No not an MGMT tune. Oxegen is go! The rain is kind of holding off, it’s drizzly, but nothing to dampen spirits.

This year, it’s all about floating pieces of rubber. The Main Stage is awash with blown-up condoms. Don't ask.

So far Sugababes have drawn the biggest crowd but today is only now getting into full swing. Interpol, Kings Of Leon and The Rascals to come, while local favs Bell X1 should draw a big crowd. The big name on-site is Helena Christensen, here with boyfriend Paul Banks. On-site pics too follow.
