Take a Deep Breath at the Oxegen Festival
Your favourite watch of all the Nixon watches in your collection needs checking because the time has come for summer madness to set in. And where better to celebrate summer than at the Oxegen Festival - Dublin’s best summer concert?
Pack up your camping gear, because this three-day event is held in one of Ireland’s greatest party places and you don’t want to miss a single minute of the excitement. And there is plenty of excitement to be had as the festival’s confirmed guests are: Jay Z, Muze, the Black Eyed Peas, Eminem, Kazabian, Florence and the Machine, Stereophonics, Paolo Nutini and Faithless. More hot acts are waiting to be confirmed, so you won’t be disappointed with the concerts at the Festival.
Once again, time is of the essence as the Festival starts on July 10th and tickets are rapidly selling out. Make sure to consult one of your Nixon watches so that you’re not late at the ticket office. The organizers of the Festival have warned that the tickets are selling out so quickly that there is a slim chance of buying a ticket to the Festival once in Dublin. The tickets are selling at the 2008 price of €224.50 and include the camping fees.
If you do miss out on a ticket, go to Dublin anyway and soak up the vibe at one of Dublin’s many party-pubs. Travelling to Ireland is relatively easy as citizens of the UK don’t need a visa. Once there you can make your way to the tent cities at Punchestown Racecourse, Naas or County Kildare or go and stay in one of Dublin’s youth hostels such as The Four Courts hostel, Oliver St. John Gogarty or Barnacles Temple Bar House.
No matter where you overnight, make sure that your possessions are secure. Events like these can attract those with ill intent and the last thing you need on a great trip like this is to lose that best of all Nixon watches of yours to a pickpocket or a thief. Also make sure that your money (cash) is kept close to your body and that your credit cards are in no way easily accessible to anyone but you.
Before you know it, your Nixon watch is announcing that it’s time to go home and face the real world again. Hopefully you will have made some new friends in the camp city or at the pub and you will be able to share your vivid memories of your weekend in Dublin until you go back next year.
