sunday Business Post‘s Nicola Cooke to describe it as «one of the most successful music festivals in Ireland has [sic]».[17] Leagues O’Toole has described it as an «enormously successful, award-winning, established brand […] aimed at a young audience out for a good time, a post-Leaving Cert rite of passage perfect for acts with big singalong tunes that sound great in the mud».[18] Oxegen received a mention in the Colum McCann short story «Aisling».[19]
In April 2014, organisers announced that the Oxegen festival would not be going ahead that year, citing a lack of suitable headline acts.[20]
History[edit]
Oxegen first took place in 2004 over the second weekend in July. The Killers, who went on to headline the festival twice in 2007 and 2009, were one of the bands to appear at the first Oxegen. Dave Keuning, in an interview with Hot Press prior to the 2009 festival, described Oxegen as «a big deal because it’s one of the first European festivals we played [sic] when we came over from Vegas in 2004. We only had one hit—»Mr. Brightside»—and were worried in case no one showed. But the tent was packed with people screaming out the words to songs we didn’t think they knew. It was that night we thought, ‘Hey, something’s happening here!’ Oxegen more so than Glastonbury even was the highlight of our summer.»[21]
The original festival, Witnness, sponsored by Guinness, took place during the start of August with notable headliners, including Oasis, The Foo Fighters and Green Day. In its second and third year, running changed its dates to the second weekend of July. In 2008 Oxegen became a three-day festival.[22]
Rodrigo y Gabriela made their breakthrough after being asked by Damien Rice to perform with him at Oxegen 2004.[23]
The Japanese Popstars formed after viewing several dance acts at Oxegen 2006.[24]
R.E.M. members Michael Stipe and Peter Buck watched several shows from side stage at Oxegen 2007 before returning to headline the festival the following year.[25] Stipe credits his 2007 visit with inspiring him to want to go on tour again, saying: «I saw all these great bands and the next day after the festival we went into the studio.»[26]
Muse, known for their spectacular light show and their reputation as one of the best live bands in the world, headlined Oxegen 2007.[27] They returned to headline the mainstage on the Saturday night of the 2010 festival.
Battles played the biggest festival show of their career at that time in the Pet Sounds Arena during Oxegen 2008.[28] The Prodigy played four new songs at Oxegen 2008. Also in 2008, Interpol were sent champagne by U2 as they arrived for rehearsals.[29]
Chad Wolf of Carolina Liar described the band’s performance at Oxegen 2009 as «an out-of-body experience».[30]
Each Oxegen has been defined by the attention focused on its own weather, with The Belfast Telegraph referring to 2005 as «the sunny one», 2006 as «the torrentially rainy one», 2007 as «the muddy one» and 2008 as «the so-so one».[31]

Facilities[edit]
As well as the current eight stages of music, there are three large areas for camping which are subdivided by number and the colours blue, red and green – which is the VIP campsite. The backstage and media areas are located in the middle of the site in the buildings normally used to watch the races. Stalls and shops are also provided for festival-goers, as well as toilet and shower areas for campers from 2006 onwards.
A Centra store was located in each campsite from 2007 onwards[32] and An Post first appeared at the festival in 2008.[33]
The toilet facilities, which had previously been criticised by some as not being adequate for the large number of people at the festival, were improved in recent[when?] years.[citation needed] There is also a funfair adjacent to the arena, featuring a big wheel and other rides, such as the «Magic Carpet», the «Big Drop», and the roller coaster. In 2008, an additional funfair was located in the blue campsite alongside other campsite entertainment such as a circus, silent disco and the Xbox Live Stage.[34] Glass in any form is banned from the festival site and bottle corks, cans and umbrellas are banned from the concert arena.[35]
52 miles of fencing are used across the site.[36] 14 megawatts of power are used to energise Oxegen, with 28,000 miles of cable used to transfer this power.[36] 25,000 litre water tankers are located around the site.[36] Hats and cloaks are regularly seen,[37] whilst wellies are also commonly worn by festival-goers.[38]
The Dance Arena is a large shed previously used for ideal homes exhibitions.[39]

Oxegen 2004 took place at Punchestown Racecourse from 10 to 11 July. The Strokes,[40] The Cure,[41][42]

Orbital played their last ever Irish show at the festival,[47] whilst The Black Eyed Peas performed in Ireland for the first time in over two years.[48] The Killers, Republic of Loose and Razorlight were among the bands headlining the New Band Stage. Other Irish acts to appear included Ash, The Divine Comedy, Hothouse Flowers, The Saw Doctors, HAL, Snow Patrol, The Devlins, Simple Kid, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Cathy Davey and Bell X1. David Bowie was due to headline the festival but had to pull out due to illness.[49] Kings of Leon’s performance was threatened by an incident at Roskilde the weekend before Oxegen when Nathan Followill injured his wrist but, despite the cancellation of a midweek show in Serbia,[50] the band turned up for Oxegen.[51]
Tickets sold out a week before the event, having gone on sale on Friday 5 March. One-day tickets cost €59.50, two-day tickets were priced at €110.00 whilst a two-day ticket with camping included cost €130.00.[52]

2006 Festival[edit]
The Main Stage on the Saturday of Oxegen 2006
Oxegen 2006 took place at Punchestown Racecourse from 8 to 9 July. A limited number of tickets for the festival went on sale a week after the 2005 festival on Friday 15 July. On 20 February the festival was launched and the first acts were officially announced.[67] Tickets went on general sale on Friday 3 March at 8 am, with weekend camping tickets priced at €160. This allocation of tickets sold out within 48 minutes. The festival itself encountered bad weather which eclipsed previous records. There were improvements on the Sunday afternoon with sunny skies and a cool, gentle breeze ensuring a decrease in wet festival-goers.
The Who and Red Hot Chili Peppers headlined the festival, the former performing live in Ireland for the first time in 35 years, the latter for the fourth time in five summers. James Brown made his last ever live performance at an Irish festival and Arctic Monkeys their first festival appearance in Ireland. Also appearing were The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Placebo, Richard Ashcroft, Primal Scream, Editors, Feeder, The Kooks, Kasabian, Sigur Rós, The Feeling, The Futureheads, The Go! Team, The Automatic, Paolo Nutini and Lily Allen. Irish acts to appear included Bell X1, Damien Dempsey, Republic of Loose, Director, The Marshals, Sharon Shannon, The Blizzards, The Divine Comedy, Gemma Hayes and Humanzi.
Security arrangements were criticised as being poor by some sections of the media. The camp-site was not free from trouble, with reports of tent-burning and an alleged stabbing on the Sunday night/Monday morning of the festival.[68]
In the Green Room a considerable leak allowed rain into the enclosed marquee. There were 225 arrests for drugs (with 13 charged for possession with intent to supply), one alleged rape,[69] and the Evening Herald reported that around 250 people were treated for alcohol and drug abuse. When 40 people were sent to Naas General Hospital, fears were raised of a bad batch of ecstasy, but no evidence of such a batch was found. A number of media outlets were threatened with legal action on their coverage of Oxegen 2006 in its aftermath. These included the Irish Independent and boards.ie, where all discussion of MCD events and venues was banned.

– ** artist cancelled attendance after official announcement
2012 hiatus[edit]
On 21 December 2011, MCD posted a short notice on the Oxegen website confirming rumours that Oxegen 2012 had been cancelled. The statement read as follows: «OXEGEN, like Glastonbury, is taking a year off in 2012 and will be back July 2013. Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas & peaceful New Year. Keep Rockin’ in 2012 and we will see you in 2013! Your Oxegen Team».[1][2][106][107][108]
The cancellation was expected to damage the local economy in Kildare.[109] Media described the Dublin leg of The Stone Roses Reunion Tour, held in Phoenix Park on 5 July 2012, as a replacement for the year’s lack of Oxegen.[110][111] A Swedish House Mafia concert at the same venue two days later also drew comparisons with the festival, with «Oxegen-like behaviour» culminating in a number of random unprovoked attacks and concerns that «The off-stage events which have dominated the news agenda since the Swedish House Mafia show […] will forevermore be associated with stabbings and suspected drug deaths rather than the music.»[112]
2013 festival[edit]
MCD chief Denis Desmond revealed, on the official Oxegen website in April 2013, the news that Oxegen will return to the Irish festival line-up this summer, after a one-year hiatus.
The festival took place in its usual home of Punchestown Racecourse in Kildare, and took place from 2–4 August 2013.[113]
On 22 April an announcement was made to confirm the first set of acts playing. Confirmed were Calvin Harris, Rizzle Kicks, Jack Beats, Duke Dumont, Example, Pitbull, Nero. On 24 April David Guetta was announced as one of the headline acts. The line-up was heavily criticized for having no guitar bands. The actual announcement posts were deleted on the same day as negative feedback was so heavy that festival promoters urged MCD to remove it to avoid embarrassment.[citation needed] It is thought that ticket sales were poor, and this may have been the last time MCD attend the festival. Revellers noted that there were 38 bands above this years headliners in 2010.[114]

The two big events that bookend the Irish summer are Oxegen and Electric Picnic, both now enormously successful, award-winning, established brands. […] On one hand you have MCD’s Oxegen, which starts on Friday, July 9th, a three-day music extravaganza at Punchestown Racecourse in Kildare aimed at a young audience out for a good time, a post-Leaving Cert rite of passage perfect for acts with big singalong tunes that sound great in the mud.

Now it’s Colum McCann’s turn. His new short story entitled Aisling, in the summer issue of the Paris Review , is quite a departure from the realist prose of his National Book Award-winning novel Let the Great World Spin. […] And although it’s very short, at under two and a half pages, he manages to include a wide range of Irish references, from Loreto Foxrock to Oxegen and the Trocadero.

Oxegen был музыкальный фестиваль в Ирландии , первый проходил с 2004-2011 , как рок и поп — фестиваль и вновь в 2013 году с танцем и графике действует только. Мероприятие регулярно упоминалось как крупнейший музыкальный фестиваль Ирландии, а к 2009 году он стал самым зеленым фестивалем, поскольку мероприятие в Ирландии проводилось с нулевым выбросом углерода . хотя это утверждение сильно оспаривается как «зеленая стирка». Ранее он назывался Witnness , выпускался с 2000 года и спонсировался Guinness . Мероприятие проводится MCD и спонсируется Heineken . Oxegen изначально был трехдневным фестивалем, но с 2008 года он был увеличен до четырех дней.
Он проходил на ипподроме Punchestown в графстве Килдэр , Ирландия, и его средняя посещаемость составляла около 60 000 человек в день, из которых около 50 000 находятся в лагерях на время проведения, а остальные приезжают на место каждый день. Он проходит в те же выходные, что и T в парке в Шотландии, и каждый год имеет очень похожий состав, но Oxegen обычно считается ирландской версией фестиваля Гластонбери , поскольку фестиваль 2008 года разделяет трех тех же хедлайнеров, что и его английский аналог. .
Oxegen привлек значительное внимание из-за пределов Ирландии, и многие из тех, кто приехал из-за границы, испытали «массовый исход» на фестиваль. Участники таких групп, как The Killers , Snow Patrol и REM положительно отзываются о своем опыте на фестивале. Часто приходят знаменитости, в том числе модели Хелена Кристенсен (постоянный посетитель) и телеведущий Крис Понтиус , актер Джош Хартнетт и Ронни Вуд из The Rolling Stones , которого преследовали «половина журналистов в стране» и многие из его собственных родственников. большая часть фестиваля 2008 года. Мероприятие также вызвало негативную огласку, особенно после фестиваля 2006 года . Это связано с такими факторами, как возраст поступления (17 лет) и доступность алкоголя.
Oxegen, в течение двух лет подряд, был назван как Европейский фестиваль Лучшее в опросе , который включал фестивали из Франции, Нидерландов, Испании, Великобритании и других стран, ведущих Воскресная Business Post ‘ s Nicola Cooke , чтобы описать его как «один из самый успешный музыкальный фестиваль в Ирландии имеет [ sic ] «. Лиги О’Тул описал его как «чрезвычайно успешный, отмеченный наградами, устоявшийся бренд, […] нацеленный на молодую аудиторию, желающую хорошо провести время, обряд посвящения после выхода из сертификата, идеально подходящий для выступлений с большими песнями. это здорово звучит в грязи «. Оксеген был упомянут в рассказе Колума Макканна «Айслинг».
В апреле 2014 года организаторы объявили, что фестиваль Oxegen не будет проводиться в этом году, сославшись на отсутствие подходящих заголовков.
История
Первое мероприятие Oxegen прошло в 2004 году во вторые выходные июля. The Killers , дважды возглавлявшие фестиваль в 2007 и 2009 годах, были одной из групп, появившихся на первом Oxegen. Дэйв Кеунинг в интервью Hot Press перед фестивалем 2009 года охарактеризовал Oxegen как «большое событие, потому что это один из первых европейских фестивалей, на которых мы сыграли [ sic ], когда мы приехали из Вегаса в 2004 году. У нас был только один хит — « Мистер Брайтсайд » — и волновались, что никто не появится. Но палатка была забита людьми, выкрикивающими слова песен, которые, как мы думали, они не знали. В ту ночь мы подумали: «Эй, здесь что-то происходит! ‘ Оксеген даже больше, чем Гластонбери, был самым ярким событием нашего лета ».
Оригинальный фестиваль Witnness , спонсируемый Guinness , проходил в начале августа с участием известных хедлайнеров, в том числе Oasis , The Foo Fighters и Green Day . На втором и третьем году работы бег поменял свои даты на вторые выходные июля. В 2008 году Oxegen стал трехдневным фестивалем.
Родриго и Габриэла совершили прорыв после того, как Дэмиен Райс попросил его выступить с ним на Oxegen 2004 .
Японские поп-звезды сформировались после просмотра нескольких танцевальных номеров на Oxegen 2006 .
Участники REM Майкл Стипе и Питер Бак смотрели несколько концертов со сцены на Oxegen 2007, прежде чем вернуться, чтобы возглавить фестиваль в следующем году. Стипе считает, что визит в 2007 году вдохновил его на желание снова отправиться в тур: «Я видел все эти великие группы, и на следующий день после фестиваля мы вошли в студию».
Muse , известные своим зрелищным световым шоу и репутацией одной из лучших концертных групп в мире, выступили хедлайнерами Oxegen 2007. Они вернулись на главную сцену в субботу вечером фестиваля 2010 года.
Battles отыграли крупнейшее фестивальное шоу в своей карьере в то время в Pet Sounds Arena во время Oxegen 2008. The Prodigy сыграли четыре новые песни на Oxegen 2008. Также в 2008 году Интерпол получил шампанское от U2, когда они прибыли на репетиции.
Чад Вольф из Carolina Liar охарактеризовал выступление группы на Oxegen 2009 как «внетелесный опыт».
Каждый Oxegen характеризовался вниманием, сосредоточенным на своей погоде: The Belfast Telegraph называет 2005 год «солнечным», 2006 г. — «проливно дождливым», 2007 г. — «грязным» и 2008 г. -так что».

Удобства
Помимо нынешних восьми музыкальных сцен, есть три большие зоны для кемпинга, которые подразделяются по номерам и синему, красному и зеленому цветам — это VIP-кемпинг. Кулисы и медиа-зоны расположены в центре площадки в зданиях, которые обычно используются для просмотра гонок. Для посетителей фестивалей также предусмотрены киоски и магазины, а с 2006 года — туалеты и душевые для отдыхающих.
С 2007 года в каждом кемпинге был расположен магазин Centra, и An Post впервые появился на фестивале в 2008 году. Туалеты, которые ранее критиковались некоторыми как не подходящие для большого количества людей на фестивале, были улучшены в последние годы. Рядом с ареной есть ярмарка с большим колесом и другими аттракционами, такими как «Волшебный ковер», «Большая капля» и американские горки . В 2008 году еще одна ярмарка была расположена в синем кемпинге рядом с другими развлечениями кемпинга, такими как цирк , тихая дискотека и Xbox Live Stage. Стекло в любой форме запрещено на площадке фестиваля, а пробки от бутылок, банки и зонтики запрещены на концертной арене.
На участке используется 52 мили ограждения. 14 мегаватт энергии используются для подачи энергии на Oxegen, а для передачи этой энергии используется кабель длиной 28 000 миль. Вокруг участка расположены цистерны с водой емкостью 25 000 литров. Часто можно увидеть шляпы и плащи, а посетители фестивалей также носят резиновые сапоги.
Танцевальная арена — это большой навес, который раньше использовался для идеальных домашних выставок.

Сам фестиваль столкнулся с плохой погодой, которая побила предыдущие рекорды. В воскресенье днем произошли улучшения, с солнечным небом и прохладным легким бризом, что уменьшило количество мокрых посетителей фестиваля.

Некоторые разделы средств массовой информации критиковали меры безопасности как неудовлетворительные. На территории лагеря не обошлось без проблем: сообщалось о сожжении палаток и предполагаемых ножевых ранениях в воскресенье вечером / в понедельник утром фестиваля. В Зеленой комнате из-за значительной протечки дождь попал в закрытый навес. Было арестовано 225 за наркотики (13 из которых были обвинены в хранении с целью сбыта), одно предполагаемое изнасилование, и Evening Herald сообщила, что около 250 человек прошли курс лечения от алкогольной и наркотической зависимости. Когда 40 человек были отправлены в больницу общего профиля Наас , возникли опасения по поводу плохой партии экстази , но никаких доказательств наличия такой партии найдено не было. Некоторым средствам массовой информации угрожали судебным иском в связи с освещением Oxegen 2006 после этого. К ним относятся Irish Independent и Board.ie , где запрещено любое обсуждение мероприятий и мест проведения MCD.

Перерыв в 2012 году
21 декабря 2011 года MCD разместило короткое сообщение на веб-сайте Oxegen, подтверждающее слухи об отмене Oxegen 2012. Заявление гласило: «OXEGEN, как и Гластонбери, уходит на год в 2012 году и вернется в июле 2013 года. Желаю всем счастливого Рождества и мирного Нового года. Продолжайте зажигать в 2012 году, и мы увидимся в 2013 году! Ваша команда Oxegen «.
Ожидалось, что отмена нанесет ущерб местной экономике в Килдэр. СМИ описали дублинский этап тура The Stone Roses Reunion Tour , состоявшийся в парке Феникс 5 июля 2012 года, как замену годичной нехватки Oxegen. Swedish House Mafia концерт в том же месте через два дня также обратил сравнение с фестивалем, с «Oxegen типа поведения» кульминация ряда случайных спровоцированных нападений и опасения , что «вне сцены событий , которые доминировали в программе новостей с тех пор Шоу Swedish House Mafia […] навсегда будет ассоциироваться с ножевыми ранениями и предполагаемыми смертельными случаями от наркотиков, а не с музыкой ».
Фестиваль 2013
Глава MCD Денис Десмонд сообщил на официальном сайте Oxegen в апреле 2013 года новость о том, что Oxegen вернется в состав ирландского фестиваля этим летом после годичного перерыва.
Фестиваль проходил в обычном доме Punchestown Racecourse в Килдэре и проходил со 2 по 4 августа 2013 года. 22 апреля было сделано объявление, подтверждающее первый набор исполнителей. Подтверждены были Кэлвин Харрис , Rizzle Kicks , Jack Beats , Duke Dumont , Example , Pitbull , Nero . 24 апреля Дэвид Гетта был объявлен одним из главных героев. Состав сильно критиковали за отсутствие гитарных групп. Фактические сообщения с объявлениями были удалены в тот же день, поскольку негативные отзывы были настолько сильными, что промоутеры фестиваля призвали MCD удалить их, чтобы избежать затруднений. Считается, что продажа билетов была плохой, и, возможно, это был последний раз, когда MCD присутствовал на фестивале.
