27 people who have mixed feelings about the return of Oxegen

We don’t think you’re ready for this wellie…

SO AFTER TAKING a year off to let the poor ground at Punchestown (and the local residents, and the Gardaí, and pretty much everyone)  recover, Oxegen is back.

The music festival is returning to its Co. Kildare home except this time for two days in August (likely on the same weekend as Castlepalooza and Indiependence).

We asked in our poll at the weekend if readers were pleased about the return of Oxegen, and 48 per cent said they didn’t care, 19 per cent were displeased, 19 per cent were only happy if Elton John was going to be there, and 12 per cent were just happy in general.

What about these past attendees? Are they likely to be happy or unhappy that the festival is back?…
