Only a few days to go now until Oxegen 2009 whether you’re going or hoping to find a last minute ticket (keep an eye on Toutless for legit tickets at fair prices), we’ve got our festival guide right here!

As always, make sure to keep an eye out for last minute cancellations and schedule changes. Every year there’s always some band who misses a ferry or takes a wrong turn at Naas, so check the Oxegen website, forums and HeinekenMusic.ie for the latest info before you head off.

The official festival guide is now online with the site map (it’s an 18mb PDF, so non-broadband internet users should go here instead) and lots of other useful info.

* Competition is now closed and winners have being notified. Thanks to all our entrants! *

Summer’s well and truly here and that, of course means music festivals. While a plethora of events will be vying for you attention this year, few can claim to have as much bang for your buck as the Indiependence Festival taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

From its humble origins as a free open air town event to an award winning showcase for the very best in emerging Irish talent, 2009 sees Indiependence take to a new green field site on the outskirts of Mitchelstown, Co. Cork, complete with three stages, the Bavaria Stage, the Cyprus Avenue Arena  and The Red Bull Village all packed to the brim with must-see acts including Super Furry Animals, Ocean Colour Scene, Fight Like Apes, Delorentos, The Blizzards, RSAG, Fred, The Frank & Walters, Villagers and many many more.

Mitchelstown will be the epicenter of a party on the August weekend, with all bars in the town granted a bar extension to keep the festivities rolling into the small hours.

The ethos of the festival has always been to promote good music and provide value for money for the punter. With this in mind two-day weekend tickets for Indiependence cost just €59, while day passes cost €39.

With thanks to Shane and the gang at Indiependence, Guesslist has 10 pairs of weekend tickets to give away between now and July 24. Starting today we will have weekly giveaways every Friday on the blog to win one of two pairs of tickets. Meanwhile, over on our twitter account (@guesslist) we will invite Twitter followers to stake their claim to one of two pairs sometime over the next four weeks. Continue Reading
