As Oxegen approaches, we've put together everything you need to know ahead of the Punchestown fest! From interviews with performers Plan B, Two Door Cinema Club and Shit Robot, to a who-to-see guide, to what's the smartest mode of transport to use, we've got you covered. We also meet Editors and Roisin O (who are set to perform at Cork's Indiependence festival), and talk to Friendly Fires, Japanese Popstars and The Airborne Toxic Event. Over in Critical Mass, we've reviewed albums by Bon Iver, Beyoncé and The Kaiser Chiefs, while broadcaster Tony Fenton is this fornight's Hot Press interviewee!
