A sell-out crowd of 80,000 music fans enjoyed the festive atmosphere at the third OXEGEN music festival, which took place at Punchestown Racecourse, Naas, Co. Kildare in Ireland.

In spite of persistent rain and high winds on Saturday, the excellent line-up kept a steady crowd in front of the NME Stage, where a NEXO GEO T system was in full view.

Paul Weller, Richard Ashcroft, Goldfrapp and Feeder were among the performers on this stage, preceded by a host of indie darlings, including Dirty Pretty Things, The Zutons, The Kooks and The Feeling.
