Ireland's Oxegen festival cancelled

Ireland's Oxegen festival cancelled

Bad news from Ireland: this year Oxegen Festival will not take place. The announcement was made by MCD (the organisers) via a short post on the event's official website.

The message reads: "It is with regret that MCD announce that Oxegen will not take place this year due to lack of suitable headline acts which combined with the financial demands by local agencies make it no longer viable to stage the Festival in its current form".

Oxegen has been held at Punchestown Racecourse every year since 2004; in 2012 it was suspended for a year, to return in 2013 with a musical focus towards dance and charts. Headliners of the three day events, in the past, include The Strokes, The Killers, The Cure and Foo Fighters while the 2013 Oxegen brought performances from Calvin Harris and Snoop Dogg.
