Top dance music names lined up for Oxegen

Some of the top international names in dance music will lead the line-up at this year’s Oxegen Festival, it emerged today.

World renowned DJ and promoter Erick Morillo will top the bill on the first day of the festival.

And American act Deep Dish will round off events on Sunday July 10 with their unique underground style.

The Grammy award winners have spent the last year dazzling fans around the world at more than 100 gigs.

And with three months until Ireland’s biggest music festival kicks off ticket sales are already way ahead of last year.

Other performers ready to reek havoc in the dance arena include Death In Vegas, Slam, Jacques Le and Cont and LCD Sound System.

Scottish DJ Mylo will also bring his own brand of house music to the festival following on from the release of his highly successful debut album ’Destroy Rock and Rock’.

The full line-up for the two-day spectacle has yet to be completed but top acts such as the Foo Fighters, the Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, Snoop Dog and the Streets have added their names to the ever-growing list.

More than 80 acts are expected to line up across five stages on the July weekend.

Tickets are priced at €64.50 for one day, €120 for two days, and €145 for two days plus camping on July 9 and 10 are on sale now from Ticket Master outlets nationwide.
