Concert calendar set to heat up summer season

WITH Oxegen tickets going on sale yesterday, a look down the concert listings for the coming months shows we are set for a scorching hot summer of rock and roll.

The now annual bash at Punchestown Racecourse from July 8-11 is always the summer’s main music event and this year’s line-up is as stellar as ever.

Arcade Fire and Fatboy Slim are the most recent acts to have joined the listings for the Kildare festival and will join other chart-toppers such as Eminem, Muse, Jay-Z, Kasabian, Florence and the Machine and the Black Eyed Peas.
