2. Oxegen on 11 Jul 2008
Location: An Nás, Ireland
Oxegen is an annual music festival, held since 2004, sponsored by Heineken International. It was previously called Witnness, which ran from the year 2000 and was sponsored by Guinness. Oxegen was originally a two-day festival but for 2008 will be expanded to three days. It takes place at the Punchestown Racecourse in County Kildare, Republic of Ireland and has an average attendance of around 80,000 a day, with around half of these camping on site for the duration, and the rest travelling to the site each day. The festival is promoted by MCD.
While Oxegen has not yet reached the iconic status of Glastonbury, it still manages to attract a large quantity of high profile acts each year. Generally, the festival's line-up is identical to that of T in the Park, which runs on the same weekend, but in Scotland. Many acts play Oxegen on the day that they're not playing TitP. As well as six stages of music, there are two large areas for camping which are subdivided by number. Stalls and shops are also provided, as well as toilet and shower areas (from 2006). The toilet facilities have been criticised by some as not being adequate for the large number of people at the festival. 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.
3. Montreux Jazz Festival on 16 Jul 2008
Location: Montreux, Switzerland
4. Lenny Kravitz - Moon And Stars 2008 on 17 Jul 2008
Location: 6601 Locarno, Switzerland
Lenny Kravitz meldet sich endlich wieder zurück! Sowohl der Titel wie auch die dazugehörige Musik seines neuen Albums überzeugen vollends. Auf «It Is Time For A Love Revolution» hat Lenny zu den musikalischen und spirituellen Wurzeln zurückgefunden, die vor allem auf seinem Debütalbum «Let Love Rule» vor 18 Jahren richtungsweisend waren. Das neue Album ist somit ein Neuanfang für neue Taten aus der unerschöpflichen Ideenschmiede des Superstars. Ganz speziell ist auch der Ort des Geschehens: die atemberaubende Kulisse der Piazza Grande in Locarno. Mit den Singles «I’ll Be Waiting» und «Love Love Love» sowie anderen grossartigen Hits aus seiner Vergangenheit kommt Lenny Kravitz am Donnerstag, 17. Juli 2008 (20.30 Uhr) ins Tessin.
Das chilligste Festival auf dem wahrscheinlich schönsten Festivalgelände Österreichs geht natürlich auch im Jahr 2008 an den Start. In den vergangenen Jahren genossen unzählige Sonnenanbeter Acts wie u.a. MANU CHAO & RADIO BEMBA SOUND SYSTEM, BEASTIE BOYS, DIE FANTASTISCHEN VIER, THE STROKES, JOVANOTTI, GENTLEMAN, KOSHEEN, THE STREETS, THE ROOTS oder STEREO MC'S bei traumhaftem Wetter auf einem mehr als einzigartigen Festivalgelände.
Auch für die Neuauflage haben sich wirkliche Kracher angesagt um am 18. und 19. Juli am Open Air Gelände beim VAZ St. Pölten für beste Stimmung zu sorgen!
