Hot Press Signing Tent for Oxegen

With the bill for the biggest open-air rock event of the summer close to being finalised, Hot Press has joined forces with Oxegen promoters MCD to bring fans the Hot Press Signing Tent.

In the Hot Press tent at Witnness last year, fans were treated to close-up encounters with many of the acts that lit up the occasion – and this year will provide ample opportunity to repeat and enhance that experience. Information on happenings in the tent, where many of the biggest names will come to meet and greet, will be relayed via the big screens at the side of the Main Stage, as each day progresses.

Meanwhile, the running order for both days has been decided, with The Strokes bringing the Main Stage action to a close on Saturday night and David Bowie doing the honours on the Sunday. While a number of other acts are likely to be added to the bill, the complete line-up for both days, in order of appearance, at the time of going to press is as follows:
