The Ting Tings - The group have a fan in Jason Mraz

Oxegen performer Jason Mraz has said that he would love to join The Tings Tings for a performance if given the chance.

When asked by RTÉ.ie who he would like to sneak on stage with at Oxegen, the singer said: "Are The Tings Tings here? I love them. I know there's only two but I think three is the party. I think they need me, at least for a few minutes in their set."

Answering the same question, Bresy from The Blizzards said: "I would have liked to get up with Blur. I'm a big Blur fan, big time."

Deco from Republic of Loose said: "The Artane Boys Band. It would be good to rock out with them. That'd be a good one, to jam with them. We could do a remix. Maybe they could wear our uniform!"

The Kings of Leon turned out to be a popular choice, getting the vote of Danny O'Reilly from The Coronas and MC Double D (Daimon Downey) of Sneaky Sound System.

The Coronas frontman said: "Kings of Leon, I mean I know they're headlining and everything but it's good... I want to say some cool Indie band that no-one knows about but Kings of Leon just blow me away every time."

MC Double D said: "Kings of Leon because all the women want the Kings of Leon apparently. I could fit in quite nicely because I have a beard and long hair. I think I might slip in there and just get away with it actually."
