Fans will be disappointed, however, that the only thing they can take away from the gig is their memories as cameras have been banned.

No cameras will be allowed into the venue so fans are advised not to bring them.



How will they police that when everyone has a Camera on their phone these days?

I don't think the hip kids are in to Dizzee anymore.

First album was mint, spitting his flow out all over the place, but nowadays he's just a bit cheesey, singing on of novelty house tracks.

House tracks are good

Absolutely spot on - that 'Bonkers' track is just lowest common denominator rubbish... must try harder.

I'll admit Morrisey is a big draw but i'm not a fan.

I love big band. Nah seriously it's just annoying that no one i'm really into seems to play there.

Doves, White Lies, Bloc Party, Young Knifes, Biffy Clyro, Muse (OK i'm dreaming with that one but you never know). That's just a few off the top of my head. I guess the Oasis needs to cater for all tastes which is fantastic but would be nice to see a few smaller yet popular bands there as well as your Lilly Allens, Morriseys and Dizzie Rascals.

Fair enough Onion...ime not a great fan of em but for Swindon to get them is a good result...saw Bloc Party at Bristol..top notch,like you White Lies are top of my list now,hope to see them soon.

Yes, dizzee rascal, didn't you hear? This is great news, bonkers deserves to be number one for months, right up there with Jezebel, fix up look sharp and Do it as his all time best. Definitely want to go to this.

Can someone please tell me what the great love for this 'Bonkers' track is? I'm sure I've heard the bassline before and that's the only good bit about it. The tune doesn't fit to the words.

The words fit perfectly and just everything about it is good, everyone loved it when Annie Mac played it at blowpop. Good number one's don't come along very often and it's good to have this one not long after Calvin Harris and Dizzee is the most down to earth rapper in hip-hop - he deserves the success.

Its mixed by Armand van Helden is it not?


Title: Re: Dizzy at the Oasis
Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Wednesday, May 20, 2009, 09:19:15
Yeah he did the original tune and I've got to say it's the best thing he's ever done by far.

I like Dance Wiv Me (or however it's spelt though), catchy nonsense at its best :)

Morrissey tickets also go on sale a bit too early pay wise.But i think you'll be ok with Dizzy,i mean he isn't go to sell out right away so you'll have a bit more time,Moz will go quickly though i expect  :(

Sad or what, banning cameras, you pay all this money and treated like a criminal. I wonder if it's the artist idea?

I'm not a massive dizzee fan but I thoroughly enjoyed his set at the Big Weekend. Doubt I'd pay to go and see him but commercially he's one of the biggest acts in the UK at the moment a pretty big draw for the Oasis.

I hate Dizzee Rascal but he did know how to get a crowd going and showed that at the Big Weekend. When Bonkers came on the place went erm... bonkers
