Across the water in Ireland The Darkness were also on good form, despite the rain, where they once again filled in for David Bowie in the headline slot at the Oxegen Festival. Frontman Justin used the set to pass on a get well soon message to Bowie, telling the crowd: "I'm sure we all agree the sooner David Bowie is back on his feet, the better for music, but we've all had a good time haven't we?"
The Libertines once again got a good reponse, as did Keane, Basement Jaxx, the Zutons and, performing a fantastic greatest hits set, Ash.
